Chapter 87: 86. Loose Ends part-2
Izuna prepares to Open Eights gates.
"Stop him… we can't allow him to complete his technique."
The Leader of the team shouts. All the Root Anbus throws multiple kunais and shuriken towards Izuna.
"Haaah… Gate of Opening… Gate of Healing… Gate of Life… Gate of Pain… Gate of Limit… Gate of View… Open!"
Izuna crosses his hands in front of his hand and opens six gates simultaneously.
A green aura surrounds Izuna, and it flares his chakra up to very high intensity. The opening of the sixth gate releases a shock wave and repels all the incoming kunais and shurikens.
Haaah…
Izuna disappears from his spot and reappears in front of a Root member. He clenches his fist and uses the Chakra strengthening technique and punches the chest of the Root shinobi.
Crack…
The ribs of the Anbu shatter and his body is flung across the forest by the impulse of the punch.
Boom…
One of the root ninjas throws a paper bomb towards Izuna. Izuna disappears again and reappears in front of the ninja. He grabs the neck of the ninja and slams him on the ground.
A small crater at the point of impact, the fate of the root ninja unknown.
"Guess I will add more power output."
Izuna crosses his hands and yells,
'Power Release: Chakra cloak'
A dark red cloak made of lightning and fire cloaks Izuna. His muscles expand from the stimulus of lightning. Lightning flickers around his eyes and Izuna disappear once again.
Swish… boom…
His speed releases a sonic boom, and the ground explodes under his foot. Only a dark red flash could be seen as it wreaks havoc where ever it passes by.
Boom…
Izuna punches one of the Root ninjas. The poor Root ninja explodes into a shower of blood and flesh from the punch. Izuna disappears again and punches another root ninja to a pulp.
Multiple Root anbus makes many hand signs and claps their hands,
'Co-operation Jutsu: Tormenting Thunderstorm'
All the releases lightning chakra towards the sky. The lightning chakra condenses into a thick bolt of lightning and attacks Izuna. The bolt of lightning engulfs Izuna.
"Did we get him?"
'Dark Release: Chakra Absorption'
Two dark red overlapping Diamond marks appear on Izuna's right palm. Izuna absorbs the entire lightning co-operation jutsu through the mark.
"You can have it back."
He directs his palm towards the Root ninjas,
'Dark Release: Chakra expulsion'
The thick bolt of lightning expels from the diamond markings and zaps many Root members to death.
"The target has a technique to absorb over jutsu. Switch to kenjutsu and Taijutsu." The Leader orders his subordinates.
Unfazed by the death of their comrades, the rest of the Root shinobis surround Izuna and throws multiple kunais tied with the Paper bomb at him.
'Magnet Release: Reverse Polarity'
Izuna repels the kunais and shurikens back to the Root shinobis.
Boom….
The paper bombs explode on the Root shinobis, killing them in process.
"The target can use multiple Kekkai Genkai Nature Transformations. His threat level has increased to S-Rank. We need to warn Danzo-sama about this matter. One of you retreat quickly."
The Leader orders the Root members.
'Power Release: Judgement Spear'
Izuna condenses the power release chakra into his hand and shapes it in the form of a spear. He aims it towards the running Root ninjas and locks on his Chakra signature.
'Release'
Boom…
The spear travels at supersonic speed, devastating nearby trees. It pierces through the running Root ninja.
"Mission Failure… I report mission failure. The target is stronger than expected. We have to retreat and report to Danzo-sama."
The Leader orders his troops and turns around and dashes off toward Root.
"What's the hurry? Since you have come already don't leave without accepting my services."
'Swift Release: God Speed'
Izuna appears in front of the Leader and grabs him by the neck.
"No matter what you do, I won't reveal any information regarding my mission to you."
The leader struggles in Izuna's grip.
"There is no need for you to reveal anything, I will extract the information on my own."
Izuna activates his Mangekyo Sharingan to extract information from the Leader.
Click…
The leader clicks his tongue and pulls out his chest garment and triggers a sealing formula.
'Reverse Four Symbol Sealing Seal'
Four sealing symbols are released from his chest and form a large, black sphere around him. The seal starts to suck nearby objects inside him and seal them inside.
