Kapitel 50: Awakening

How long has it been since I got here? After i lost counting all I could think of was the past. How I was born, how I lived with my parents, how slowly my path became covered in blood. Thinking about many things, including my plans for immortality, I stopped noticing the passage of time. Without the need to sleep and eat all I was doing was thinking. There was plenty of time and after thinking over my plans, I realized how idiot I was.

There were so many different possibilities, but I missed it! Slowly the hatred I felt disappeared and my mind became clear. Now I felt no emotion towards Itachi, Obito and others. Their death is a necessity and nothing more. I don't feel obsession anymore over this.

Time passed imperceptibly and immersed in thoughts with empty eyes absorbing light, I did not notice everything around began to darken and the entire illusory world began to disappear. Light broke through the bloody clouds and suddenly I found the rays of the sun blinding me.

With trembling hands, not believing that I got out, I narrowed my eyes looking around. Apparently it's been a minute or two since Itachi's genjutsu.

Although I understood this, I could not accept it because much more time had passed for me. My head began to ache and my arms went limp at my sides. Sitting on my knees with my head down, I wanted to raise my hands to use seal to get away, but neither the chakra nor the body obeyed me.

Closing my eyes, I discovered how pleasant it is to sink into oblivion.

...

Something pricked my hand and sharply opening my eyes I looked at a nurse in a hospital gown that when she saw me woke up, she suddenly froze, frightened. Moving away from the shock, she ran outside. Looking around quickly, I realized that the nurse was changing the dropper and after checking what was inside, I realized that I was being fed nutrients through the catheter and nothing more. Trying to get up, ignoring the dizziness, I looked around the room and tried to use the chakra to regenerate suddenly found that I could not use it. My back stung like a broken iron and, tearing off my shirt, I found a seal on my chest. Having examined it while there is time, I discovered that this is a basic seal that will take five hours to break. Finding a mirror on the bedside table, I looked into it, looking into my eyes and with a quiet sigh I realized that my eyes were with me.

And since the result I am in the hospital, like a prisoner, but my eyes are in place and they were not stolen.

Putting my shirt back on and realizing that I was wearing the same color pants, I examined the bedside table and found a hair tie. Having tied my black hair in a ponytail, I threw it over my shoulder and began to warm up in a way, controlling how much chakra from the loops goes through the channels and destroys the seal from the inside of my body. With each impulse of the chakra, the place where the seal was terribly tickled, but for my own good I decided to endure it.

Stretching out of the corner of my ear, I heard two people walking along the corridor.

Getting up after push-ups, feeling how it became better and the blood began to circulate normally and carry oxygen throughout the body, I stared at the door calmly with my arms folded.

Entering the ward, first looking at the bed, and then at me, unknown to me Jounin greeted coldly.

"Good morning Renjiro Uchiha. You are in the village of the hidden leaf and are in the custody

of the Hokage. I will ask you not to make any attempts to escape or harm yourself and others in any way. "

Standing near the wall and crossing his arms, he began to watch me.

The nurse who came after him, keeping her distance, asked me to nervously return to bed.

"Sorry if you could, go back to bed you haven't fully recovered yet."

"I don't need it, i feel good already. When can I speak to Tsunade? "

Suddenly, the nurse's forehead swelled and, having lost all fear, she asked to go to bed again.

"I am a doctor and I know that you are not okay. Your body literally almost ate itself up trying to provide resources for your brain. So go to bed and do not interfere with my work. "

Turning on her heels and apparently regretting her outburst, she flew out of the room.

Raising an eyebrow as if asking what was it, I got an answer from ninja in the form of a shrug.

Having decided to go to bed, and not letting my guard down, I continued to sharpen the bottom of the seal.

Fortunately, the jоunin that looked after me was not the Hyuga.

Thinking what to do, I decided to first find out what the village wants from me.

Twenty minutes later, another nurse pulled up a cart with delicious smelling food and new clothes. Eating fast food which was too little for me, I put on brown pants and a white T-shirt. It looked like the most ordinary clothes. And checking my hands looking at the scars stretching from the shoulders, I remembered how I got them in training. If i think about it, then in more than one battle to the death I have not received serious traum. All injuries and scars on the body were from training with eagles. Alas, they do not perfectly control their claws when catching or attacking ...

Cracking my neck, I called the ninja that was waiting outside the door when I changed clothes.

"Can you take you to the Hokage now?" - nodding to me in response, he led, without lowering his vigilance from the hospital.

In one of the corridors, I met a nurse with papers, whom I saw upon awakening and decided to thank her.

