Chapter 7: Chapter 6: Danzo's Idea
Early afternoon
Yua Clan Compound
At the center of the compound lies the Clan head's house.
It was large enough that they had a built-in meeting room, not that the Yua Clan was a huge Clan in the first place.
They were only known to be able to once in a while produce Jonin Class shinobi along with their skilled swordsmanship.
Currently all male clansmen of the Yua Clan were present in the meeting room looking at the party they had sent to exterminate the Karatachi Clan.
It's almost three weeks since they sent the party.
At the lead of the group was a man with an indifferent face, brown hair with brown eyes.
There were two Jonin currently in the Yua Clan they were the Clan head's son and Riku the man currently kneeling in front of the Clan head.
'I sent ten clansmen on the extermination of the Karatachi Clan however, only three clansmen had returned.
Looking at the tattered clothes, and wounds it seems the Karatachi was actually trying to build up its strength.
After all, the ninjas they had sent were the best in the clan.
Luckily we managed to cut it from its roots.' thought the Yua Clan's head, Yuto, as he eyed a sack that was beside Riku.
"So you have completed the task. However, it seems to have come with a cost, tell us the details." ordered Yuto.
Hearing Yuto's voice the Yua Clansmen all perked up to listen to what Riku was going to say.
"I pay respects to the Clan Head, we completed the mission successfully. However, the current Clan head of the Karatachi Clan was troublesome, and was the cause of many of our casualties." replied Riku without hesitation or stutter.
"So that brat was able to become quite strong within these few decades. Tell me did he have any children?" thought Yuto as he recalled the previous clan head of the Karatachi Clan.
The troubles he caused by lasting an hour against the Fuji Clan and the Toru clan caused him to grimace.
Luckily he still believed the Yua Clan was on their side and had no doubts when a group of Yua Clan Shinobi provided 'support'.
The hurtful expression he showed when he stabbed his blade through his heart still brings joys to Yuto's heart.
However, that sweet memory brought a bitter expression when the Karatachi Clan Head didn't die peacefully but rather tried to cut him down.
Except he failed, when Riku's father managed to move him away and took the hit instead.
Riku's father was a Jonin of the clan, they would have had three if it weren't for that man.
'He should have died peacefully'.
Riku looked at the Clan Heads pensive expression and saw the clenched fists knowing that the Clan head was likely recalling the day when his father died.
'A useful tool that shouldn't have died.' Riku read the clan heads' thoughts.
He had planned to run away from the clan going far away where no one could find him or knew him.
He wished to escape from being viewed as a tool or the expectation to serve for the greater good of the clan.
However, recalling the Clan Heads' words, Riku sight went to the brown sack remembering the person who was in there.
'Doesn't seem like I'll be able to get away with this fate, at least until this devil is killed.' recalling the actions the devil did to him and his comrades
—--------------------
In a prepared house in the Karatachi Compound
Ritsu had just activated his identity ability onto the enemy shinobi looking at their loyalty.
Those that didn't have a high loyalty were necessary to his plan, while the test subject would be those that had close to undying loyalty to their clan.
Luckily for Ritsu there were four people who didn't have any loyalty for their clan.
Unluckily out of the four people three were from the Yua Clan and one from the Toru Clan, from the two Fuji Clan captive both had rather high loyalty to their clan.
Fortunately for him, one of them just started his life as a father.
'Oh man, well isn't this going to play out nicely.' grinned Ritsu at such a thought.
However, he needed all the enemy ninja to be awake, those who weren't awake received a coursing shock throughout their body as Ritsu gave a low amped shock.
Those who were just woken up from Ritsu's shock tried to free themselves from the rope that any ninja could get out of.
However too their surprise their strength seemed to be diminishing.
They then attempted to use their chakra to free themselves from their restraints, to their surprise they didn't have any chakra.
Any chakra generated by them was released into the environment.
Once they couldn't free themselves they took in their surroundings, no windows as it was border up, dirt floor, a table with tools possibly for torture, and low table with a lever to the side and a child,
In the end they could only look at the only person they thought to be their warden which only resulted in many surprised faces as the person was a child who looked to be four to six years old.
Yet the child in front of them showed such masterful use of lightning jutsu providing a shock enough to wake them up with no significant injuries other than pain.
The glistening pink eyes that would look between them going back and forth gave the Three Clan Alliance shinobi a feeling that they were being assessed as if they were an item or worse, as livestock.
They all looked at each other as if trying to convey messages with their eyes as their mouths were gagged with tied rope around their head holding the gag in place.
But just as they manage to clear their objective the boy in front of them smiled quite audibly.
"So many test subjects, I can't wait to cut them open. I wonder how long they can last if I peel their skin little by little."
The words that came out of the mouth of the young child weren't words someone of his age should be saying.
Before they knew it the boy casually grabbed a Yua Clan shinobi by the hair as he pulled them to the low table with a lever to the side of the table.
They watched as Ritsu struggled to somewhat put the man on the table.
They wondered if the boy was taught to say such words as an intimidation tactics from the Karatachi Clan.
However, once the shinobi was on the table the young boy made a seal and symbols came from the side of the table as they restrained the shinobi on the table preventing from moving a single muscle.
The boy then pulled the lever repeatedly which caused the table to reach a reasonable height to Ritsu's stature.
Getting started Ritsu cut open the man clothing leaving him in only in underwear.
Next Ritsu started to imprint seals on the hands as he wished to make storage seals possible on a human person, particularly on the hands.
But something went wrong as the hand he imprinted seals on started to shrivel up and crushing itself.
The test subject let out a muffled scream as his eyes went bloodshot through the extreme pain.
