Chapter 34: End of exams
During this week I managed to collect some good information. For example, in ANBU there are 4 squads and 4 squad captains. The captains are in white coats, and the rest are in black. Sitting in the form of an unremarkable man in a chair among the crowd, I watched people talking and watching the preparations for the tournament. Who against whom has already been determined, it remains to wait until everything starts.
Looking to the right, I saw the girls standing in a special place for them and also watching. With a grin, I looked at the Kazekage of the sand. Fully wrapped in his disguise, he sat next to the Hokage. Finally, the jоunin came out with senbon in his mouth and announced the beginning. Hour after hour, suppressing the desire to sleep, I watched their battles. Constantly shouting, making a lot of unnecessary movements, and explaining their moves to the enemy, this pissed me off.
Although they are a year younger than me, I have gone my way with training, blood and sweat. My chakra reserves had grown enough for a prolonged fight, but I continued to envy those who were more capable than me. Having calmed down, I wondered where this hatred in my heart came from.
Closing my eyes, I exhaled. Opening again, I realized that I had caught a suspicious glance from one of the ANBU, but without giving a sign continued to disguise.
Shino from the Aburame clan and a guy with a note on his forehead protector entered the arena. If I remember correctly he was from the village of sound? Orochimaru Village?
Observing how they communicated, I realized that, unlike this guy with a note on the frontal protector, Shino had already started his attack on a signal and his beetles had already climbed in and surrounded the target. The fight went quickly with fireworks from the boy's hands. Now he can never become a ninja again.
The girls' fights passed pretty quickly. The only team opponent I knew was Sakura versus Ajisai. Sakura lost pretty quickly and didn't hurt herself. We can say she was lucky.
Bored, I rested my cheek on my hand, the fighting ceased to interest me, and out of the corner of my eye I looked at the girl sitting next to me in civilian clothes. She looked like an ordinary girl with black hair, but sitting next to me, I felt the mass of chakra pressing on me. She knows how to hide poorly.
The question remained which village this ninja was. Suddenly, all the spectators in the stadium began to yawn and bow their heads while closing their eyes. Entering the role, I myself yawned, but immediately dispersed the chakra and canceled my appearance by showing absolutely black-blue clothes and a rag mask. I did not want to show that I am Akatsuki, as well as the fact that I am a Cat an S rank killer. After jumping out, I ran along the walls of the stadium and the railing towards the Ajisai team. As it turned out, I set the priorities correctly. The second I opened up, all the ninja revealed themselves too. The Sand Ninja began killing the nearest ninja. The Anbu gathered in teams and ran towards the Hokage.
And next to the Ajisai team was one in the form of a sand jounin. He appeared behind them, with kunai in hand, and hit one of the girls in the head with a swipe. I had no time to save her, even activating the sage mode. Fortunately, as the leader of the team, Ajisai was the most capable and managed to grab Suiren's head and tilt it thus saving her. Kunai passed directly overhead, and immediately changed direction went, vertically back aiming at the head. But now I didn't give him a chance and just ripped his head off at high speed. The body flew away without head. The head fell from my palm with the print of my hand and I turned to the team.
"We are leaving the village follow me." - Having said, I looked towards Hiruzen at the roof. Apparently, there was little to see, but the four walls of fire burned like a beacon. Realizing that Hiruzen was locked up there, I wanted to observe, but since I took up the mission, I did not want to ruin it. We run to the city walls.
Thinking, I stopped and the girls stopped, too, waiting for my command. Looking from the roof of the house, I thought to send the girls to the shelter, but not the fact that they will be accepted there. Thinking about what to do with this load, I looked into street.
After activating the Sharingan, I saw chakra waves somewhere nearby. The ninja of the sand village came out of the door of the house, followed by the rest of the team.
"Where the hell is everyone? We did not meet a single child or woman on the way, "said the seeming captain of the detachment.
As always, at time of war they were looking for something to profit from. By declaring war, they saw resources and women as prey. Unfortunately for them, they noticed us, and before the commander of their small detachment signaled to attack, I jumped towards them, accelerating my fall to the ground. With a loud explosion, I landed and, bouncing off the ground, like bullet flew towards the first victim. But the jounin are not childrens and had combat experience, so a fist strengthened by chakra rushed to my head along the necessary trajectory. Stopping right before the collision, I activated the sharingan. Everything has become slow-motion.