"I apologize if I somehow made you angry. Thanks for taking care of me while I was unconscious. What would I do without you. " - Smiling sweetly at the reddened nurse, I went further after Jounin.

Deciding to start a conversation on the way, I started asking him.

"What is your name?"

"..."

"Come on, it's like a fish has taken water." - I sulked and pretended to be offended.

Walking the streets side by side towards the Hokage Tower, I asked the question again.

"And how long was I unconscious?"

"Three weeks."

"What!?"

Stopping in shock, I realized I wasted so much time. Three weeks may not be a lot, but according to the original, Obito declares war in two years when Naruto returns from training with Jiraiya. However, again I messed up the whole plot and I don't know what to expect.

"I'll take it from here." - waving his free hand while the second was in his pocket, Kakashi came up to us.

"Hai." - using the shunshin ninja that accompanied me immediately left. On reflection, I realized that perhaps it was one of the ANBU. He was too stereotyped.

"Haven't seen you Kakashi for a long time." - chuckling looking at Kakashi walking in my direction, who was looking at me as if pondering something.

"Really. The Hokage is waiting for you, she already knows that you are awake. "

With a nod, I raised my finger to stop him.

"I would love to talk to her, but the most important thing first. Kakashi do you have money? " - looking at the surprised Kakashi, I continued.

"This village has something for which I am now ready to go to the other side of the Hokage Tower. Even if I have to step over your body. But you can just give it to me. " - lowering my gaze showing sharp eyes like a predator looking at Kakashi, I noticed how a space was formed around us and people were anxiously moving away.

Kakashi frowned back.

"Have you shown your face at last? And what is it for which you are ready to go into a lose situation? "

"Ramen. I want to eat well. I haven't eaten in two years !!! " - remembering how I missed this divine taste. I clenched my fists and rolled my eyes.

Sighing and placing his hand on his face, Kakashi relaxed.

"Good. All the same, I will not pay. I know one restaurant, you can have a snack there. But no tricks. "

"OK." - nodding, I calmly followed him along such familiar roads that have not changed at all. As I expected, he took me to Ramen Ichiraku. A small restaurant which luckily was open.

Going inside, pushing aside the rags with the letters, I sat down on a chair. Kakashi chose a chair nearby in case I will do something.

"Listen, Kakashi, who pays if not you?" I suddenly asked.

Kakashi answered with a shrug.

"The Hokage has allocated funds for your maintenance, and I am responsible. According to the forecasts, you should have been in bed for a month, if not more. "

"I lay there for almost a month." - I nodded and turned towards Teuchi.

"Hello Teuchi! So much time has passed and you have not aged a day! "

"Ahahaha! Thanks for the compliment! What will you order? "

"Five cups of the hottest ramen you have."

"Good!" - turning his head to the side of Kakashi, he waited for his order.

"One cup as usual." - and having heard orders Teuchi immediately set to work.

"What do you mean by two years?" Kakashi turned to me and asked.

Propping my cheek, I decided not to speak.

"Right now, I'd rather watch ramen cooked and enjoy the smells of the kitchen than talk. About business. I'm sure you and Tsunade have a lot of questions. "

Nodding realizing what I meant, Kakashi stopped asking and stared at Teuchi's work.

In truth, being hungry for ramen isn't the only reason I was stalling for time. I needed as long as possible to break the seal on my chest. The tickling only increased, but I could well contain and ignore.

Finally, after about 15 minutes, Teuchi served us the plates.

We enjoyed our meal in complete silence and soon I finished my last plate. After swallowing the last piece of meat, I exhaled a cloud of steam.

Someone will say that a girl and a guy are two halves that together form one whole.

But for me food is a soul mate and together we are one. Standing up, I thanked Teuchi and, looking at how Kakashi paid, went to the side of the Hokage tower, rebuilt for the third time. She looked more reliable this time. Than the past two are made of cardboard.

Proceeding to the second floor, Kakashi knocked and entered. There were already three people inside.

Tsunade saw us put down the pencil she was twirling and folded her hands. The new adviser from the daimyo, who looked intimidated, twitched but continued to sit against the wall on a chair. Not far from him sat a man with long hair tied back in a jounin's shape. At first glance, I recognized a member of the Nara clan.

Sitting down on the nearest new sofa, appreciating its comfort. I looked at Tsunade and judging the situation, I realized that Kakashi remained at the door.

Crossing my legs, I folded my hands into the lock and put them.

Leaning back on the back of the couch, I decided to start first.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" - looking straight into her eyes without a shadow of embarrassment, I asked a question.

