Capítulo 43: The Fire (Part 5)
Kaname watched her clone take the flight to the back of the nearest column, a moment later her replica left the cover and headed to Daimyo's second son.
Before she was able to speak with Daimyo's son, Kana-1 was stopped by a squared-faced man with a Sharingan-like black tattoo on his shoulder, he had a square-shaped mean face, above his brows two red oval dots were painted.
"Where are you going? You shouldn't leave your-"
"As you can see I'm just a clone, I'm here to try to cure the poison that your client just drank"
"Testers are still alive, leave now" he replied.
"Do you believe civilian poison testers, or me the best medic in the chamber?"
"*Growl* I knew this bitch was trouble, but this buffoon insisted. I will watch your every move, don't try anything"
"I will need to use a jutsu to understand which poison he took, I can't use one in the open before the eyes of an entire chamber full of people, you know it's death penalty" Kana-1 walked closer to the happy couple.
"Oh, hello little ninja-chan, or like people seem to call you today Hidden Angel-chan, Fufufu," laughed the overgrown bat.
"Hello, venerable son, hello to you too lady" Kana-1 received only a fake smile in response.
"What brought you here, shouldn't you be with my broth…eh?"
"I'm just a simple clone, your brother wants to speak with you in private, can you spare a minute for him?"
"The man that shits rainbows and hope wants to talk with me? Sorry, I don't have the time for him" he replied sarcastically.
"*Sigh* Let's try it another way, you got poisoned. I need to get you away from the guest's eyes and try to save your life. Better now venerable son?"
"Uchiha-sama, don't," the woman pleaded.
"You?! How dare you bitch?" he raised his hand to strike the woman.
"Let's not make scenes" the clone caught his open palm, "So which poison it was, lady?"
"This man is detrimental to the plans, understand that he needs to disappear"
"I don't care. Which poison? Whatever, I will deal with it myself, in exchange show me your beautiful tongue with a tattoo, I need some proofs of your master treason" The woman just smiled, stood up and left them alone.
"What now Kaname-san?" he asked.
"Now it's -san… Go to your brother's spot, my original body will help you. I don't want too many people to notice we use clones in here. Come without your bodyguard, we don't want to draw attention. I will go hide somewhere and disperse"
Kaname saw her clone standing up and leaving for the nearest column. Soon she received memory of their conversation, the man stood up and argued for a couple of seconds with his bodyguard, when the square-faced men grudgingly nodded with his head, Daimyo's son headed her way.
"Raion-sama, your brother is on his way here, he will sit here for a moment with me while I diagnose and cure his poisoning" she whispered.
"I understand, thank you"
"Hello again, please sit here, venerable son" Kaname greeted him.
She began to release her chakra in small doses to find any wrong substance in his body. Kaname didn't find any traces of arsenic, hemlock or aconite, those would be easy to find, she started to look for more ingenious poisons, from thallium to botulinum without any success, than Kaname noticed something tiny flowing through the veins, hundreds of small silver droplets.
'Dimethylmercury? Nice one old cockroach, he would die maybe in ten months, with the people none the wiser'
"Mito-chan, can you give me a cup of water in a glass?" Kaname asked, "Clench your teeth, it's going to hurt" she warned the man.
She created a small incision on two sides of his neck, brought her hands near the cup of water and using chakra, she made the water stick to her left hand.
"Ready?" she received a nod in response, "Don't swallow"
She brought her hands near his neck and pushed the water bubble into the wound. With a jolt of pain water came from the other side of the neck to her other hand, but this time in the middle of it one could see a silver blob of a beautiful substance. She dropped the water with a substance into the glass cup.
(AN: Naruto ch. 253 :-P)
"Cool…" whispered the little girl.
"Mito-chan, I need two more cups of water"
"But…"
"Get more glass cups from your neighbors"
"Okay!"
After strenuous fifteen minutes, Kaname was pulling out the last trace of mercury from his neck. In the back of the mind, she noticed that every guard with the black triple tomoe tattoo was slowly moving closer and closer.
'What now?!' she thought.
"I think you will be alright, throw the cups away and for gods's sake don't drink from them"
"Phew, thanks Kaname-san. But I have better plans…" he caught little Mito's hand and drew her close to him, putting a knife near her throat.
With the corner of her eye, Kaname noticed one of the bodyguards trying to activate the nonexisting seal while shouting "<Kabe no Yami>!" (Wall of Darkness)
"You son of a bitch?! What are you doing to my daughter?!" Raion yelled at him.
"Shut up! Now that we have some privacy, I want you to kill my brother little ninja-chan. And don't look at me with your eyes, I heard from Orochimaru-sama what you can do with them. One wrong move and this brat loses her head!"
"Onee-chan?" Mito didn't understand what's happening.
"*Sigh* So we had two puppets in play, that's why there were two bounties, I fucked up. Hmm...are you sure we're isolated? The barrier didn't work, I made sure of that, why do you think you hear the sounds of fighting coming from your back you imbecile? Turn around." Kaname asked with her head down.
