Chapter 271
I knew this was a test, an orphan would love to have a last name, the
lure of power and respect would be too much. They wanted to know
how I would react. I already have an answer for them.
"I was raised an orphan, I didn't discover I was an Uchiha until I was
already a tokubetsu jonin. I didn't discover wood release until a few
months ago. I became strong on my own, but the moment I make a
claim to any clan they would simply say, 'oh, that makes sense, that's
why he's so powerful'. All my hard work will be overshadowed by a clan
who never cared for me. Why the fuck should I do that? I am Yami, not
an Uchiha or Senju, just Yami. As far as I'm concerned, the family of
friends I have right now is more than enough."
Hashirama smiled, "well...it would seem you inherited more than just
my jutsu and Madara's eyes. You have our convictions as well."
"Tell me Yami, what would you do to protect Konoha?" Tobirama asked.
"Anything," I replied, he nodded, but then I continued, "and I would do
the same for everyone else." This drew his attention, "peace for one
village can be gained by punishing the other village. That's how the
cycle of hate works. But I'm not interested in protecting one village at
the expense of the others. No, I refuse to do that. If I can, I'll protect
everyone."
"You're an idealist, just like my brother," Tobirama snorted to which
Hashirama smiled, "but you can't really believe that."
"I'm currently in the Land of Rice, now called the Land of Sound.
Orochimaru had made a ninja village of monsters that subjugate the
people with violence and threats," I took out the mission scroll and
tossed it to Tobirama, "my mission is to destroy the various bases of
Orochimaru and reform a better village."
Tobirama opened the scroll, Hashirama and Minato looking over his
shoulder to read the mission listed.
"That's the Third's handwriting...and his seal," Minato confirmed.
"The scroll is authentic," Tobirama stated simply, which was his way of
saying he believed me.
"And just when I thought you couldn't get more like me," Hashirama
chuckled, "are you sure we aren't directly related?"
I shrugged, "who knows."
"Well this convinced me," Minato smiled, "if there's anything I can help
with, just ask."
"It would seem helping you would be the best course of action for us,"
Tobirama huffed.
"What he means is, we'll be proud to help you," Hashirama nodded,
"now, what would you like to learn first?"
"Senjutsu, how do I use it?" I asked.
Two years later:
The capital of Oto was called Ta, it was much smaller than Hono, but
far more populated as most of the civilians lived here, the rest of the
land occupied by warring ninja clans that were now all under
Orochimaru, put up inside his hidden bases.
My team and I sat on the top most room of the daimyo's castle, looking
out at the small encampment of ninjas outside Ta's walls. They were
the combined ninja forces of the twelve ninja bases that I raided that
were filled with Oto ninjas and various labs Orochimaru had.
I gathered around 65% of all the ninjas Orochimaru had, the other 35%
were killed because they refused to betray Orochimaru's ideals.
Officially all the bases of Otogakure were destroyed along with most of
the labs and experiment halls. But I'm sure more are around,
somewhere.
"And why must I accept all these ninjas that are at my door?" the
daimyo of the land asked me. He was fat and bald, with a thin pencil
mush and thick ugly eyebrows. At his side were his personal
bodyguards, each chunin level, which was all that a land like this could
produce.
I looked at him, my oni mask in place, causing his men, who made eye
contact with me, to freeze in place thanks to my mask's ability. I had
grown since I began this mission, now standing at six feet five inches, I
was possibly the tallest ninja out of Konoha to date. My body grew
more muscles, though they didn't bulge like a body builder's but rather
was more streamlines like a runners.
I spoke, "it's simple. It's because they are your men, your people. You
betrayed them when you allowed Orochimaru to gain access to their
lives, you tossed them aside like used paper, and now, you must take
responsibility."
"I heard of you demons," the man snarled, I have to admit, he was
brave for doing so, if I was him I would be pissing my pants, "I heard
how you eight go across the country destroying Oto bases, why should
I listen to you?"
"Cause we'll kill you all if you don't," Jugo replied coldly.
"W-what?!" the daimyo cried out as his ninja bodyguards grew alert.
"Oh put your toys down," Suigetsu snorted, he wore the same black
cloak but this time had a bright blue mask. He patted Jugo's back, "if
he wanted you dead, you'll all be dead." We found him another one of
Orochimaru's bases, honestly, I was halfway expecting Karin to show
up soon, but it seemed Orochimaru didn't get his fangs into her before I
killed him.
Chapter 272
After freeing Suigetsu from his prisoner we gave the white haired boy a
choice, stay with us or go to Kiri. He choses to stay with us, his goal
was to gather all seven legendary swords of the Mist, he knew he
wasn't good enough to do that as he was right now.
"Indeed," Kimimaro nodded, he was the only one without a mask. His
face was now fuller and his skin tanner, he had my complexion, the sun
did him good..
"It's simple," I shrugged, "if you don't, the war that raged on in the lands
before will continue. Orochimaru did you a favour when he gathered
them all together. And while he was a...less that ideal match, the village
he created was good. So, if you don't take responsibility...they will
become violent, and they are currently less than a stone's throw away."
"W-what do you expect me to do then?!" the man cried out, "I can't
control ninjas! That's a Kage's job!"
I shrugged, "then get them a kage, allow them to vote for who they
wish for, it's none of-"
Ping!
Your Eternal Rival perk has activated!