"We have a lot of topics for conversation. But I think there is something that worried me the most. Did you send the brown folder for the papers? " She replied.

"If you mean that shit, then yes, it was me. Where I got it from is not so important. I hope you found it useful to know better than your favorite teacher. "

Tsunade frowned and said nothing.

"This seal is chakra blocking. What are you going to do with me? " - I asked an important question. It depends on her answer whether I will be kind to them or not.

"This seal is a precaution in case you decide to destroy the building again. You are not a war criminal now, and your reward has been removed from the Bingo book. But somehow you grew up in the village, and we expect you to stay there. "

With a shrug, I yawned demonstratively to show that I was bored.

"Now we will give you an apartment and you will temporarily live as a civilian without a chakra. You will be prohibited from leaving the village until we fully understand your case. "

Watching her, I realized that she was saying all this in all seriousness, and thinking, I realized that as soon as I remove the seal, I would immediately leave the village. There were too many things waiting for me and I didn't want to spend on this nonsense.

"Also, we are intimidated by your hunt for tailed beasts. I can't help but ask the question why you hunted them. However, unlike you that took the two-tailed chakra and released the jinchuriki, the Akatsuki killed the one-tailed jinchuriki Garu and took the beast. But you still pose a threat. And so, why do you need tailed ones? "

Examining my nails and how black blood began to clog under them, I wondered if it was worth painting my nails. Also, the news of Gara's death surprised me. This was not what I expected.

"Why? they are no longer important to me. I will henceforth refuse to hunt jinchūriki and tailed beasts. Believe me, the tailed beasts can now sleep peacefully. " I smiled, looking up.

"It's hard to believe, but you didnt answer. Well, let it be your way. "

Tsunade still wanted to say something, but Shikaku stood up and decided to explain some things and ask a question.

"According to the information I have, you attacked the Eight-Tails and won the battle. But after that you faced your brother Itachi Uchiha and lost. Is it so?" - looking at me with a sharp look, he asked a question.

Clenching my fist and unclenching, I thought how I feel after defeat. But two years have given me much fruit of reflection.

"I really lost. One small mistake and a drop of self-confidence, and I fell into genjutsu from which it is impossible for me to get out. Perhaps a couple of seconds passed, maybe a couple of minutes. But the time that passed for me was several years. When you sit crucified, unable to move and sleep ... But I think Kakashi has already experienced it wrong? "

Despite Kakashi being silent, I guessed that he nodded.

"Now it is clear. Indeed, his eyes are quite dangerous. Is there anything else of his abilities that we do not know? "

Thinking, I remembered all his weaknesses that I had learned in a past life and his strengths, but decided not to tell them all this.

"Well, if you don't know, then someday you will. However, I was pretty sure I passed out on the border of the Hidden Cloud Village, no? How did I end up in the leaf village? "

Shikaku sat back down and looked at Tsunade.

"The village used you as a political tool to seek help from us. We agreed because Akatsuki will eventually come to us as we have nine-tails. "

Raising an eyebrow, I didn't understand.

"Wait a minute. Kumogakure is directly subordinate to the Lightning Country Daime. Why would it suddenly go on the territory of the country of fire? I don't know much, but usually hidden villages don't merge. "

With a sigh, Tsunade explained, "Daime is dead. An uprising took place in the country, as if they were preparing for this in advance. The country is under military regime, and the village has been disbanded. Now the country is in chaos because of the jinchuriki, the village appealed to us as the nearest village. "

Trying to get as much information from me as possible, Tsunade tried to intimidate me, but realizing that nothing could be gained from me, she changed her tactics. By pouring a fountain of water over her and constantly driving the conversation in the wrong direction, I drove Tsunade crazy. I have already seen how she began to rage and want to break her table and my face.

After several hours of conversation, Tsunade finally broke down and smashed her table. There was a crash, but the table did not fall apart. Ah, the turn of the face will soon come.

"Oh, this is a tree specially grown for ninjas so that the table doesn't break. Must be expensive. Although I heard you have gigantic debts for your games, so I think it's not the first time to lose. " - shrugging my shoulders, I continued to examine the nails.

"I suppose it's too late now, we can talk tomorrow. We thank you for the information provided. " - thanked Shikaku. - "They will also take you to your new apartment now, food and money will be there. We hope for your understanding. "

With a nod, I got up and stretched myself out, ignoring the panting Tsunade. With a pretty smile, I realized how good it is to get arrogant people out of themselves.