Izuna pushes back the Anbu and escapes from the sealing formula with his speed.
"Guess I have to figure out everything from Danzo himself." Izuna picks up the corpse of the leader and runs towards the Anbu headquarter.
"It is time to cut some loose ends. He is the main perpetrator behind the Uchiha Massacre and various other events. I don't want such tragedies to happen again. I will deal with him before I set out on my journey."
---------------
Inside the Root Headquarters,
Danzo moves back and forth while contemplating over some matters.
"The vision in my right eye is fading away. I need a substitute for my right eye. My initial plan was to retrieve Sharingan from Kakashi Hatake, but Sakumo is too much for me to handle."
Danzo touches his right eye and removes the bandages around it. His vision is a little blurry in the right eye.
"That Uchiha kid with the moniker of 'Silent Shinigami' perfectly fits my criteria. His Sharingan is mutated one and as far as I can see through his achievements, the Sharingan has no side-effects."
Danzo picks up a file with the picture and information of Izuna on it.
'Name: Izuna Uchiha…
Age: 13 years
Rank: A-rank threat level
Special traits: Possess a special Mutated Sharingan
Achievements:- Graduated from the academy at the age of 6. Promoted to chunnin at the age of 8. Had extraordinary achievements in the Third Shinobi War and got a moniker of 'Silent Shinigami'. Joined Anbu at the age of 9. Got promoted to Vice-Captain in a year and another promotion to Captain in another two years.
Missions: 30 S-Rank missions with a team, 68 A-rank missions, 79 B-Rank missions, 23 C-Rank missions, and 36 D-Rank missions.'
Danzo throws the file back on the table and ponders.
"The kid just left the village on a long-term mission, and it is a perfect time to strike and take his Sharingan. I can later manipulate the news to declare him as an MIA.
My plan to cause unrest between Uchiha and the village is bearing some fruits. Hiruzen's incompetency is harming the village. I almost succeeding in assassinating him. That damn traitor Kinoe revealed the information to Hiruzen.
I saved him from Orochimaru's experiment. Gave him the freedom and personally trained him. This is how he repays me. A counterfeit will always be a counterfeit."
Danzo looks at his left shoulder and sighs.
'Luckily, I could make some use of Orochimaru. His ambitions and intentions had grown way too much. I wasn't able to control him anymore.
He has become a threat to me. So, I have to deal with him. And what better way than to reveal the wrongdoings of his student to Hiruzen. But that Hiruzen is too soft. He let go of an S-Rank criminal and a potential threat to the village. '
Danzo clenches his fist and scoffs at the incompetency of Hiruzen.
'Orochimaru has complete intel on the power structure of the village, including Anbu and Root. I have to hunt him down. That recruit Kabuto Yakushi will be the perfect candidate. He just needs some training and he will be up for the job.'
Danzo sits on his Hokage chair and plans his next step.
'After I acquire the Sharingan, my next would be the manipulation of Nine-tails. With the power of nine-tails under my control, I can easily gain the position of Hokage.
Then my quest to make Konoha the most powerful Village will start. It won't be long before I become the sole ruler of all nations.'
Kuku… Haha…
Danzo laughs hysterically as he lost in his fantasies.
Boom… boom…
Multiple explosion occurs near the gate of Root headquarters. The sound of the explosion breaks Danzo's daydream. He snaps at one of his subordinate and orders him,
"Check the reason of this commotion… Who dare to cause such a ruckus at Root's headquarters… Immediately capture and neutralize the source of trouble, no matter who it is."
"Yes, Danzo-sama." The Anbu member bows to Danzo and rush to order other Root members.
"Such blatant disrespect. Looks like the intruder takes me as a soft persimmon to dare cause trouble at my turf. I don't fear any consequences, with such power in my grasp, how can I allow anyone to squash my prestige. I will personally head out to face the intruder."
Danzo wears his combat outfit and gets ready to engage the intruder.

Chapter 88: Side Story# Hyuga Affair Part-2
Inside Anbu Headquarters…
Tap… tap… tap…
Izuna slowly taps his fingers on a table as he waits for his team members.
"Hmm… Captain is lost in some serious thoughts. He hasn't moved from that position for a while."