Kisame Hoshigaki is 2,000 feet away from your current position!
My eyes widened, "damn, that is surprising. I thought we kept a low
enough profile."
"What's happening?" the daimyo asked.
"We're being tracked by a monster," I replied as I got up, "Kisame
Hoshigaki is coming, and I'm guessing Itachi Uchiha will be coming
with him."
"Kisame?!" Suigetsu grinned, "then I'm coming too! It's been a long
time since I saw Kisame sensei!"
"I'll come as well," Turtle replied.
"That should be enough," I nodded, "Sexy, Puma, Flute, Bones and
Monster, stay here, keep them safe. We'll head them off."
"But I can help," Jugo spoke.
"Later," Kimimaro held down his friend, "I believe this one is a personal
battle."
Damn that white haired bastard, he could always see right through me.
I snorted, "whatever. Come on, try to keep up Suigetsu."
"Bite me," he growled as we took off, leaping through buildings before
landing outside the village walls. The gathered Oto ninjas looked
worried, but we blew right past them, heading to a large flat lands with
a gently sloping hill. And on the other side were two figures, both
wearing black cloaks with red clouds on them.
I stopped fifty feet away, I could see Kisame's body tense, he was on
edge. It wasn't surprising to see Itachi next to him, but it was surprising
to see Samehada back in his possession.
"How did you get that blade back?" I asked as I took off the mask and
put it into my inventory, it's useless against someone like Kisame, and
it would only reduce my field of vision.
"I stole it the first time around, why did you think they could keep it from
me again?" Kisame smirked, though I could see an eagerness behind
his eyes, a tension. I noticed his right wrist was white now, a different
shade. And his eyes, they were yellow now, they were probably made
from a white zetsu.
"I see...whoever fixed your hand and eyes must have been quite a
genius...though white really isn't your colour shark boy," I smirked.
"Why you little brat!" Kisame growled.
"We aren't here to fight you Yami Uchiha," Itachi replied as he calmed
Kisame down, "we are here for your companion," he turned to Turtle,
"the Fourth Mizukage."
I raised an eyebrow, "ah, are you high? Yagura's dead, I killed him
myself."
"Kiri certainly believes so," Kisame snorted, "but then again they
always were a gullible lot."
"We know you have been traveling with the three tails, our spies have
confirmed it. He uses the same taijutsu style and the same jutsus as
Yagura," Itachi stated calmly.
I whistled, "I see, damn Itachi, you really are something," I noticed
Yagura halter for a second, freezing in place. I sighed and tapped his
shoulder, sending a burst of chakra out of his system.
"Gah!" he gasped, panting, "w-what happened?"
"Genjutsu," I replied, just then Suigetsu arrived on the scene,
"Suigetsu, protect Turtle from Itachi Uchiha. Kisame and I have some
business to deal with."
The shark man grinned, "damn right we do!" he swung his mighty
weapon and removed it's bandages, revealing the scaly monstrosity
that was hidden underneath.
Suigetsu groaned, "but I wanted to-" he gulped as I looked back and
sent him a sharp glare strong enough to make him sweat instantly.
Blood lust, Lv- 19 (50%)
The ability to scare others with your blood lust.
Chance of success- 95%
-10% for every level the opponent has over you
I turned back around and pushed open my dragon skin cloak, "you
sure you want to do this?" I asked him.
Kisame growled, "I've trained everyday since you stole Samehada from
me," I felt his enormous chakra levels flare up as they all went pouring
into the blade, "I've gotten a lot stronger since last you saw me brat!
I've gotten faster too!"
Kisame Hoshigaki, Tailless tailed beast
Lv- 102
REP- -100
I smiled as I made a single hand seal, using my middle finger to cross
my index finger horizontally, summoning three shadow clones, "so
have I Kisame."
Yami, Vanquisher of Orochimaru
Lv- 98
ZOOM!
Kisame was much faster, Sameda nearly cleaved off my head. But I
managed to draw Kusanagi up and block the legendary blade with a
single hand. My left moved through hand seals as a layer of chakra
exploded outwards in the form of blue chakra.
Chapter 273
"Power Release: Shock wave!" I thrusted the hand out, a burst of
potential force came flying out. Kisame was pushed back a few feet,
but managed to remain standing, which was quite an achievement on
it's own.
-100 HP
Kisame Hoshigaki: 1, 699,900/1,700,000
A clone charged him. Kisame instantly moved and blocked the attack,
catching the clone's blade with his own. The strength of the blow was
so strong Kisame's feet sank into the ground.
"Damn," he groaned as his hands shook from holding the clone's blade
back, "what kind of monstrosity is that?"
"Okina Tsuyo," my clone replied as he pushed back, forcing Kisame to
disengage and jump back. The clone placed the blade on his
shoulders, showing it off. It was a great sword in the form of a butcher's
knife. I had designed it to look similar to Ichigo Kurosaki's zanpakuto.
Okina Tsuyo, A rank
A great blade that harness Power Release chakra through it. It
was created by Yami.
Durability- 10,000
DMG- 2,000 (+100 per 10 CP that is channeled through)
CP- X
"Where did you get a blade like that?" Kisame asked as he eyed it
over, "it's quite something," he looked over, "and it would seem it
wasn't alone."
The other clones I made surrounded Kisame, each holding another
blade. The other two blades I had created used the elements of Wind
and Scorch.
