Kapitel 24: The Death of a Bitch

Shikaku dragged me to the corner of the room and started talking to me with a very serious and suspecting tone "Who are you? You aren't my nephew, are you? What have you done to Voidne?".

I smirked replying with "I am the same person as always, but I have changed. You remember when I told you that I've been fighting death for 5 years, right?".

Shikaku looked at me skeptically and said "What is about it? A lot of ninja fight death in wars, but their personality don't change as much!".

I smiled at him and replied "It is easier to show you than to explain it to you". He looked at me strangely before his vision changed. His eyes dimmed, as if it wasn't seeing what is in front of him anymore. Inside his subconscious, he faced the avatar of death, a cruel existence terrifying even to those who fear not death.

His soul started struggling, trying its best to flee. In face of this horrible existence, all souls are bound to be shocked. Only those who have died before could try to resist the avatar of death! Once the avatar of death invades the mind of someone, their whole attention switches to their mind instead of managing their body, leaving them vulnerable for that period of time.

I didn't retract the avatar of death immediately, but used Shisui's ultimate skill on Shikaku. The best person to use Kotoamatsukami on would be Shikaku! He is the village's strategist and his position in the village isn't small. He is also very intelligent, and having an intelligent ally that will serve you subconsciously is excellent!

Kotoamatsukami is a skill that gives subconscious orders to the target, making them behave in a certain way without knowing that they are being controlled. I used the brief moment it activated to study it, because I believe if I have a good grasp in how it works, I could try to replicate it.

Using Kotoamatsukami, I soon had all my chakra depleted, the command I imprinted in Shikaku's mind was "Trust, believe and protect Voidne". Those commands are important, since all my words will be "truth" to Shikaku, and he is forced to protect and shield me from others. Not only he has a high position in the village, he is also the leader of the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance and the brain of the village!

I soon lose consciousness for the depletion of my chakra. My body is exhausted and it can not withstand the chakra usage of Kotoamatsukami.

Shikaku held me up as I was about to fall. He shouted to Inoichi and Choza to come as he noticed blood coming from my right eye, nose and mouth.

Inoichi shouted with worry and a tone of anger "What happened! How did he get hurt this badly?"

Shikaku replied with an apologetic tone "I thought he wasn't the real Voidne, but he used all of his remaining chakra to prove it to me. He has suffered more than us in those 5 years as he was fighting a creature as sinister as the tailed beast if it wasn't even more evil."

Inoichi soon grabbed Shikaku to hit him, but before he could do anything, Shikaku looked at Choza and said "Voidne's body grew a lot from yesterday! He must have been using his cell's lifespan in order to kill those 2 assassins. His body was weak to begin with, but now it is getting worse! Choza, could you please do me a favor and let Voidne learn the Akimichi techniques? His body is in a dire need for yang energy! Please! I swear I will pay back for it!"

Choza being the softest person and the most compassionate friend looked into Inoichi's and Shikaku's pleading eyes and sighed saying "I will allow it, but you guys have to pay me back for it, since I am taking this decision without consulting the elders!".

Both Inoichi and Shikaku bowed their head for their friend Choza Akimichi. Their gratitude was sincere.

Shikaku couldn't afford for another assassination to happen, so he stayed on a chair next to Voidne's sleeping body. He decided to guard him until he wakes up. Meanwhile Choza ordered some clansmen to bring the family technique scrolls to him.

Inoichi knew that with Shikaku guarding me, there was nothing to worry about, so he started heading toward the place he called "home". The place in which both his bitch of a wife and his stupid daughter live. He was very excited to tell them that I am awake.

Arriving at the doorsteps of the old looking house, he smelled the scent of blood. Inoichi's excitement soon turned into fears! He rushed inside to see his wife's throat slit, her body is full of scars! His daughter had her left arm chopped off, still bleeding as her body went pale from the blood loss.

Inoichi quickly fell into despair as he started begging his wife to be alive. He started hugging her dead body with grief. He then went to check on his daughter, noticing that she still have a pulse! He ripped apart his clothes and tied Ino's left arm to stop it from bleeding. He held her and dashed to the hospital with his fasted speed!

Among arriving at the hospital, the staffs quickly started doing their best to stabilize Ino's condition. She lost a lot of blood, and she needs blood transfer. Inoichi gave his own blood for his daughter, agreeing to be the source of the blood, the operation started. Inoichi knew that he needed to use Mind Body Disturbance Technique on Ino to know who did it, but to him right now; Ino's safety is more important than that! He swore to himself that he will get revenge on whoever did this to his wife and daughter.
