Chapter 143: 139. Meeting Utakata
Later in the next morning,
Izuna gives some instructions to Kimimaro before departing for the Terumi clan.
He enters inside the Terumi clan mansion. Three people are bowing in front of Fuji Terumi.
Izuna inspects them and recognizes one of them.
'Wait… He looks like Utakata. If I remembered correctly… he is the Jinchuruki of Six-tails.'
Izuna inspects Utakata. He secretly activates his Sharingan to gauge Utakata's chakra.
Hmm…
'He is not a jinchuruki yet. Maybe he will become one in the future.'
Izuna walks over to Fuji Terumi. Fuji notices him and nods his head.
He introduces Izuna to the three shinobis beside him.
"So… the fourth member I mentioned has arrived."
Fuji points towards Izuna and introduces him.
"He is Yuito Yuki… a member of Yuki clan and ice release user. He was the one who saved Mei."
The three members scrutinize him for a second. They notice his girly appearance and lose their interest.
Izuna tilts his head in confusion at Fuji.
Fuji introduces the three of them to Izuna. He points at a spectacled middle-aged man.
"He is Harusame… one of my trusted comrades from the Second Ninja war."
Fuji points at another person with a bamboo hat.
"He is Zengetsu… another trusted subordinate of mine. Last but not the least…"
Fuji points at Utakata and introduces him.
"He is Utakata… a student of Harasume and a powerful shinobi himself. All of you will be the personal guard of Mei and secretly protect her during every mission while completing the mission. Her safety will be your priority."
All of them nod their head and bow in front of Fuji.
"You all should familiarize yourself to know more about each other's abilities."
Fuji dismisses them before returning inside the mansion.
Sigh…
'That girl is so reckless. As a father… I can't help but worry about her future. If only there was no political power struggle… then I would have found a worthy man for her and married her off… I want to see my grandchildren before my death.'
Cough… cough…
Fuji violently coughs for a minute. He wipes the blood from his mouth and enters a room.
Elder Genji is patiently waiting for him. Elder Genji raises his head and notices the taint of blood.
"Your condition is getting worse… I will call one of my medic-ninja now."
Elder Genji knocks his stick on the floor.
Swoosh…
An Anbu member immediately flickers in front of him.
"Summon Hira. Clan leader Fuji needs medical attention."
Swoosh…
The anbu member immediately flickers out from the room. Fuji turns to Elder Genji and reports.
"Elder Fuji… he surely has some skills to survive an assassin attempt from 'Night Reaper'… but I don't think the Noble clan will give in that easily."
Hmm…
Elder Genji nods his head.
"Now he is one of our men. We can't allow the noble clans to do as they please. Lady Mei's safety is our priority…"
Elder Genji looks at Fuji's conditions for a second before he continues.
"You should slowly train her to handle the responsibilities of the clan and the village."
Sigh…
Fuji rubs his forehead as he ponders.
--------------------------
Izuna scrutinizes the three people in front of him while they do also inspect him.
"I am Yuito Yuki." Izuna smiles at them while secretly inspecting their chakra.
Hmm…
'Utakata and Harasume have normal amounts of chakra. But this bamboo hat guy has way more chakra than a normal shinobi. Also… what's with that water bottle ties to his belt.'
The bamboo hat guy removes his hat and re-introduces himself.
"I am Zengetsu Hozuki… of the Hozuki clan."
Zengetsu has a tall and slender stature. He has blonde hairs styled into a pompadour. He has no eyebrows, a very thin mustache, and a triangular goatee.
Izuna notices the pompadour on Zengetsu's head and barely holds himself from laughing.
'He looks hilarious with that pompadour. Is that the reason why… he is wearing a bamboo hat?'
Zengetsu wears his hat again.
'Hmm… but to be from Hozuki clan. He must have some sort of relationship with the Second Mizukage.'
Out of his curiosity, he questions Zengetsu.
"Hozuki clan… one of the most powerful clans of Kirigakure. Even the Second Mizukage was one of the most powerful shinobi of Kirigakure."
Zengetsu nods his head as he reminisces.
"Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki was my Uncle and mentor. He was my idol, and it is my dream to become as powerful as him."
Zengetsu clenches his fists in resolution.
"So… do you want to become the next Mizukage?"
"No… I have no interest in Mizukage's position. I am not qualified enough to become a Mizukage."
Zengetsu shakes his head and denies it.
Izuna turns to the master-disciple pair. Utakata is staring at Harusame's every action like a devotee.
'This guy is fangirling his sensei.'