The Scorch release blade was a normal katana with air vents present
along its flat edge. The blade was a dull blue with a sharp edge, it's
gaurd was in the form of a phoenix with it's wings spread out in flight
and hanging from it's handle was a blue string with a bell on it.
Asa no Hono, A rank
A katana that harness Scorch Release chakra through it. It was
created by Yami.
Durability- 2,000
DMG- 500 (+500 per 10 CP that is channeled through)
CP- X
And the final one was a blade for wind release. And unlike the rest, it
wasn't even a blade. It was a battle fan. One that, when folded, looked
like a guardless doubled edged blade. Right now it was unfurled,
opened up in the form of several blades that created a fan like figure. It
was a light sea green, with the handle being a dark red.
Kaze no Naki, A rank
A great blade that harness Wind Release chakra through it. It was
created by Yami.
Durability- 2,000
DMG- 600 (+100 per 10 CP that is channeled through)
CP- X
"Well...this is interesting," Kisame smirked, "tell me kid, do you even
know how to use those things?"
"Suigetsu gave me a few pointers," I replied as we readied ourselves to
attack.
"That brat? Ha! He can't even defeat the weakest of the seven
swordsmen!" Kisame laughed.
"True, but I can," I channeled chakra into my eyes activating the
sharingan. And with that, we began our attack.
"Water Release: Thundering waves!" Kisame spat out a stream of high
pressure water at my clone with the Power sword.
Ping!
You have acquired a new jutsu!
Water Release: Thundering Waves, B rank
The user-
Not now! I dismissed the message.
"Getsuga Tensho!" my clone called out as a burst of blue power chakra
came rushing out as he swung Okina. It was similar to Ichigo's power,
meaning it was just as destructive.
Kisame's eyes widened as the blowing fang of power stripped apart the
water justs and cme right for him.
"FUCK!" he stood his ground and brought he sword forward, absorbing
the full brunt force of the attack, managing to deflect it skywards.
"Sakura sweet winds!" the clone wielding Naki, the wind sword,
slashed forward, sending a thousand tiny blades of wind at Kisame,
each strong enough to destroy him.
"Where the fuck do you get this shit?!" Kisame asked in a roar as he
leaped away.
"From your mother!" I held out Kusanagi and flared chakra through it,
causing the blade to expand in a second to an outrageous length of
fifty feet that Kisame had to bend over backwards to dodge.
"Fanged dagger Shadow clone jutsu!" the clone with the scorch blde
threw a fanged dagger than immediately formed over a hundred copies
of itself.
"Oh fuck!" Kisame cried out as he swung his blade, deflecting a
majority of them, while a few still flew close to him. And one particular
dagger flew over his shoulder, there was a flash of blue lightning as the
one wielding the Power blade appeared right over Kisame.
"Getsuga-"
Kisame's his hands already moving through a jutsu, landing on the dog
seal as my clone swung Okina towards.
"Water Release: Super Exploding Water shock wave!" the resulting
blast of water pushed everyone behind, cutting off Okinawa's attack
halfway.
Ping!
You have-
FUCK OFF!
Kisame sent out an explosion of water so huge it formed a dome of
around 80 feet of height that was over two hundred feet long.
"I didn't think I would have to use this so quickly," Kisame growled as
slowly his sword's handle came alive and began sneaking into his
robes, "I have to admit, you are one amazing ninja Yami Uchiha."
Chapter 274
I saw his blade slowly merge into his body, forming the shark like man
into a literal demi shake, with a fin on his back and a shark like face.
He was in his shark mode, I think I remember seeing him do this when
fighting with Killer Bee.
"I'm not an Uchiha!" I cried out as he moved, faster than before, and
thanks to this water, I was much slower.
"I have you now!" Kisame growled.
I smirked, "not quite," I sent chakra into the rinnegan activating a jutsu,
'Amenotejikara!'
-4,800! CP
Immediately my body was substituted for one of my clones as Kisame's
fangs reached inches before me.
"Burn and die," the clone with the Scorch blade Asa raised the blade.
"SHIT!" Kisame came to a grinding halt as he tried to move out of the
way. But it was too late. The air vent along the side of the blade began
to heat up as the very water around us began to steam up.
"Burn it all to the ground!" the clone swung the blade as suddenly
scorch chakra came pouring out of the blade, exploding outwards,
flash boiling the water around us.
"Show off!" I cried out as we leaped out of the water construct and
landed on the solid ground once more. I looked over my shoulder and
noticed Itachi using genjutsu to stiffen Suigetsu while dodging Yagura's
metal bo staff. That man is planning something, he always is.
"You bastard!" I turned, the steam cleared off as Kisame appeared
before me, now back to his human form, except now his blue skin was
tinted with red. His cloak was destroyed, he now stood before me
shirtless and looking annoyed.
Kisame Hoshigaki: 1, 687,900/1,700,000
I quickly formed twenty wood clones and sent them away. Kisame
noticed, "wood? You can fucking use wood now? Fuck you brat! What
else can you do?!"
"Hm, I personally prefer my shark meat well done, but for you I'll make
an exception," I chuckled at Kisame's form.
"I'm going to make you pay for what you did to my hand," Kisame
growled as he readied his blade and charged forward, immediately my
clone with Okina came in, blocking the sword with his own.
