20% Naruto: Mixed Heritage(Rewrite) / Chapter 59: Paradox

Kapitel 59: Paradox

S-rank ninjas stood at the pinnacle of strength and skill within the shinobi world. Beyond the raw power they wield, these elite shinobis are considered strategic assets, often serving as a deterrence to potential threats to a nation or a shinobi village to be specific.

Second only to the immense power of tailed beasts, S-rank ninjas possess capabilities that can tip the scales in favour of their villages during times of conflict.

Their skills and prowess make them Kage-level, and any one of them is deemed suitable to ascend to the position of village leader.

That was why Riku was surprised to see Kaya Kamizuru here. He was widely known as one of the few S-rank Shinobi from Iwagakure in the Ninja Data Book.

Just like the first Tsuchakage, who also originated from the Kamizuru clan, Kaya was very adept in his clan's jutsu, and the versatility he wielded the jutsus put him in a league of his own.

However, Kaya himself felt the weight of the mission bearing down on his shoulders, he couldn't shake the anxiety that gnawed at the edges of his composure.

In as much as he appeared nonchalant on the outside, the situation was quite the opposite on the inside.

The delicate balance of power between two of the major nations hung in the balance, and the success or failure of their mission would echo far beyond the immediate objectives.

His main objective was to ensure that the land of Hot Water and Wheat did not enter into any kind of treaty.

This was because any type of collaboration between the two would spell disaster for Iwagakure and the Land of Earth as a whole.

The land of wheat was one of the nations neighbouring the Land of Earth, where Iwagakure was located, on the south.

If the two minor nations collaborated, then Konoha, which was a huge backer behind the land of Hot water, would use that as a way to move forces to attack Iwagakure.

Onoki had carefully outlined the gravity of the situation to Kaya, emphasizing that any advantage gained by Konoha in these negotiations could tip the scales unfavourably for Iwagakure in the shadow of an imminent conflict.

This was a potential opening he could not afford to leave to Hiruzen.

In the realm of shinobi politics, the prospect of peace was often a fleeting illusion, a momentary respite between the storms of war.

All Kages, shaped by the harsh realities of their world, understood that preparing for the next conflict was not a matter of choice but a strategic necessity.

Peaceful times provided the opportunity to strengthen one's military might, forge alliances, and gather intelligence—all in anticipation of the inevitable clashes that defined the shinobi landscape.

The seemingly paradoxical nature of preparing for war during times of peace was the harsh reality of their existence.

Shinobi, like tools, only served to push the various agendas of their feudal lords as well as other powers.

Kaya grew increasingly frustrated with all that was happening. This was only supposed to be a quick in-and-out assassination mission, but it had now transformed into a chaotic spectacle.

"Deal with the delegation swiftly. I'll handle them," Kaya commanded, his tone unyielding and focused. His subordinates nodded in acknowledgement and moved with determined purpose toward the negotiation hall, leaving Kaya to confront the formidable Konoha jounins.

Sando, Riku, and Goya met Kaya's gaze with unwavering determination, understanding that the success of their mission hinged on thwarting the Iwa shinobi leader.

Kaya took a step forward, his expression a mix of resolve and disdain. "Konoha shinobi meddling in affairs beyond their borders. A mistake you won't live to regret," he declared.

Riku, calm despite the brewing storm, responded, "Isn't that what you are also doing? Why don't we end this charade and get to the best part."

"True, but this is as far as you go," Kaya declared, his voice cutting through like a blade.

"We'll see about that."

=====

Back at the city grounds, Renjiro and Anzai had long realized that attempting to vanquish the relentless swarm head-on was futile.

Instead, they shifted their focus to protecting the civilians and guiding them away from the imminent danger.

Working in tandem, Renjiro and Anzai utilized their respective abilities to direct the swarm away from the panicked crowd.

Since containment was essential, Renjiro and Anzai decided to regroup with the other Genins.

With their immediate objective being the safety of the civilians, the two shinobi raced towards the other genins who were tasked with patrolling the city.

Renjiro and Anzai swiftly moved toward the concentrated source of the buzzing swarm, guided by their keen senses.

As they approached, it became evident that the other genins had also discerned the strategic importance of the location, creating a makeshift group to counter the insect onslaught.

Despite the chaos surrounding them, forming a formidable line against the relentless insect onslaught was important.

In between the fights, Hiro's curiosity was piqued, causing him to direct a question to Anzai,

"Is this some rogue Aburame causing all of this chaos?" He was, trying to make sense of the situation.

Fukai chimed in, "These are bees, not the usual insects used by the Aburame clan. It's something else entirely."

Anzai, processing the unfolding events, shared her knowledge with the group, "This isn't the work of any Aburame clan member. The only other clan known for manipulating insects like this is the Kamizuru clan from Iwa. Their affinity for controlling bees is infamous."

The genins exchanged glances, realizing the gravity of the situation. Aiko added, "So, we're dealing with a person from the Kamizuru clan?"