Yugao whispers to a nearby Anbu member.
"What do you think he is thinking about… Kakashi Senpai?" Yugao turns to Kakashi.
"Looks like we have received a new task from Hokage-sama. I heard about the peace treaty with Kumogakure. Maybe our mission is related to it." Kakashi calmly replies to her.
Izuna stands up from his seat and turns towards Anbu members.
'Why didn't I think of this before? I can simply use it to capture the criminal red-handed.'
"Yugao…"
Izuna turns towards Yugao and orders.
"Yugao, buy me a high-quality Video camera currently available in the market."
"Ehh…"
"What?..."
The sudden order startles everyone and one of the Anbu member's questions.
"I am sorry if it sounds rude Captain, but I want to know why you want to buy a video camera. I mean… I thought you called us for a mission!"
Hum… hum…
The rest of the team members nods their head.
"Oh! It's nothing. I just want a camera to record a movie. As for the mission, I indeed have a mission for you. I will explain once Yugao brings me the camera."
Izuna forks out a handful of Ryo notes from his pocket and hands them to Yugao.
"Yugao, go buy the camera."
Yugao takes the money and flickers out to buy the camera. Izuna sits again on the table and continues to tap his fingers.
'Why I never thought of this before? I can just record the entire incident on the camera as proof and present it during the meeting with Raikage.
If Kumogakure still doesn't oblige by the peace treaty, then all I have to do is just infiltrate their village and kidnap the Two-tails or Eight-Tails out from the village.'
Yo!... Yo!... Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh…..
The image of Killer B rapping appears in his mind.
"..."
'Nah! I think I will skip Eight-Tails. It is better to kidnap the Two-tails. I can't handle that guy's ear-rape all by myself.
But still why I didn't think of recording it earlier. The technology of Shinobi World is weird. There is a fcking Laptop in this world but apparently, they still haven't figured out the wireless communication over a long distance.'
"Captain… Captain…"
Izuna's train of thoughts is broken when Yugao appears before him. She is holding a camcorder in her hands.
"I have fulfilled the task you gave me." Yugao looks at Izuna with expectation.
'Sigh… This girl is quite eager to do every job. I just trained her for a few days in Anbu and now I have turned into her idol. Maybe it is not a bad thing.'
Izuna takes the camcorder and checks it's working.
'Hmm… it is similar to the camera I know. So, it won't be hard to operate it.'
Izuna turns towards his Anbu team and yells.
"All of you, 'Say cheese'!"
An awkward expression appears on their face as they weirdly look at their captain.
"What do we do?"
"I don't know."
'What is Captain's order?"
All of them start to murmur among themselves.
"Has Captain gone insane? His behavior is quite odd today." Someone silently remarks in the crowd.
"No, I think he is behaving normally. He always uses strange verbal tics in his speech." Another Anbu remarks.
"..."
A tick mark appears on Izuna's forehead as he stares at his Anbu team.
"All of you give a Goddamn pose for a photo. I want to test the new camera." He roars at them.
"Yes, Sir!" All of them line up and make funny faces while trying to smile.
One of them has a large scar down his cheek and he looks more intimidating while smiling with that huge body of his.
"Bunko! You look menacing with that smile of yours. You should better stop smiling." Izuna remarks at the huge guy.
"But Captain!... I was… I was born this way." The huge guy drops his head in depression.
Izuna makes a shadow clone and takes a photo with them.
'I will miss this band of scoundrels. I will apply for retirement after completing this mission. I want to explore the outside world freely and staying in Anbu will hinder me.'
The photo session causes a cheerful expression in the meeting room of Team Ro.
Cough… cough…
Izuna coughs loudly to draw their attention.
"Playtime is over. It's time to get serious."
The expression of all Anbu members changes as they adopt a serious expression.
After gathering everyone's attention, Izuna continues.
"I am sure most of you are aware of the recent peace treaty between Kumogakure and Konohagakure. An entourage of Kumo will arrive tomorrow to sign the peace treaty.
So, to make sure Kumogakure doesn't play any dirty tricks; Hokage-sama has ordered our team to ensure the safety of the village."
All of them nods their head. Izuna stops and looks at his Team members.
"Now, I will assign various tasks and make a strategy for efficiency."