"1,000 sakura petals!" the clone with the wind sword slashed forward,
creating a thousand tiny flashing blades of wind that came at Kisame's
back. They hit dead on, only to have Kisame collapse into water.
"I have you!" Kisame smashed his sword on top of my head, only for
me to vanish into a poof of smoke, and the real me to appear before
Kisame.
"Moron," I snorted as Kusanagi extended forward like a snake striking
at an enemy at blinding speeds. Kisame had his arm pierced, blood
came freely as the missing nin quickly used a body flicker to escape a
good fifty feet away from us.
"Fuck, I didn't think I would have to use this," Kisame growled as he
placed his blade into the ground, freeing up his hands. He immediately
flew through jutsus, I didn't recognize what they were, but I knew it was
going to be a nasty one.
"Stop him," I ordered as my clones moved to obey.
"Ten thousand sakura petals!" Naki expanded into a full fledged fan as
it came down hard, the wind it pushed forward focusing into a stream
of pink petals that flew at Kisame. The chakra cost was so high the
clone popped out of existence upon performing it with the blade
returning to my inventory.
"Heavenly flames!" Asa cried out as the blue flames from my scorch
release came rushing out of the katana's air vents, mixing with the
sakura petals to make them twice as deadly.
"Water Release: Trench's gasp!"
Ping!
You have learnt a new jutsu!
Water Release: Trench's gasp, S rank
User draws water from all around them, reforming the landscape
into a giant lake or something bigger.
CP cost- 10,000
The resulting explosion of water that came out didn't just come from
Kisame, but from the air itself. Suddenly the plain we were fighting
exploded, water from deep underground was drawn out as chunks of
earth was raised up, the entire landscape was changed in an instant.
People claimed the second was the greatest water user of all time. But
he wasn't, in that moment I knew Kisame Hoshigaki was greater than
Tobirama, and I would know, I did learn from the man.
And because I learnt from the man, I knew one thing. Every jutsu has
one weakness, maybe several. And I studied water jutsus long enough
to know what every water jutsu had in common. Their conductivity and
movement.
Water had to flow, they had to come from somewhere, and I can target
that. I leaped out of the water, landing on the giant man made lake that
was now the palins we used to stand on. My clones are one, all of
them didn't survive the blast, using their bodies to protect me.
Chapter 275
"Looks like I'll have to get serious," I sighed as I put Kusanagi away,
looking around with eyes, sensing the man's chakra right below me, he
had returned to his shark form. Currently he was moving near the
bottom of the lake, waiting for a chance to strike. I reached out with my
senses, I could feel my wood clones, out of the twenty I made only five
survived.
But that would be more than enough for the coming fight.
"I know you can here me Kisame," I spoke as I unfurled my cloak
reliving my armour underneath. I activated my 8.0 enhanced vision and
searched the depths for him, using my hidden rinnegan to detect his
chakra, "I'll give you one last chance. Stop this fight and leave, and I
won't kill you."
He didn't move, he was waiting for his chance to strike.
I sighed, "fine then, don't blame me for what's about to happen," I
focused my eyes at the point where I felt him swinging. I then activated
the perk I gained at level 80 via the hero maker perk;
Heat vision- Sent a focused beam of laser out of your eyes. Cost-
50 SP Max- 5,000 DMG
My eyes heated up similar to the sun as twin beams of red energy
blasted out of my eyes and into the lake below. They pierced the
waterbody like a blade of fire that flew straight down into the water bed
below.
There was a sudden explosion as Kisame came out of the water, still in
his shark form. He landed on the lake surface and growled holding a
scorched shoulder.
I grinned as I cut off the laser, "I'll be honest, that was a total shot in the
dark," I blinked away the itching sensation I gained in my eyes for
using the skill, I was still new to it.
"You bastard," Kisame growled, "just what kind of ninja are you?"
"The kind who's kill list is filled with the names of S rank monsters like
you," I replied as I charged forward.
Kisame plunged into the water, but I managed to grab him by the fin
and throw him up into the air. He tried to dive in, but I made contact in
mid air, attacked him with a fanged dagger that swiped at his eye,
cutting it once more.
We landed and immediately engaged in a taijutsu spar that slowly grew
more and more fast paced. He was using his claws and arm fins to
attack, but I managed to clock them using a simple kunai. However he
kept trying to sneak back into the water, forcing me to spend most of
my time keeping him above ground.
I grabbed his arm and threw him over my shoulder, as he came down I
thrusted the kunai in my hand, striking his heart. The force from the hit
sent him flying backwards, breaking the kunai in half.
He landed on the water and jumped up, his hands moving through
several hand seals, I recognized them, I countered with my own.
"Water Release: Water Bullet-"
"Scorch Release: Dragon Breath!" the blue flames burnt away the
water bullets as Kisame finally managed to seap into the waters below.
But if he think he managed to outskill me, he's stupider than I thought.
I looked at my right hand, my palm had been cut, I did it in order to slip
a few drops of my blood into Kisame's body when my kunai stabbed
him. I had learnt a lot since using my blood for manipulating the cells in
a body. And one of them, was to use my own blood as a marker.
There was a flash of lighting as five clones appeared before me, the
clones I had made before. And in each of their hands was a ball of
amazing destructive abilities.
"Scorch goes first, then...it's anyone's game," I explained as I took off,
leaping away from the water, reaching the lake's shore, turning around
to watch the show.
The clone with the Scorch release vanished first, And then.