'Iwa? Why are they moving against Konoha?' Renjiro wondered. He was not interested in the political ins and outs of the shinobi world, but even someone like him could figure out that something like this could potentially have dangerous consequences.

Fukai, sensing the tension, suggested, "Let's focus on containing the swarm and ensuring the safety of the civilians. We can worry about the Kamizuru later. Right now, this should be our priority."

'Then again, they could always claim that the Kamizuru shinobi was rogue to keep their hands clean of this mess they are causing.'

Anzai asserted, "To effectively deal with the bees, we need to find the user and confront them directly. The Aburame and Kamizuru clans have been rivals for as long as we can remember, so of course, we have come up with ways to counter them."

"True. But since our Senseis have not come to help, that could only mean one of two things. First, they think that we are able to handle this hence they need to safeguard the delegation.

Two, they might be engaging the Kamizuru Shinobi. Most likely, it is the latter since none of us have encountered them after the attack started." Nakao Nara finally contributed.

She had been silent ever since the Genins regrouped. She took her time to analyze the situations from different perspectives. Once she concluded her analysis she shared it with the group.

"But that would mean that the enemy is a jounin at the very least. If they are, then the best we could do is just keep the civilians from harm and hope our Senseis handle this matter." Catching up on what Nakao said, Chou Akimichi added.

'This is going to be tough,' Renjiro surmised.

Kapitel 60: Hive

Sando swiftly initiated the assault, his hands forming the rat seal with practised precision.

"Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu!" he exclaimed, the words resonating through the air. The atmosphere around Kaya seemed to ripple briefly as the genjutsu took effect.

The technique unfolded like a sinister dance, a circle of leaves spinning and enveloping Kaya before gently falling away.

From an outsider's perspective, the world appeared unchanged, but within the confines of the genjutsu, a nightmarish vision awaited.

The genjutsu used, Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique, was a D rank genjutsu that caused its target to see a horrifying vision.

The user would use the rat hand seal to cause a circle of leaves to spin and envelop the target and then fall away. Once cast, the world will appear normal to the target until they see the illusion.

It was a trivial genjutsu barely useful in hurting opponents. The only reason Sando decided to use it with the Jounins having no issues was because they knew that this trivial genjutsu was a powerful weapon when used by Kurama Sando.

Sando's proficiency in genjutsu wasn't merely a product of his training; it was in his blood as a member of the esteemed Kurama clan.

The Kurama clan was renowned for their mastery of genjutsu and had produced several exceptional shinobi throughout history. What made them one of Konoha's most dangerous clans, was their Kekkei Genkai.

Their Kekkei Genkai entailed enabling the clan members with the ability to have a genjutsu so powerful that it causes the brain of the target to believe anything that happens to the victim to the point where the genjutsu physically harms the victim's body in the same manner they envisioned.

However, while the Kekkei Genkai was great, its drawbacks were equally impactful.

The users were equally rarely able to control the full extent of their abilities, resulting in their subconscious regulating that power, leading to the creation of a second personality in control of that power.

That was why Sando always used E-ranked and below genjutsus to incapacitate his targets.

With Sando being one the few members of his clan with this Kekkei Genkai, he quickly one of the best genjutsu experts in the village.

Yet, to the surprise of the Konoha trio, Kaya stood resolute, unaffected by the genjutsu's intended horrors. His eyes betrayed no sign of distress as he calmly observed the environment.

"Is this pesky mirage what you call a genjutsu?"

Kaya asked as he caught something behind him. Sando quickly came into view on Kaya's hold.

"Let me show you the real deal."

In response to Kaya's contemptuous remark, Sando felt the sting of the unknown substance as it struck his face.

The viscous material clung to his face. However, before he could fully comprehend the situation, Kaya retaliated with a swift and unexpected manoeuvre.

With a sudden surge of chakra, Kaya deftly wove a genjutsu of his own, ensnaring Sando's senses in it. The world around Sando was twisted and distorted. As the genjutsu took hold, the environment became a surreal landscape.

Caught within the genjutsu, Sando struggled to discern reality from fiction. The disorienting effects of the genjutsu made him vulnerable, and in that moment of vulnerability, swift as a shadow, Kaya drove a kunai into Sando's midriff.

The sudden pain and the shock of the unexpected attack jarred Sando's relieving him from the Genjutsu. However, he left one world of pain only to enter another one. He grunted, feeling the cold metal pierce his flesh.

As Sando executed the rat hand seal to cast the genjutsu, the swarm of bees Kaya had released to the environment responded to the disturbance of Sando's chakra. Swift as a reflex, Kaya's connection with the Hive allowed him to interpret their signals.

With efficiency, Kaya disrupted his chakra flow, creating interference that negated the genjutsu's intended effect. Instead, Kaya seized the opportunity to turn the tide.