The other captives started to sweat as they realized they were being used as fuinjutsu test subjects, they all had one thought in common, 'I'd rather confess or get tortured.'
Without a look of disappointment Ritsu simply moved to the other arm of the test subject.
After repeated failures, the man was close to dying to the extreme pain, so Ritsu finally started his main project.
He carved slowly and carefully the test subjects chest which is near to the heart luckily he managed to successfully imprint the symbols.
However, he also needed to imprint more fuinjutsu onto his test subject, one towards the lower stomach where the chakra is stored and lastly one in the head giving access to the brain.
Ritsu managed to succeed on the dantian part however, when imprinting onto the head resulted in the man dying possibly due to not having enough strength to endure the process.
Unclear what the young man was trying to accomplish the men shuddered seeing that one of them were next.
Ritsu cleared the table by taking a storage scroll personally crafted by him, stuffing the dead body inside right before he turned to look for his next test subject.
He would examine the remains later as he needs to finish his main objective.
Demiurge would approve.
—---------------------
When Ritsu finally succeeded in placing all three seals of fuinjutsu on his sixth test subject, a clansman of the Yua clan.
He let out an exasperated smile.
He was starting to get afraid that he would have failed which meant Ritsu wouldn't be able to implement the plan he had in mind.
But now that he succeeded he could confidently work on those that were to be part of his plan.
Ritsu continued to imprint seals on the enemy shinobi one after the other until he finished imprinting all of them.
None died due to consequences or mistakes.
The enemy shinobi didn't feel any different than before being experimented on.
They thought the boy had failed but seeing the excitement the boy showed that he succeeded was what worried them because they didn't know what the boy had done to them.
They all struggled to free themselves as the Ritsu had just finished with the last remaining shinobi.
They weren't willing to stay and find out however, they were weakened the past four hours and they couldn't break out of their restraints.
After finishing with the last shinobi Ritsu formed a hand seal for water clone jutsu, having the clone operate on himself, making seals onto his dantian.
It took him an hour as he wanted to make sure there were no mistakes as Ritsu.
When he finished he started giggling in glee, right before outright laughing with a crazed look as he activated some hand seals to activate the seal on his dantian.
Just as they were all nervous the three clan alliance shinobi started to feel their heart tighten slowly beating then it would rapidly beat causing them to sweat.
Next their chakra flared, uncontrollably surging through their body relieving them of their weakened state.
Some of the Shinobi with no hesitation broke out of their restraints ready to use ninjutsu to kill Ritsu, but within seconds of their actions their head would start to hurt not responding to what they wished to do.
Sometimes a sharp pain would occur in the head.
Their vision and hearing would fluctuate causing them to see a blur before regaining their twenty twenty vision or even further allowing them to see grains in close detail.
As for their hearing, the grunts and screams would be exaggerated causing some to bleed from the ears, others would lose their hearing before regaining it back to standard hearing.
Some would gain the ability to listen to a nearby person's organs, such as the heart if they focused.
"Hiihiieheiheii" laughed Ritsu, seeing their struggle before calming himself,
"Just so you know I can activate this whenever I wish so if you don't want to suffer you have to listen to what I say.
The seals are engraved into your body, seeping within allow me to know your location."
Ritsu turned around planning to clean up the instruments he used, but as he turned around a Yua clan shinobi, with high loyalty to their clan, attacked Ritsu for naively turning his back on them.
He planned to cover his hand in chakra and penetrate through Ritsu's torso, however when he was seconds from doing so his chakra cut off, as he completely lost control of his body, slumping to the ground.
Ritsu turned around, "You know there's an automatic defense that whenever one who bears the seal feels the impulse, bloodlust, or evil the seal will lock away your chakra, and movement of your body."
"It also allows me to make your body think you have something like this."
Ritsu made an up motion with his right hand fingers that made the shinobi who attempted to kill Ritsu scream.
Ritsu made him hallucinate that bugs started to crawl out of the ground and crawl into his skin.
Seeing his reaction Ritsu gave him back his control over his body to which the shinobi stood up swatting at the ground scratching his skin causing it to bleed or open in some part trying to get something to come out or thats what it seemed to be the case to the other shinobi.
Some suspected that it was Genjutsu and tried to break him free of it but they realized their was no trace of chakra in his system.
Giving them a sense of horror as they watched their comrade scratch himself to death.
One shinobi attempted to hold him which promptly caused more to hold down their friend.
Riku who was in charge of the squad of shinobi stepped forward, "Please let him go, we'll listen to what you say" said Riku in hopes of saving his comrade's life.
Ritsu looked at Riku before smiling,
"There's no second chance at least not for those who don't have their freedom anymore. You guys are no longer shinobi of the Three Clan Alliance but rather dogs who are at my beck and call." paused Ritsu before continuing,
"But rather than being pets I'm looking for the smarter dog the one who can acknowledge me as their master, not for ones who would bite me at any chance they can get. Like this one" Ritsu finished as he looked at the shinobi being held by the other shinobi.
The shinobi being held stopped screaming for seconds be moving his eyes to his companions before crying tears of blood, in fact he was bleeding from the nose and ears.
The shinobi who were holding him down were afraid, they may be killers but they've never seen a situation like this, it was mostly killing someone with a weapon or a jutsu.
But just as they were beginning to regain their calm, the held down shinobi started to scream as a sizzling sound could be heard.
His stomach his started to cave in as it started to slowly disappear resulting in the shinobi to coughing and wheezing blood in massive quantities before dying.
The shinobi stood all shocked seeing the situation. They all turned to look at Ritsu but all they saw was a child smiling as if seeing something amazing causing their gut to drop.
"From now you guys belong to me, with the curse seal embedded into your body." 'Courtesy of Danzo.'