BOOM!
The lake bulged up in an explosion as the water exploded upwards. It
began to steam up as Kisame's body came flying out.
-400,000 HP!
Kisame Hoshigaki: 1,030,000/1,700,000
"Lava Release: Rasen Lava Ball!" a second clone vanished in a blu
roof lighting and hit Kisame in the gut.
-400,000 HP!
Kisame Hoshigaki: 630,000/1,700,000
"Lighting Release: Destruction!" the third one with a spinning orb of
lightning hit Kisame in the face. But in the very last moment Kisame
managed to leap away, getting only a small fraction of the blast.
-3,000 HP!
Kisame Hoshigaki: 420,000/1,700,000
"Power Release: Exploding sun!" the fourth hit Kisame's gut, and in
doing so created an explosion so powerful it resembled the sun. The
explosion sent Kisame crashing back into the lake, which was now
bone dry. His right arm was a stump, he sacrificed it in order to escape
the blast.
-200,000 HP!
Kisame Hoshigaki: 210,000/1,700,000
"Storm Release: Thunder's theme!" the fifth came landing into
Kisame's prone form, hitting his stomach with such force the ground
below Kisame exploded into cracks.
-200,000 HP!
Kisame Hoshigaki: 10,000/1,700,000
I dispelled the clones and reappeared in the middle of the crater
looking down at Kisame's beaten and bleeding form.
Chapter 276
His right arm was a stump, his body was burnt in several spots form
the lighting and scorching flames. The lava had destroyed his back and
the storm release plunged a hole into his gut. He was broken and lying,
the bleeding effect would kill him...if I didn't do it first.
"Tell me kid," he coughed, his eyes looking up at the sky, "why do you
fight?"
"I...I fight in order to protect the world and it's people."
"Stupid dream," Kisame replied with a snort.
"No...I don't think so," I looked over, I could feel Itachi's chakra waning,
guess even he couldn't last against a jinchuriki for so long, he was
going to win, I know that, but his chakra levels were flattering. He was
sick right? Some kind of disease that was killing him, hm, maybe that's
why Yagura hasn't lost yet.
"Do you know why I joined the Akatsuki?" Kisame asked.
"No...why?"
"Because I didn't want this world of lies to exist any longer," Kisame
spat, "this world..where children kill, where those you are expected to
trut turn their backs on you? I...I can't live in such a world."
I smiled, "neither can I...but...the reason people lie, they reason they try
to kill each other...it's always because of the same reason. They don't
trust one another. They don't...they don't realise there is nothing else in
this world but us, there is nothing more, I could be wrong, sure, but for
now...we are all we have. And if people realise that...the world can be a
better place Kisame. We don't have to hurt it to make them realise
that."
"Do you have a plan to do something like that kid?" Kisame asked with
a snort, I saw his HP reduce to 4 thousand.
I nodded, "something like that yes," I remembered the images of
Naruto and Sasuke fighting and defeating Kaguya, "don't worry...this
will all work out in the end."
"Right..." Kisame looked up at the sky. Slowly his body returned to
normal. Samehada separated from him, but remained at his side,
curling up besides him like a puppy seeking comfort from it's dying
master. It's scales were broken apart, I had shattered it in several
places, but it still cared so much for Kisame, I was honestly amazed a
sword could be so sentient.
"Kisame...if you want...I can save you," I spoke, "you don't have to die-"
"-No kid," he cut in, "it's my time...at least give me the death of a
shinobi. Let me have my pride."
I nodded, "right."
"But...do me a favour will you?"
"Sure."
"Bring Samehada back to Kiri, I'm sure they'll find a new user for him
there...there's a kid, Kiragu, he's from my clan, but nothing like me," he
chuckled causing blood to spill out of his gut, "he'll be perfect. He's an
idealist, like you. If you're serious about saving the world...let him help."
Ping!
Quest Alert!
Entrust Samehada to Kiragu!
Reward:
Trusted alley
+200 EXP
Failure:
Nothing
Do you accept?
Y/N?
I nodded, accepting the mission, "if he's ready, I would gladly take
him."
"Good luck," he looked off into the distance, "a world without killing
huh? What a nice dream..." and with that, Kisame's HP hit 0, he died.
Samhsa began to cry, it shrank down into the size of a normal four foot
long blade and became very still. I'm guessing it was in mourning.
Ping!
You gained 350,000 EXP!

I sighed, "damn, such needless death...whatever," I sealed Samehada
away and used scorch release to burn Kisame's body into nothing
more than ashes which I then buried underground. I so didn't want
someone bringing him back to life.
I then took off, I could feel Yagura getting hurt, he was in trouble. I
leaped into the air and charged, I located them quickly, Suigetsu was
knocked out, his injuries didn't look so bad though. Yagura
however...he was currently covered in black fire screaming.
"ARGH!" he screamed so loudly I could hear it from afar.
"There is nothing you can do Yami," Itachi said as I arrived on the
scene and ran to Yagura, "you can't touch him without burning yourself,
the flames of amaterasu are absolute. You aren't powerful enough-"
"-Oh shut up," I snorted as I reached out and grabbed Yagura's head,
immediately activating my rinnegan to activate the Preta path and
absorbed chakra. Immediately the black flames vanished into my body
as Yagura was left suffering from massive burns, though the sanbi did
it's best to heal him.