Izuna assigns various tasks according to their abilities. Finally, he turns towards Yugao and Kakashi.
"Kakashi! I want you to monitor the residence of Kumogakure during this entire mission. If you receive my signal, then immediately capture all of them."
"Yes, Captain!" Kakashi nods his head.
"As for you, Yugao, how about going out to a birthday party with me?"
"Ehh…" Yugao freaks out at this sudden proposal.
'Is Captain asking me on a date? But… but… isn't it too early?'
Yugao starts to fantasize about various things in her mind. A blush appears on her face.
"What's up this girl?" Izuna cluelessly stares at her.
'I just invited her because nobody will suspect her as an Anbu. She doesn't have any particular achievement under her belt, and hardly anyone knows about her.
For me, I am part of the Uchiha clan and thus I received an invitation from one of the main family members I saved during the Third Shinobi War.'
He turns towards her and questions.
"Yugao, do you hear me?"
"Yes… yes, Captain."
"I have a hunch that the Kumogakure will join the birthday celebration of Hyuga princess.
So, both of us will disguise over self and join the birthday party. I have an invitation to the party. You can tag along." He explains to her.
"Yes… captain." Yugao nods her head with a blush.
'What should I wear for the party? I have to shop for some clothes for this occasion.'
Izuna ignores her and continues to assign guard duties to other team members.
'I have to choose the possible routes around the Hyuga clan and the Kumo ninja's residence for the guard duty. It would be easy to capture them once they move.'
---------------------
Next day,
The entourage of the Kumogakure arrived in Konoha. Hiruzen personally escorted them to the meeting room, and both sides signed the peace treaty.
Hiruzen shook hands with the Head Ninja of Kumogakure.
"Konoha wish for a long peaceful corporation."
"Kumogakure, too wish for a peaceful corporation."
Koharu, Homura, and Danzo nods their head and escort the Head Ninja.
The Head Ninja turns towards Hiruzen and requests.
"I heard the Hyuga clan is celebrating the third birthday of their Princess.
It would be an honor to partake in such an event, if possible. I think such an occasion will allow both villages to further improve their relationship down the road." The Head Ninja has a sly smile on his face when he proposes the suggestion.
'Raikage-sama is waiting at Land of Hot Water's borders, together with Anbu members. If I can successfully capture the Byakugan, then our Kumo will be able to research the secrets of this Kekkai Genkai.
Our Kumogakure suffered a huge loss in the Third war due to the Hyuga clan.'
"This…"
Hiruzen hesitates for a while before signaling a nearby Anbu member.
The Anbu members flicker towards the Hyuga clan.
"I would have to request permission from the Hyuga clan head for this matter. If he allows, then you can certainly participate in the meeting." Hiruzen tries to appease the 'Head Ninja'.
Sigh…
The Head Ninja sighs and turns around while replying.
"I thought that such an interaction will further strengthen our relationship. But I guess Konoha doesn't share the same sentiments. Anyway, my work is done here. So, I will return to Kumo."
"Wait… wait… Konoha is eager to strengthen our relationship."
"I will personally talk with the Hyuga clan head."
Hiruzen turns towards Homura and Koharu.
"Homura, Koharu! Please escort our guest around the various scenic spots of the village while I meet with the Hyuga clan head."
"Very well!" Both of them nod their head and escort the 'Head Ninja'.
An unnoticeable grin appears on Head Ninja's face.
"Where would you like to start, Respected guest?" Koharu questions him.
He quickly hides his grin and replies.
"Let's start with the place with most people."
"Oh! So our guest would like to visit a public bathhouse. I will escort you there." Homura leads the 'Head Ninja' towards the bathhouse.
"So, it looks like our respected guest is such kind of person." Homura has a knowing smile on his face.
"Ah.. yes… yes…" The Head Ninja scratches his head.
'Wtf? I just want to see their training ground. I think it is the busiest place, but a bathhouse. Well, never mind I deserve a break after breaking all that sweat in the meeting.'
---------------------
A/N:- The romance may seem forced in this chapter but I wrote it as a one-side crush on Yugao's part. I am no that adept at writing romance, so I am trying to learn it through side stories.
Regular chapter coming in few more hours.