The ninja on the way out nodded to me and led me out. After about 10 minutes I was brought to a high-rise building and, having given me the keys, the ninja left as a normal person.

Near the railing, I noticed a man standing with a typical face.

Taking the keys, I noticed a number on them and when I went to the door with the same I noticed two locks when there was one key on the bunch. On thought, I realized that one key goes to both locks. Starting from the top, I began to open the locks.

"Oh, are you my neighbor? Strangely, the apartment has been empty for many months and I have not heard from the owner of the building about new tenants. " - screwing up his eyes, a man in simple clothes began to question me rudely. Smiling predatory, I turned towards him.

"Haha it happens. The Hokage put me here. By the way, I am a surviving member of the Uchiha clan. I'm also a hired killer and know how to torture people. Especially overly curious. " - Smiling, I narrowed my eyes. Swallowing, the man laughed foolishly, sweating.

"Ha ha ha good joke." - he waved his hand, but in response I remained silent, continuing to look at him.

"..."

"You j-jocking right?"

"..."

"A-alright I will go to my apartment. Good night." - having run into the apartment, he began to lock himself with all the locks that he could. Having grinned, I went into mine and after checking the surroundings and breathing in the stale air of the apartment, I dispersed the chakra in loops. From scratching at the place of the seal, everything suddenly turned into pain, threatening to break the chakra channels, but since the seal was damaged, the chakra only erased the remnants of the seal, and I was finally free. Sighing and biting my finger, in a split second, I created a series of seals right in the hallway and hit the floor. Since little chakra was used, Asami appeared in the shape of a sparrow and with my finger to my lips, I pointed to my shoulder. Jumping up, she began to wait for any sign, but after walking down the corridor I went into the kitchen and closed the curtains.

Taking out the fruits, I checked them and had a bite, quickly offering a couple of Asami who ate quite quickly, after food, tilting her head Asami as if asked why we were silent.

Shaking my head, I made a conventional sign and throwing a strange look at me, Asami threw a fruit and jumped on my head. As if swirls appeared around us and chakra was released. Smiling, I felt several ninja rushing from the next roof here, but they were too late, and we were already almost on the mountain.

Tsunade POV

"All he said to me was a bunch of shit! He clearly knows more, but why does it seem to me that he interrogated me and not the opposite? " - groaning Tsunade rested her cheek.

"He probably didn't like his conditions of detention. I don't think that being constrained he will want to cooperate with us. Also, he is such a type of people that they do not tolerate being commanded, and considering that even as a child he did not receive the necessary training .. "

"Yes, yes, I don't care what he likes there!" Tsunade protested with a banging fist.

Sighing, rubbing the temples Shikaku whose forehead was written "What a problematic shit" he decided to remain silent.

"Tomorrow I won't be kidding with him. He knows something about Akatsuki and I will take him out even if I need to send him to Yamanaka. He beat their two members playfully, judging by the words of Yugito! " - Deciding Tsunade nodded to herself.

Suddenly, two shadows gracefully descended from the ceiling and, pushing off the walls, jumped to Tsunade's table. But she was not so much frightened, but only frowned as these two were on watch at that time watching Renjiro.

"Hokage-sama, Renjiro Uchiha ... he disappeared." - Saying nervously, the first ANBU in a black coat bowed his head while standing on his knee.

"HE WHAT !?"

The table could not stand another blow of Tsunade and finally disintegrated.

"We felt a surge of chakra, but when we burst through the window, no one was inside. We searched everything both inside and outside. Our theory is that he used a summoning technique and left with the beast after eating some fruit. On the floor at the entrance, a bloodstain from a summon technique was found, and in the kitchen, half-eaten fruit. On one of the fruits there was a footprint like a bird pecking, rather small, about 10 centimeters. "

"Well, I suppose there will be no conversation tomorrow, we will be dealing with what we have. However, this proves that the bird is his contract beast and Renjiro did give us the documents. The only question is when could he leave, from the very beginning? If so why let us control it. " - Shikaku said wearily while analyzing the conversation with Renjiro.

"Perhaps he felt a duty for saving him." - after scratching his cheek, Kakashi decided to express his version. "He also asked me to buy ramen on the way and ate five cups. During all this time, he did not try to attack me or run away and behaved quite peacefully. "

Looking at the place where the ANBU were, Tsunade thought, but her thoughts only got confused and she sighed, standing up.

"Let them keep looking. If they don't find it in the morning, forget it. After all, he will come back. We have his sword and scrolls with unique seals. This must be valuable for him. I wonder if he really meant that he is not going to hunt anymore for power."