"Fuck! Because of you, Orochimaru-sama had to change his plans, my brother was to be dead yesterday! Do not rise your head if you want this kid alive. Kill my brother now!" he yelled.
"Hahaha, do you think I need my eyes to take care of someone as stupid as you?" Within her detection seals, Kaname felt the tattooed bodyguards killing all chakra signatures in the chamber. The exit was blocked by two ninjas killing every civilian that got close, she had to hurry.
"NOW!" he yelled at her.
"Silence, you don't want to do it, she is your little niece..." Kaname replied in a calm almost singing voice, a second later she confidently raised her head and looked him right in the eyes.
"Why? Why can't I move my hand?!" he shouted only for his arm to get broken into pieces, with a swift kick to his head he was knocked out.
"I'm sorry Mito-chan, go to your mommy now" Kaname replied, her red eyes showing the lily flower design.
"Raion-sama, stay here. <Shishienjin>" (Four Violet Flames Formation - the same technique the Sound Four used in Konoha invasion arc)
"Go, show me what have you got" he answered while a red box sealed him and his family. Kaname moved in front of him, taking a big breath of air she shouted out.
--------------------------------------------------------------
(POV Change)
My name is Hagane Tadakatsu, I am one of the best blacksmiths in Iron Country. I was asked by Mifune-sama to represent the country on the Fire Daimyo's son's party. When the main actor entered the chamber I noticed a young black-haired teen hiding in his shadow, she looked more cute than deadly, oh how wrong I was.
The party proceeded normally with guests promising each other riches, nothing really important was happening, at least until from the main table stood the younger brother of today's celebrant. He made her way to the white-dressed cute girl and sat there, they were hidden by the burly body of the future Daimyo.
I noticed a group of thirty or so men pushing through the guests trying to get as close as possible to the main table. I heard two shouts one after the other, one of the men with tattoos used some hand seals and shouted: "<Kabe no Yami>!", a second later from the main table came another shout that brought the eyes of the entire chamber "You son of a bitch?! What are you doing to my daughter?!". I saw the younger brother holding a child hostage with a blade pointed at her neck, he stood two lengths of the longsword from the teen dressed in white.
While the used jutsu of one of the bodyguards didn't work, they soon became mobed by angry security personnel of the party guests, with a nod of the head of the man with a square-shaped face the massacre started. Then all hell broke loose.
I saw the tattoos on their shoulder firstly bright up, then swiftly encompass their entire body. Soon in place of twenty ninjas, stood twenty brown-faced demon-shaped creatures that tore limbs and heads from anyone that got too close to them. The chamber got into a panic, civilians tried to run away, but their exit was blocked by two more demons clawing through anyone stupid enough to try to run around them. Looking behind my back I noticed a red barrier rising around the main table.
"LET'S DANCE!" I heard a woman's voice shouting behind my back.
Against all my instincts I made my way away from the exit, then I saw an amazing view. A single black-haired teen in a white dress standing before the barrier, in front of her battle-ready were eighteen demon creatures. A perfect image of Samurai defending his lord.
"<Chō Mōdo>!" teen's angelic voice sounded out. From behind her back grew two massive red butterfly wings, her shoulder-length hair was delicately waving in the non-existent wind, then she disappeared from my sight. I can say she was too fast for a civilians eye to see, fortunately, she was too fast from her enemies as well, because a second later she beheaded her first closest victim. Remaining demons shot projectiles ranging from blades, sharpened rocks to fireballs her way.
After the teen murmured something all those projectiles disappeared in a water-like ripple in front of her. She flashed a smile to her enemies, with a small laugh she said: "So many of you, I think I need some help. <Susanoo: Yoroi>!" the body of the teen was quickly covered by a flaming red aura, behind her materialized an upper part of a big white skeleton that was soon covered by red chakra-like tissue giving the body female appearance. The next thing that appeared was a white armor covering the chakra-being with five floating swords the size of a human behind it's back.
Just now I understood that the battle is already finished, the demons were already cowering in fear before this red-eyed kunoichi. With a single movement of her finger that the chakra-being around her parroted one of the flying swords shot out above my head, behind me I heard a crash and screams.
"They are dead! RUN!" someone in the mob shouted.
The leader of those demons approached the teen, he had bones growing out of his elbows, knees and his back.
"*Sigh* I feel this overbearing chakra, we do not stand a chance. Can you show some honor and let my subordinates go?" he pleaded.
"You work for Orochimaru?" the teen asked.
"Yes. Hm?" The bony demon started jumping and dodging, he threw a kunai that just bounced off the empty floor.
'Is he mad?' I thought.
"What is with this butterfly? It just won't die! Leave me alone!" His subordinates were watching their captain making a fool out of himself.
"Noo! Leave me alone!" he slashed an empty spot with one of his bones.
Something happened I can't understand, the next moment his neck was opened by a massive cut that almost beheaded him, he started to drown in his own blood. The teen didn't move from her spot, nor any of his comrades. He just died spontaneously.
"How about I kill every single one of you sons of bitches, pull your skulls out and send them back to your master in a gift bag?" For the next couple of seconds, I wasn't sure who was the real demon. Who would have thought that a teen girl below 170cm could really pull out a skull of a grown man, melt its insides out, and use it as a weapon of murder against one of his friends?