Chapter 277
I quickly summoned two clones that each grabbed an ally of mine
before taking off. I then turned to Itachi whose eyes had widened
slightly from shock.
"How...that power...is it from your eyes?" Itachi asked.
I deactivated my third eye, I couldn't risk him seeing it with his
sharingan. I then activated my normal eyes displaying the sharingan in
them, "they are quite something aren't they?"
"...I see Kisame is dead," a hint of regret was present in Itachi's voice.
"I...I tried not to kill him. I offered to spare his life several times...I'm
sorry."
"Don't be...that's just the sort of man he was...now then, what to do
with you?" he sent out a stream of chakra, trying to trap me in a
genjutsu, but it didn't take as I merely shrugged it off.
"That's never going to work on me Itachi," I snorted going through the
hand seals for a summoning jutsu.
"You ability to resist a genjutsu is simple outstanding. I have to say, I'm
surprised such talent was born to our clan in two generations."
"I'm not an Uchiha," I growled as I slammed my hand to the ground,
"summoning jutsu!"
There was a poff of smoke as suddenly three coffins appeared before
me. Itachi's eyes widened in shock as out of those three coffins the
previous hokages stepped out.
"This jutsu...it's Orochimaru's...I didn't think you would ever fall this low
and perverse Yami," Itachi said in disappointment.
"I don't need to be lectured from the man who killed his own clan under
the orders of Danzo," I shot back, shocking Itchy so much he actually
gasped.
"H-how did you know?" Itachi asked.
"Danzo himself told me...before I killed him for being a traitor," I replied
before slowly the hokage's began to move.
"Argh! This is nice!" Hashirama said as he stretched his arms, "it's
been awhile since you summoned us Yami! What's wrong? Do you not
like us anymore?"
I smiled, "I know how hard it is for you all to return to this plane of
existence from living in heaven. I decided to try and avoid it if I can't
help it."
"Then why did you summon us right now?" Tobirama asked.
"Because I need your help deciding on what to do about this man," I
motioned to Itachi who tried to run using a crow clone in his place. Only
to have all four of us arrive before the real him, surrounding him and
blocking his escape.
"My my, he is good," Hashirama smiled, "I'm amazed we managed to
produce such a caliber of ninjas!"
"You're Itachi aren't you? Mikoto's son," Minato speculated.
Itachi sighed, "yes...lord Fourth."
"And he's in dire need for a talking too," I sat down on a rock, sighing
as I did, "he's under orders to infiltrate and learn more about Akatsuki,
but in order to do that he branded himself a traitor, a killer. So...I want
you all to tell me what we should do with him."
"This is the same boy who you believe had Madara's help in killing off
the Uchiha?" Tobirama asked.
I nodded, "the very same."
"It seems you are very well informed Yami," Itachi spoke as he
deactivated his sharingan, "it seems useless at this point to fight."
"Smart move," Hashirama smiled, "now tell me Itachi Uchiha, do you
wish to return to Konoha?"
Chapter 278: The End- 1
"I cannot," Itachi replied, "since you seem to be well informed I'll tell
you this...Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki, is planning something big.
He requires all the bijuu to do it. I cannot leave until every single
member is stopped."
"Then it looks like I have another mission," I sighed.
Ping!
Quest Alert!
Defeat the Akatsuki! (1/9)
Rewards:

?
Failure:
Death
Do you accept?
Y/N?
I selected yes and dismissed the box.
"You cannot just destroy nine S rank level ninjas," Itachi replied.
I shrugged, "I already killed one so far. What's another eight? Either
way I need to kill them," I turned to Hashirama, "what do you think?"
"Kind of blunt, but I like it!" Hashirama grinned.
"If you need anything summon us," Tobirama replied before dismissing
himself, returning to the coffin and deactivating.
"Do you have the locations of all members?" Minato asked.
Itachi looked at him for a moment before turning to me, "why are you
so set on bringing me back home?"
"You are a great ninja, you have sacrificed so much...is it really
surprising I want you rewarded for your actions?" I asked.
"You flatter me," Itachi sighed.
"Oh no, he doesn't give you enough justice if anything," Hashirama
laughed, "you're a much greater ninja than me, that's for sure!"
"If you are going to do this...then you will need my help," Itachi replied,
"even you can't take one eight of them alone...especially Pain."
"Please," I grinned, "I already have the perfect plan to get rid of them
all. But...I wouldn't say no to help."
"I see...very well," Itachi threw a seal at me, "use that to contact me
once your current mission is finished, as I understand it, you have one
final base of Orochimaru's to destroy."
"One final one?" I raised an eyebrow, "I thought I got them all."
"No, not quite. There is a secret base he kept in Grass, in Kusa. It was
a base he alone used and no one else. He once tried to lure me into
it...it is located in the woods somewhere, unfortunately I don't know any
other details."
I nodded, "right then, thanks for the details," I put the envelope away
and smiled, "Sasuke's going to flip."
"No...don't tell him."
I snorted, "oh please, and why shouldn't I?"
"I...I need him to hate me," Itachi replied, "he has too...if he doesn't,
then he'll remain weka."
"That is a very depressing way to look about like Itachi," Minato replied
with sad eyes, "you...you can become strong without being depressed
you know."
"I know," Itachi smiled, "but...I don't think I deserve the love Sasuke has
for me...not after what I did."
"Maybe he should decide for himself, yes?" I asked.
