Zabuza was looking at Shin with folded arms as Haku was looking quite serious too.
Shin just shrugged.
" What? I found a chance and I took it, do you know how hard it would be to convince everyone that you should be Mizukage after that stunt? "
Zabuza humped, sadly that was true, anyway Shin was to be the leader of Kiri behind the scenes, now he'll be the leader on the bright side as well.
This Zabuza understood, but he was confused about another thing.
" Why did you accept being a Kaguya? Even you can't keep up a transformation jutsu active for so long, this is a lifetime commitment. "
Haku nodded as well.
" This is very unsafe Shin kun, if you had said you were Yuki, I could have covered for you, but this, how do we find someone with shikotsumyaku now? "
Shin nodded, yes this was risky, but Kaguya was what fit his current status best, him not being a mist Ninja would completely remove any chance of him or Zabuza getting the position.
But Shin wasn't without ideas.
" I have a plan, you go to Kaguya clan's resting place and bring me the strongest looking man amongst them. "
Zabuza just looked weirded out.
" What a strange request.. "
Haku also looked a little off as she attempted to smile thinking it as a joke but Shin's serious face told her it was not.
Haku couldn't take that any longer and had to ask.
" Why do we need that Shin kun? "
Shin shrugged as if obvious.
" To get a Kaguya clan member of course, and if you can get one, why not get the best one. "
Haku didn't understand, so she asked again.
" But they have been dead for years, they have only some bones and rotten flesh remaining, I don't think any of them would fit your requirements.. "
Shin shook his head.
" That's fine, just find out about someone like that from records and bring me his bones, I'll deal with the rest. "
Haku not understanding, decided to nod, Zabuza got up as he and Haku walked out, getting ready to do their part.
As they left, Shin sighed.
" Man, this was all kinds of crazy, I have become strong, really strong, it seems I was wrong, I don't have much idea about my actual fighting prowess, all my enemies in training ground fight without emotions after all."
His virtual opponents can use a hundred percent of their strength and can always take the best decisions, that was the kind of people he was used to fighting.
But this fight told Shin, regular humans don't act like that, they have doubts, take wrong decisions, are afraid, many things could go wrong.
" This was what actually led to Yagura's quick defeat, I really thought he would go tailed beast the moment he saw me. But he was busy being shocked. Sheesh. "
That was what Shin's training ground version of Yagura would have done, but here, Yagura was human, he was caught off guard and hesitated to release full beast mode within his office.
This one mistake took him out directly.
" Now I have to play necromancer, I wonder if my idea will work, it did work in the show, it should work here, theoretically. "
It wasn't that long ago that Shin had received his Rinnegan abilities, he still wasn't as adept with it as he would like to be, but he was good enough to attempt an experiment.
If this worked, he would have much more scope to work with.
* Swish *
Zabuza and Haku were back, Zabuza walked upto Shin with a scroll in his hand.
" Here, he was supposedly the strongest man in Kaguya clan's history, at least the Kaguya clan as they settled in Mist village. But it's dubious at best, as this guy was killed by poison. "
Haku nodded, as she showed Shin the records they had swept up from ancestry department.
" This is him, his built is very similar to the man you are currently transformed into, has white spiky hair, red dots above his eyebrows, standard Kaguya clan member. "
Getting to next page, Haku exclaimed.
" Oh, and he also supposedly awakened shikotsumyaku. "
Shin smiled broadly as he laughed.
" Really? Then I think I know what his death by poison was all about. "
Looking at the paper passed on my Haku, Shin looked at the man's photo.
' Yo, he looks like what an adult kimimaro would look like, same face, same looks, same everything. Is kimimaro his grandchild..? '
Shin wondered, it would make sense, shikotsumyaku was awakened by this man as well.
" Alright, give me the bones. "
Zabuza handed him the bones, and Shin instantly put Zabuza and Haku in a genjutsu.
He then cast a room wide genjutsu using Infinite Tsukuyomi, anyone peeping from anywhere won't find what he was about to do.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