Diverting a blow to my head with my left hand, I turned around and kicked back in the chest. The body was thrown to the side of the house and stuck in the wall, forming a dent.
"Shit! he killed capitan Fugakari! attack, this is an enemy!" - another one jumped at me, a moment later the others followed him. Deciding not to waste precious time, I pulled out my katana. Rushing forward, I beat off the stream of kunai and killed one after another with precise blows of the blade. Putting the blade back into its sheath, I signaled to the team and ran towards the village wall.
When I reached the wall, I ran up. After i reached the right staircase, I looked around and did not see anyone except us. From a great height, I saw how far from us the wall collapsed and a huge three-headed snake appeared. Growling ignoring the explosions on her body, she went to the center of village. Deciding not to waste any more time, I went inside, taking out the stamps along the way.
"This is an abandoned point of the ANBU division. More precisely, its another branch, but it does not matter. There is a secret room here. This is where you will sit. At the moment, there is an invasion outside and I have a business. I will leave my clone with you, but he is more here to tell me if something goes wrong then protecting you. So do not get out and wait for the end. I will come for you. "
Ajisai nodded gravely and answered for everyone at once.
"I understood Cat-sama. We will be here waiting for you. "
Coming out, I threw a couple of seals on the wall. The ink spilled over the wall and the door disappeared into the illusion of a solid wall. Jumping, I rushed towards the barrier, I landed on the roof of the building and, activating the sage and Sharingan , I peered into the barrier. The barrier was not familiar to me, but there was a feeling that it was not so absolute when attacking Sussano.
Everything inside the barrier was filled with tree branches. In the middle of everything, I saw Hiruzen standing with folded seals and shouting about something. Orochimaru stood opposite with a girl's face and laughed. Watching how the old man was beaten, I frowned, not understanding what he did. He was definitely in powerful genjutsu, but nevertheless, knowing the very ways to break out of such techniques, I waited for the Hokage to break free.
But the clash continued and the First and Second Hokage beat him like a rag. Watching them with the Sharingan I learned many great techniques and how to parry. Watching how the first Hokage deflected the blow of Hiruzen's staff and in-flight changed the fall by shifting the center of gravity, I remembered it to. The battle continued, but Hiruzen continued to make seals and nothing happened. I remembered them but could not remember similar ones to this. These seals were similar to contract seals but something different. A sudden insight came over me.
This is the technique!
After activating Mangyoku, I looked behind Hiruzenu's back. No one except the one called could see him, but my eyes saw him. With a knife in his mouth, his red eyes and his arms outstretched, he held a blue-violet mass in the shape of a man. The blue thread ran towards Hiruzen. There was no purple mass around Hiruzen, only around the first with the second Hokage and Orochimaru.
However, there was a lot of green around this entity that Hiruzen summoned. I still could not figure out what the colors meant, only put forward a theory that these are layers of the soul.
Suddenly the creature turned its head towards me and looked at me as if sensing my gaze. It looked at me and turned away. In this look, I saw life and realized that it was fucking reasonable. And this creature is just a projection of the real one. The real ones are clearly far from here. This was evident from the way the body was constantly evaporating, but absorbing all the energy around it, it formed itself again. An endless cycle, holding on to the soul of Hiruzen and the contract.
Hiruzen jumped forward and made 2 clones. A confrontation began between him and Orochimaru.
Every second of the tug on Orochimaru's soul brought unbearable pain to both. All this time I watched this battle and was amazed. What Hiruzen pulled out was really a soul covered with seals.
After a moment, the Reaper grabbed Orochimaru's hands and cut them off. After that, he swallowed everything including Hiruzen soul and disintegrated into the remnants of chakra. Hiruzen slowly leaned forward and fell with a smile on his face looking at Orochimaru who shook his rotten hands and shouted at the old man with a terrible face who no longer heard him. The chakra disappeared from the body of Hiruzen, I saw it and realized that this was the end.
I didn't really feel sad after everything he did. Still, it was a little sad to see how his choices in the past led to the fact that the village was destroyed. Remembering one more incident, my regret about his death disappeared completely. One day, Hinata was stolen from the Hyūga clan. She was returned but the kidnapper died. As a result, when another country blamed Hiruzen for killing their ninja and gave him the choice of war or the death of an Hyuga clan member, Hiruzen, like a coward despite the strength of the village and his power, chose to sacrifice Neji's father.