Harusame adjusts his spectacle with his index finger as he closely looks at Izuna's appearance. He then turns towards Utakata and assesses them with his eyes.
Shiver…
Izuna feels a shiver run down his spine.
'This pair of Master-student seems to have a quite complicated relationship.'
"So… you are an Ice Release user? It has been a while since I last saw someone with that cursed bloodline." Harusame remarks.
"Cursed Bloodline…?"
Izuna frowns as questions Harusame.
"What do you mean cursed bloodline?"
Haha…
Harusame chuckles before he replies.
"I don't want to scare you, kid… but there is a rumor spread across the village…"
Harusame pauses as he looks at Izuna's appearance.
"The male members of the Yuki clan are born with a womanly appearance because of their Ice Release Kekkei Genkai… and none of the male members survives till the age of thirty. Yes… thirty… no known male member of Yuki clan survived past that age… it was also the part of the reason why Yuki clan is on the verge of extinction."
Harusame turns towards Utakata and orders.
"Utakata… I have a task for you."
"Yes… sensei!"
Utakata silently follows Harusame. Zengetsu pats his head and walks away.
"See… you later, boy."
Izuna stares at the back of the bunch and muses.
'I guess I have some interesting days waiting ahead of me.'
He turns around the corner of the room to leave the mansion.
Bump…
He collides with someone and falls on them.
Squish… squish…
He feels a soft sensation in his hand.
'This feels good. It's a perfect size… it perfectly fits into my palms.'
Squish…
Unnghh…
Mei moans as she stares at Izuna in anger.
"If you had enough.. then would you mind standing up."
"I am sorry…"
Izuna immediately leaves his grasp and stands up.
"You have a perfect size." Izuna compliments her.
"Shut up… you pervert!" Mei blushes and immediately runs away from there.
Just now… she eavesdropped on the conversation between Elder Genji and her father. They were talking about her marriage. She bumped into Izuna while running away from the room.
'Marriage… it's still too soon for me. I have to ease some burdens of the father, then only I could think about marriage.'
The girly face of Yuito appears in her eyes.
'No… he is a pervert and also a member of the Yuki clan. I don't about the truth of the Yuki clan's curse, but I don't want to see my loved one die. Also… there is no redeeming feature in him… well… besides his face.'
Mei shakes her head and enters her room.
She takes out a picture of a woman from the closet. The woman has a similar appearance to her.
"Mother… father is trying his best to keep me happy… but I am already aware of his disease. He is trying very hard to hide it from me."
Drip… drip…
Tears fell from her eyes as she clutches the photo.
"I just want the father to live a bit longer."
Knock… knock…
"Mei… Mei…"
Fuji calls her name.
Mei immediately wipes her eyes and cleans her face.
"Come in… Dad."
Fuji enters the room and notices the picture of his wife in Mei's hand.
"So… you were spending some time with your mother. Uh…"
Mei nods her head.
"Hah… Sometimes… I also miss her. Her anniversary is coming soon… both of us will pay a visit to her grave together."
Sigh…
Fuji sighs as he continues.
"Mei… you need to take some of my responsibilities. Your father is growing old and may die someday. I need you to be capable to handle the matters of the clan and the village on your own."
"You are fine, dad… nothing will happen to you. Also… I am ready for the mission." Mei hugs Fuji.
"Ok… ok… now listen. The jinchuruki of the six-tails died mysteriously during the Third Great Ninja War. He was a close aide of Third Mizukage-sama and one member of our faction."
Mei nods her head as she listens to the explanation.
"Now… some of our men have spotted a large influx of chakra gathering at this lake."
Fuji marks a location on a map.
"We believe it to be the revival of the Six-tails. As you know, the greater the number of tails… a tailed-beast has… the more chakra it possesses. Six tails has a tremendous amount of chakra compared to the Three tails… so it took it so long to resurrect."
Fuji rolls the map and passes it to Mei.
"We believe in another month or so… the Six-tails will be fully resurrected. So, we want to capture it and reseal it as soon as possible. I have some qualms regarding the Noble clan on this matter. They are already in the possession of Three-tails… and they will try to lay their hands on Six-Tails too. I want you to oversee the process of the capture of Six-Tails with your team."
Fuji explains the entire situation to her and passes a scroll of all of her team members
"Yes… dad."
Mei nods her head and flips open the scroll to see the individuals in her team.
"Yuito Yuki."
Mei frowns as she notices the name of her team members.
'This pervert is also on this mission. Did he earned father's trust?'