With Sando unsuspecting, Kaya launched a surprise attack, spitting forth an unknown substance on his face. The liquid was his Hive's very own Mead.

The liquid dulled Sando's senses making it easy for Kaya to use the pheromones released by the hive to entrap Sando in a genjutsu before stabbing him with a Kunai.

It was unfortunate as Sando had gone down on the very sword he used to shine. Meanwhile, Riku and Giya were both surprised to see this.

'What the hell happened? It was a sure bet that he would fall into Sando's Genjutsu. He is an S-ranked Ninja, I should not have expected things to be that easy.'

Goya tried to process the situation while preparing herself for the inevitable clash. With Sando out of commission, it would be hard dealing with the beekeeper.

With a nod, Goya and Riku moved to orchestrate a symphony of destruction, each jutsu harmonizing with the other to create a relentless barrage.

Goya employed fire release jutsu such as Searing Migraine, while Riku employed wind jutsus like the great breakthrough jutsu to amplify Goya's attacks.

Kaya, recognizing the overwhelming power arrayed against him, summoned his swarm of bees as a protective shield. The insects, an extension of his will, buzzed around him like a living fortress, intercepting the fiery tempest and shielding him from the earthen onslaught.

However, even the Kamizuru leader couldn't deny the sheer force of the combined attacks. The bees valiantly withstood the assault, yet the strain was evident.

As the battle unfolded, Kaya's strategic mind sought an avenue of escape from the relentless assault. His nimble movements allowed him to evade the more devastating blows, but the sustained pressure.

'They are coming on strong. I need to change the flow of the battle.'

Yes, he was an S-ranked Ninja, but all that stemmed from the fact that his bees were very versatile. Against a vicious onslaught from the two Konoha jounins, he was in a tight spot.

"Beeswax Clone!"

Drawing his chakra, Kaya crafted a clone from beeswax.

The clone joined its creator on the battlefield. Now bolstered by this ally, Kaya seized the opportunity to turn the tide. The duo launched a barrage of coordinated counterattacks.

Goya and Riku, momentarily caught off guard by the sudden shift in the battle, found themselves forced into a defensive position.

Unfortunately for Kaya, the temporary respite provided by his clone was short-lived. Goya, unleashed a scorching fire jutsu, targetting the clone, engulfing it in flames that... well melted it.

As the fiery demise of his clone unfolded, Kaya's attention wavered for a moment.

Seizing the opportunity, Riku exploited the opening. With a sequence of hand seals, the very earth beneath Kaya's feet responded to the jounin's command.

"Doton Kekkai: Dorodomu!"(Dungeon Chamber of Nothingness)

The jutsu manifested as a formidable prison around Kaya. A self-repairing dome encased the Iwa Shinobi, leaving him confined within a chamber of unyielding earth.

Inside the dome, Kaya found himself in an inescapable embrace of the earth. Attempts to break free were met with the unyielding resistance of the barrier.

The relentless attacks from the Konoha jounins had culminated in a moment of tactical brilliance, trapping the Iwa shinobi within the confines of a dome.

"Why are they so stubborn? I guess I have to use that. Although it's chakra Intensive, It's my only option." With resolve, Kaya decided to use his trump card.

With a tremor, Kaya shattered the earth dome, emerging clad in some sort of armour.

Observing Kaya's resurgence, Riku turned to Goya.

"Goya, ensure the safety of the delegation. I'll hold him off."

"Riku, it's been hard taking him on with just the two of us-"

"We don't have any other option Goya," Riku interrupted

Goya, understanding the urgency of the situation, nodded affirmatively.

Riku prepared to face Kaya head-on. Meanwhile, Goya hastened towards the delegation hall.

Upon entering the delegation hall, Goya surveyed the scene to ensure the safety of the Land of Wheat and Hot Water representatives.

"What are they doing here?" Goya wondered as she could not believe what she was seeing.

Back to Riku and Kaya's clash, both shinobis were on the verge of collapsing. Kaya's chakra reserves were nearly depleted, and the strain of maintaining his armour was taking a toll.

On the other side, Riku, despite having larger reserves, suffered from injuries inflicted by Kaya during their confrontation.

Kaya's Armour was a result of using his Hive's exoskeleton. His bees were a variant that evolved from cross-breeding bees and bikochu insects.

They had stung Kaya and used their exoskeleton to form the armour covering Kaya. The armour increased his overall physical capabilities beyond what chakra normally could do.

With one of them with great physical capabilities and other with a greater chakra reserve forced the battle to turn to one of attrition. Riku was taking the brunt of Kaya's attack while Kaya was taking a hit on his reserves.

In the midst of the struggle, Riku managed to deliver the final blow to Kaya, forcing him to collapse under the weight of chakra exhaustion. As Kaya fell, Riku faced the same fate as he too, gave in to his injuries.

As Riku collapsed, a mysterious figure emerged. The silhouette stepped forward. The stranger approached Riku's unconscious form.