'Fuck I will have a lot of nightmares of this day…'
"...-an! Hey Old-man! Why are you still here? The rest of the party guests left long ago." red-eyed Akuma asked me while dragging a body, of barely breathing armless sacrifice, by its hair.
(AN: Akuma - transl. to English is the devil if someone doesn't understand :-P)
------------------------------------------
Pov Change (return to omnipresent)
'Weird guy, he is sitting on the ground, shivering in fear' Kaname thought, looking at the old man with big burly muscles and bushy beard.
"Old-man!" she waved her hand before his eyes.
'Is he in shock?'
"Old-man! Hey Old-man! Why are you still here? The rest of the party guests left long ago."
"Ah! I'm sorry for everything I did!" he bowed his head as low as he could, it stayed near the floor for so long Kaname didn't know what to do.
'Is it some kind of custom in faraway countries?' she thought.
"It's okay, the bad guys are dead now. Everything will be alright now"
"What are you gonna do with him?" He pointed his finger to her latest victim,
"I have a plan, Hehehe" she laughed evilly.
"Are you gonna eat h-"
"No!"
"Ah! I'm sorry" he kowtowed again.
"*Sigh* Whatever. Weird old man" Kaname left him and made her way towards the red sealed box, deactivating the seals placed in four corners of the table, she was met with a smiling Raion.
"Just one word… Wow," he said.
"Thank you. What will you do with your brother?" Kaname asked.
"My father will punish him, but let's say I wouldn't worry about him. He will spend the rest of his life in a cell" Raion pointed with his finger to a laying body of his brother its head was wet.
"And why from the three dimethylmercury cups there is only one left?" she asked.
"You know Kaname-san, I was watching you defend us, and somehow accidentally I spilled the entire cup on his head. Noticing a silver blob of poison on my brother-in-law's face I tried to wash it away with the second cup. Oopsie!" replied his wife with a sarcastic smile.
"Sorry, all this fighting made my ears ringing. Did you say something?" Kaname replied with her smirk.
"Hmm? I didn't say anything?"
"Women… What would happen with somebody if accidentally he would be affected by said poison?" Raion asked.
"Let's say that theoretically someone got a drop of it on his skin. This poison block signals coming from the brain to the body. Such a person slowly in five to six months would lose his ability to move his limbs, firstly legs and hands would lose connection, then the bladder, mouth, bowel, etc.. In eight to nine months the substance would start attacking the brain, it would cause hallucinations and memory loss. In ten to eleven months the poison would cut the brain connection to the wretched one's heart, lungs, whichever kills him first. When your staff clears it please remind them not to touch the stuff, doesn't matter if they use gloves, the substance will easily burn through anything that is not a glass"
In the middle of Kaname's speech, Mito's ears got covered.
"That's a rather gruesome substance. So they targeted me with it as well?" Raion asked.
"That's something I originally thought. Now I know I was wrong. At the beginning of my investigation, I had a limited time to interrogate an unwilling informant, I asked him about the bounty for the Daimyo's son. He answered that there were two bounties, I wrongly assumed that both of them were for you, I was too confident in my Sharingan powers, I'm sorry for that"
"Do you mean that this Danzo guy put a price on this traitor's head?" he asked pointing to his brother's body.
"Yes Raion-sama, but there is one more thing I'm wary of. How the hell did he know that the Snake-bastard would try to put his puppet in your position? Poisoning wouldn't make sense if you would be healthy and alive"
"Hmm, I doubt we will get any news of that. Now, why did you leave this one alive?"
"This one?" Kaname pulled the hair of now unconscious Orochimaru's goon, "Raion-sama, did you ever took part in a hunt for a wild animal, like a wolf or deer?"
"Yeah, couple times, why?"
"Where can you find an animal after you wounded it and it ran away?"
"Hahaha, I see now. He will run to his lair, can you track him?" he laughed.
"Easily"
"When will you go?"
"You will have the protection of Twelve Guardians in an hour. I will put a small tracking seal on this moron's back and let him go… for now"
"What are the chances for you to meet with Orochimaru? Are you sure you can defeat him?" he asked.
"With his vast amount of hidden lairs? I don't know maybe 1/100. About defeating him I will never know, I never have seen him fight seriously. I want one thing, to save my friends or burn everything he owns to the ground"
REFLEXIONES DE LOS CREADORES 
dahnik
dahnik I decided to break the 5th part into two. It already has 3k words :-). I noticed Kaname became OP, mostly because of Sharingan and my shitty writing :-). Well in this world just simple goons shouldn't pose a problem for an Uchiha with MS in eyes. The next hard fight Kaname will experience I planned in 5 year time if you know what I mean *wink-wink*. What do you think of this chapter? I'm waiting for your comments :-).
The next chapter will feature the title event, will Kaname become hope for future generations as a personification of will of Fire, or will she become the Fire that cleanses the world of evil :-)?
If you found any mistakes please inform me :-) I don't like mistakes :-)