Chapter 144: 140. Electromagnet Release
A month passes in the blink of an eye.
Izuna will occasionally give some instructions to Kimimaro to improve his physical strength. He would spend the rest of his time completing some missions with Mei and his group of three oddballs.
He met with Ao in a few missions and Ao was still skeptical of him… for the reasons unknown to both Izuna and Ao. His missions usually included escorting missions, guard missions and dealing with some skirmishes… nothing major which he couldn't handle with his current level of power.
Izuna is resting on top of a tree in Terumi compound as he silently ponders.
'I can see some clues on the development of Kekkei Shi. The 'Night Release' which I learnt from the assassin guy is my key to access it.
Combining two Nature transformations... Kekkei Genkai is currently way beyond my league.'
Izuna closes his eyes as he remembers his attempt of creating a Kekkei Shi.
---------Flashback-No-Jutsu----------
At the outer edge of Shikkotsu forest,
Izuna takes a deep breath and calms his nerves.
"I have simulated this process several times through genjutsu while considering all variables. I am all set."
Izuna turns to Katsuyu and questions her.
"Lady Katsuyu… is it alright for me to test my new jutsu here? The power of my jutsu is way beyond anything I have done before."
Katsuyu nods her head.
"It's alright. This place is located on the outer edge of the Shikkotsu forest and is barren. No creatures are residing in this part of the forest.
It used to be the lair of the 'Forest Beast' who went on a rampage a few centuries ago. Thanks to the efforts of Kenshiro-sama… he was sealed in another space. So… it's fine to use it for your new jutsu training."
Izuna nods his head.
"Alright then…"
Katsuyu retreats to a considerable safe distance from Izuna. Izuna clasps his hand together and enters into Sage Mode.
A cyan colour cloak appears him. There is a single tomoe on cloak's front and back.
Haah…
Izuna claps his hands as he focuses Magnet Release chakra in his left hand and Storm Release chakra in his right hand.
'Magnet Release is a combination of Wind Release and Earth Release... whereas Storm Release is a combination of Lightning Release and Water Release. If I can combine them perfectly… then I will be able to create the 'Electromagnet Release'… my first Kekkei Shi. I can't lose focus here.'
He slowly infuses the magnet release chakra and the storm release chakra near each other.
'Now I have to combine them in correct proportion. I can't make any mistakes here.'
He activates his Mangekyo Sharingan and slowly analyses the process.
The magnet release chakra and the storm release chakra slowly start to meld together. Izuna feels a large amount of resistance in his hands as the two chakra natures start to push each other.
'I have to hold on…'
Both chakra natures start to combine as they form a purple orb in his hand.
"Is this… Electromagnet Release?"
Izuna inspects the purple orb as he tries to stabilize it.
'I just have to memorize the right chakra proportion and I will create my first Kekkei Shi.'
He adds a little more chakra to the orb. The orb starts to shake violently.
"Shit… I messed up at the last step. I can't stabilize it anymore."
Bzzzt…
Lighting and all other elements flicker through the purple orb as it slowly starts to expand.
'Fuck… I have destroyed the integrity of the elements. Now… it has destabilized into these fundamental elements.
Sizzle…
The purple orb scorches his hand. His healing factor kicks in… to heal the injuries.
The burns heal at a very slow rate.
"What… these burn marks aren't healing rapidly?"
Izuna immediately tosses the purple orb to the nearby mountain. Without Izuna's stabilization… the purple orb immediately expands to the size of a large water tank and it continues to expand.
BOOOOMMMM…
The purple orb expands and collapses violently, creating a vacuum in the area.
Bzzzzttt…
It releases a powerful EMP blast, which slams into Izuna and knocks him away.
Boom…
Izuna collides into a nearby mountain and passes out.
Wooh…
The vacuum created by the purple orb sucks nearby minerals and metals from the ground inside itself.
Various rocks and minerals float around the vacuum.
Fwoosh…
The vacuum loses its energy source and collapses into a single point before fading out of existence.
Bzzztttt…
It releases another EMP blast, which knocks the floating rocks and minerals.
Wham… wham… wham…
The floating rocks crash into the ground… one after another.
Boom….
Dust and debris rise in the area.
Katsuyu's optical tentacles shake in a frenzy as she stares at the devastation caused by Izuna's jutsu with disbelief.
"This… this jutsu… is so powerful… even… even Hashirama-Sama's wood release pales in comparison to it. No… even Kenshiro-Sama's power pales in comparison to this jutsu. What… what kind of jutsu was it?