Taking out my katana, I prepared myself. Wonder whether to catch up with Orochimaru and his four men and kill them. Suddenly, from somewhere, a large mass of chakra breathed that was released. Turning around, I ran in that direction with a smile. It was good moment and im not going to loose this chance.
After 10 minutes of continuous running at high speed, I came out to place with broken trees and large holes in the ground. There was an earthquake and jumping to a high point I saw a giant toad that threw a giant sword on which was sitting Naruto covered with Orange chakra with two tails. They fought against Shukaku, deciding to help them quickly, I waited for Naruto to retreat after a couple of blows that even with the fox's chakra did little to the sand. Jumping through the trees, I jumped on the nose of Shukaku.
He was a creature entirely composed of chakra, which takes physical form taking materials from somewhere. In this case, the sand, but since it was completely from chakra, it was easier to just influence it with your own eyes. Having dispersed the chakra, I seemed to have thrown them into pots. Opening my eyes, I looked at Shukaku with patterned eyes and in angry voice from the pain in my eyes from the abundance of chakra I ordered.
"Sleep."
Shukaku died down. His eyes went out and the sand lost its color. Slowly, the entire mountain of sand began to fall, losing its shape of the tailed beast. All chakra began to return to Gaara's body. But now the real reason has come why I helped Naruto. Before all the yellow chakra returned back to the red-haired boy, I grabbed with my hand and sealed as much of the one-tailed chakra as possible in my hand. Having pulled it out, I retreated and ran away.
Having run away a sufficient distance, I took out a scroll with one hand and opened a small earthen pot that looked worthless. But in truth, it took 14 million and a lot of time and my nerves to create it.
Having enveloped the pot with chakra, I began slowly straining my eyes to control the received chakra and put it into the pot. After a long battle with a part of Shukaku, I was finally able to do it and, having closed the lid, tore the paper from the edge of the pot. Seals spread all over the pot and the lid jerked off.
After wiping the sweat from my forehead, I took out the water and drank some. After removing everything, I prepared to return to my team. Taking back my real clothes and raincoat, I stood up and looked ahead.
"Eight more to go. " - Having said to myself with relief that I had already achieved something, I ran towards the village. There were no security posts and, having climbed onto the wall, I looked down from above. A large trail of destruction stretched from the broken wall. Fire blazed everywhere and leaf village ninjas were running. One jumped to me, believing that I was an enemy. Having tripped him, I hit him on the head, knocking him out and threw him into the trees. Looking at the wall, I saw two familiar figures. One of them had a huge sword on his back. They both stood there and watched the destruction. Realizing who it was, I ignored them and went to pick up my team. I couldn't strain anymore and I needed rest. The tailed beast chakra was too violent and not the host's name grabbed hold of my body. Before sealing it, poorly prepared, I managed to lose the main supply of chakra. The pills remained, but I would rather not use them.
Upon entering the hideout door, I was greeted by a bunch of traps including explosive seals. Apparently, the girls were ready to kill the enemy and buried themselves in the wall. Disconnecting everything, I crept inside. Two girls leaned against the wall were asleep, and the third sat and looked into the door. Guessing the moment when she blinks, I jumped silently over them on the ceiling. Standing over her, I reached out and knocked on her right shoulder and quickly hid in the shadows. Fuyo jumped up quietly, grabbing both kunais. But finding nothing, she tensed even more. After a while, she calmed down and apparently convinced herself that it just seemed to her. Yawning, she sat back down to look at the door and listen.
Shaking my head at such a disregard for her life and friends, I thought. Should she be given a lesson that she will remember?
Dropping like a feather behind her, I grabbed her throat and arms. Looking at the door, she could not see me. Changing my voice to rough and harsh, I opened my mouth.
"It didn't seem to you. Now you and they are dead. "
Unable to move or breathe, she tried to escape like a fish, but lost consciousness. By pinching her carotid artery, I gave her time to remember the moment. The way she carelessly didn't check every corner of the room and didnt wake up her team could have cost me three million.
Putting her down neatly on the ground, I decided to wait until they wake up at the same time and rest myself. Fuyo's carelessness reminded me of one of the assignments. It was necessary to steal a scroll from one of the roving ninja groups. They robbed the village and I was paid to return the scroll.
Having found them, I then screwed up, sneezing on a cold night. Two got up, but not finding anything, they said bless you in the tent, believing that their dead comrade sneezed. They sat down again to guard the trees, where I finished my work and killed them for their mistake.
Sitting down, I scattered my clone outside and began to recover chakra while planning what to do next.