"...Very well...if you feel it best, tell him," and with that, he vanished.
"What a strange guy," Hashirama whistled as we felt Itachi's chakra
signature get further and further away.
"That he is," I sighed, "anyway...Akatsuki is going to make their move
soon. My sources speculate as much. If they go by order they'll attack
Suna first, then Kumo before trying to come after Yagura again, now
that they know he's alive."
"Do you have a plan for that?" Minato asked.
I nodded, "yup. First we get rid of the last base of Orochimaru, then we
target the members of the Akatsuki. I'm guessing we lay in wait for the
one's going after Gaara. Hm...maybe I should send a message to
Kumo to watch out...yeah, could be worth something."
"I see, then what about Madara?" Hashirama asked.
"If he catches wind of our plans? Then we'll be in danger...but I don't
think it'll be too much of a hassle as it is right now," I sighed, "honestly
though, the guy is so lame...I mean, he isn't even the true enemy."
"Oh? And who is?" Minato asked, the two hokages were now visibly
tense, good, they noticed him as well.
I looked towards my left, "he is...isn't that right, Black Zetsu?" the
venus fly trap like figure was peaking out of a tree off in the distance.
"Shit!" he cried out as he tried to sink back into the tree he was
standing in in order to get away, only for Hashirama to collide into the
tree, destroying it from the trunk.
The black and white zetsu leaped into the air and immediately divided
into two, each half took off seperate directions.
I didn't even hesitate to go after the black one, Minato went for the
white one.
It was about to leap into another tree and escape, I snapped my
fingers, pouring chakra into my hands to form a black receiver in the
form of a rod.
-1,000 CP
I threw it forward, piercing the goo like substance into the tree trunk.
"SHIT!" he cried out, he realised just how fucked he was.
"Stop," I formed the ram seal, pouring chakra into his body through the
receiver rod, stunning him. The black zetsu was just a mass of chakra,
and not a very big one. It was smart though, but arrogant enough to
think even after all these years humanity would just keep to ignoring
him.
Chapter 279
"H-how did you know?" he asked.
"Come on, are you really asking me this?" I asked as I summoned a
clone to form a rasen nova blast behind me.
"How did you know?!" he asked.
"Hm...why don't you just die with the suspense?" I smiled as my clone
charged forward, smashing the destructive ball into Zetsu's body. I
flickered away as the entire forest blew up.
Ping!
You have gained a critical hit! Damage increase times 5!
-400,000 HP!
Black Zetsu HP's: 0/350,000
Ping!
You have made progress in your quest!
Defeat the Akatsuki! (2/9)
Nice. Now that this asshole was killed, I can finally focus preventing
Kaguya from being reborn. He was the reason all of this even began,
and now he was gone...it's almost too good be true...but whatever, I
don't have time to reminisce.
I took off, quickly finding Minato with Hashirama, now standing over a
defeated white zetsu. "Nice," I replied as I landed before them, "that's
two down, seven to go."
"This one seemed easy," Hashirama frowned, "are you sure he's a real
threat?"
"He was the spy," I replied as I began scanning the white zetsu, "he's
chakra was almost perfectly blended with that of the tree he was
peaking out of...hm, it would seem that he is composed of your cells
Hashirama. I'm guessing this is Madara's doing."
"It does sound like something he would do," the First sighed, "my
friend...what have you become?"
"I'll keep this away for further study," I replied as I put him away and
opened my quest menu to see the progress I made on the mission I
gained two years ago;
Save Oto!
Number of Orochimaru's bases destroyed: 164/165
"Itachi was right," I grumbled, "fine then...I'll summon you all later, I
could use the help with the battle with the Akatsuki."
"Just call if you need us Yami," Hashirama smiled as he summoned
himself.
"Yami...there is something I've been meaning to ask you," Minato
spoke up.
"What is it Minato?" I asked.
"I...do you know what happened the day I sealed the kyuubi away?" he
asked.
"Which part?"
"The part where I split the fox in two," Minato replied.
"Oh...right, yeah. What about it?"
He unbuttoned his jacket and lifted his shirt to reveal the seal in his
belly, "he's right here...the fox...I gave Naruto the Yang half, sealing the
Yin within myself."
I hummed as I scanned the seal, very strong stuff, "what's the
difference?" I asked.
"Very little," Minato sighed, "I just had to find a way to seal the fox
away. It was impossible to seal all of it away while also designing the
seal to siphon away chakra to allow Naruto to control it. So I was
forced to divide it up, to make things easier. I wanted Naruto to be the
child of prophecy...but now, I see a faster way for that to happen. With
you by his side, Naruto will not fail...and so I wish to give you the Yin
half to you..it's better served with someone alive, then someone dead."
"Wait...what?!" I blinkey-you want to seal the kyuubi within me?! Are
you fucking out of your mind?! I don't want that annoying thing in my
head!"
Minato blinked, "r-really? I thought you wouldn't mind."
"Fuck no! I already have personal demons Minato! I so do not need
more!" I grumbled, it's bad enough my brain is filled with ninja ideas
and thoughts of whether or not this world is even real. I've been having
an existential crisis every other day! And now he wants to add a talking
nine tailed fox into that mix?! No thank you!
Minato chuckled, "alright then, I suppose that settles that...but if you
change your mind, you know where to find me," he then vanished in a
poff of smoke.