The dust and debris settle… Katsuyu immediately slithers at Izuna's location.
She notices Izuna, who is buried beneath a large boulder.
Thwack…
She slaps away the giant boulder with her tail and immediately crawls towards Izuna.
Boop…
She splits a fragment of her body into another Katsuyu. The mini Katsuyu slither over to Izuna and checks his condition.
"He has lost his consciousness. That earlier blast of energy attacked his nervous system. He will take some time to recover."
Slither… slither…
The mini Katsuyu carries him to the deeper parts of the Shikkotsu forest.
The Large Katsuyu looks around the area to estimate the damage caused by Izuna's jutsu.
Bzzz…
Deep purple lighting flickers through the large crater created by Izuna's jutsu.
Katsuyu feels dizzy as she walks towards the crater. She turns around and retreats to the forest.
Swoosh… swoosh…
Many large foxes appear beside her.
"Greetings… Lady Katsuyu!"
One of the larger fox bows in front of Katsuyu.
Hmm…
Katsuyu nods her head as she instructs them.
"Barricade this area. It is an inhabitable zone from now on. None of the creatures residing in the forest are allowed to enter this area. There is strange energy fluctuating through the rocks present here. You will lose your mind… if you came in contact with that."
"Yes… Lady Katsuyu." The large Fox nods his head and instructs other members of his clan.
Kurumi pauses before she walks towards Katsuyu.
"Lady Katsuyu… about Izuna-sama… is he alright? Earlier I saw him attempting something near that mountain. Is he the reason behind this incident?"
"You don't have to worry about him. He will be alright. You should focus on erecting a barrier around this place." Katsuyu avoids her question and orders her.
"Yes… Katsuyu Sama." Kurumi bows her head and retreats with her clan.
Hmmm…
"What kind of power did he use�� to create such destruction?" Katsuyu looks at the remains of the mountain. There is a bottomless pit at the former position of the lair of the 'Forest Beast'.
"For now… healing him is my priority."
Katsuyu slowly slithers inside the forest.
Inside one of the caves near the giant tree of Shikkotsu Forest...
Mini Katsuyu lays Izuna on a bed as she inspects his condition.
Wiggle… wiggle…
She shakes her optical tentacles to signal other Katsuyu. Many chibi Katsuyu appears inside the room.
"Use Nature Energy to heal his wounds. His condition is quite serious."
"Yes…"
The chibi Katsuyu clings on Izuna's body. Their body starts to glow cyan as they absorb Nature energy from the surroundings and transfer it to Izuna.
Swirl…
The Sin seal activates, and it starts to absorb the Nature energy at a rapid rate. Many dark markings appear all over Izuna's body.
Swirl…
The apparition of Kushina and Minato swirls out of the grimoire. Both of them stare at Izuna and frown.
"I have never seen such strange sealing formulas."
Kushina comments as she looks at the strange markings on Izuna's body.
"It's probably caused by this book." Minato points to the 'Sin Grimoire'.
Both of them turn to Kurama to question him.
Kurama turns his head away from them and whistles… completely ignoring their presence.
"This bastard…" Kushina's hairs start to rise as she angrily glares at Kurama.
"Neh… Neh… It's alright Kushina. I am sure Izuna-kun is fine."
Minato tries to calm her down.
"He is right… He is just in a small coma. He will recover soon and perhaps even grow stronger than before." Kurama raises its head and remarks before closing his eye.
Phew…
Kushina calms down and heaves a sigh of relief.
"I hope… he is alright." She then turns to Minato and questions him.
"Minato… do you know what was he trying to do earlier?"
Hmm…
Minato ponders for a while before he replies.
"Earlier… I saw him using Magnet Release and Storm Release. If my speculation is correct… he was trying to combine them to create a new jutsu."
Kushina nods her head in understanding.
"I have seen the Third Kazekage using the Magnet Release before and the Third Raikage using the Storm Release… I am not sure how Izuna-kun learnt them… but whatever he was trying has never been tried before." Minato continues to speculate.
"Izuna has a Mangekyo Sharingan… and every Mangekyo Sharingan has unique abilities. Maybe… it is the ability of his Mangekyo Sharingan." Kushina points out to Minato.
"Hmm… it's quite possible. He must have somehow learnt them using his Mangekyo ability. Anyway… when Izuna tried to combine the two Kekkei Genkais… the elemental forces came into play and repelled his attempt.
Free energy always pursues chaos... and it is the reason… that his jutsu failed. I don't have any other explanation."
Minato shakes his head.