Damn that man, offering me power like that. Doesn't he get what I have
to do just to remain human? All this power can so easily go to one's
head, and he goes and offers me more? Fucking asshole!
I took off, heading towards Ta once more, by now the Oto ninjas
outside the capital had gathered into a small army with Kimimaro at the
lead.
I quickly put on my hood and mask and landed before him. "What's this
all about?" I asked him looking at the assembled army.
"When your clones returned with Turtle and Suigetsu we thought you
could use some help. I see that wasn't the case," Kimimaro
commented.
I nodded, "yeah. Itachi managed to escape," I clicked my teeth,
"anyway...let's go."
"Right," Kimimaro turned to his men, "stand down. The threat has been
dealt with! Return to your posts but put up a patrol around us, we don't'
want another surprise like that!"
"Yes!" the men responded as they did just that.
Kimimaro stayed behind to organise everyone while I returned to the
daimyo's chamber where the man paced around nervously. The
moment we stepped in he noticed me, "ah! You're back! Did you deal
with Kisame?!"
I nodded, "yes, we did," I looked out at the men on the field, moving
about to Kimimaro's orders. I smiled, "and by the way, about what you
asked. Who would lead this group..what do you think of Kimimaro?
Purple is very much his colour."
Chapter 280
One week later:
"I hate you...I just want you to know that," Kimimaro replied as he stood
before my team and I in a white and purple version of the Hokage
robes wearing purple hat with the kanji for 'Second Otokage' written
proudly on his back with purple fields of rice marking his sleeves and
coat trimming.
"I'm sure you do...lord Otokage," I chuckled.
"It suits you bone fucker," Tayuya grinned.
"I'm sure you'll do fine," Turtle nodded, who made a full recovery
thanks to my cellular healing.
"So you sure you don't want to come Suigetsu?" I asked the white
haired boy.
The teen snorted, "no...after how that Itachi bastard kicked my ass I
need to train, not run around on errands. If you guys need my help call,
but until then, I'm staying right here."
"He'll be a jonin of Oto," Kimimaro informed me as he removed the hat,
"you were right Light...there is more to this world than just servitude
towards one man," he looked behind him at the oto ninja who he now
controlled, "I am now their master...I just hope I'm worthy."
"You are," answered Jugo, who was now the Hokage's personal
assistant.
"Well then...I suppose this is goodbye huh?" Anko grinned, "take care
you three! Don't go invading Konoha you hear!"
"I have already dispatched an eagle to Konoha asking for an alliance,"
Kimimaro nodded, "don't worry, I don't' see our village being hostile
towards each other any time soon."
I nodded, "that's good. Now...I suppose it's time to leave," I extended a
hand which Kimimaro shock, "until next time Kimimaro."
"Yes...Yami," he smiled.
We took off after that, traveling towards the last of Orochimaru's hidden
bases.
A week later:
"ARGH! I hate this!" Tayuya screamed as she ripped off her mask and
smashed it into the ground, "we have been looking in this god forsaken
land for that snake bastard's last base and we haven't found shit!"
Puma sighed, "you have no patients."
"Hey! You try fucking spending all your time looking around for
something hidden from ninjas! It's fucking impossible!"
"I found it," Anko spoke pointing at a boulder, "I can feel Orochimaru's
chakra coming off it, he sealed it away."
I turned and smiled at Tayuya, whose jaw was unhinged and hanging
loosely. "And that is why we don't say something stupid that will
eventually come back to bite us in the ass Tayuya. Come, let's finish
this damn mission."
We arrived at the barrier and I activated my eyes, finding the seal
anchor hidden underneath the stone. I applied a touch of chakra into it
and suddenly the entire bolder began to shake as it moved to the side
revealing a tunnel inside.
"Let's move," I walked in, Turtle following, Puma came next and then
Flute and finally Sexy.
"So...what exactly am I going to do after this?" Tayuya asked as we
entered deeper into the base.
"You could come with us to Konoha," Anko offered, "you can stay at my
place, I wouldn't mind. And I'm sure when we tell the Hokage what
happened he'll grant you citizenship in a heartbeat."
"Really?" Tayuya asked in surprise.
"Yeah, really. The old man owes me one, he'll not argue," I told her as
we walked forward before stopping, my eyes widening, "wait...we aren't
alone."
"How many?" Turtle asked as immediately we all moved into attack
position.
"Twenty...but there's something wrong. They are all weak, almost dead,
five of them are powerful enough, but one of the five is...well, for a lack
of a better world, he or she is dying...we need to hurry, something feels
wrong!"
I took off, leaving my team in the dust.
"Dammit!" Tayuya screamed, "wait for us shit head!"
"He's always like this when people are in danger," Yagura informed as
they tried to catch up, but was too distracted to follow their chat.
I rushed through the corridors, they were designed in a similar manner
like the rest of Orochimaru's bases, and after destroying over a
hundred of them, you tend to figure out the pattern.
"NO! I don't want too!" I heard someone cry out and immediately I
knew I had to hurry.
"Swift Release: Speed up times 1,000!" I zipped out of existence for the
naked ey, reach the heart of the base. I kicked open the door, it came
flying off in slow motion. I looked inside and saw the twenty people I
sences.
Fifteen of them were bedridden. Five of them weren't, they all had the
headbands of Kusa, Grass, and one of them was a girl with bright red
hair, purple eyes and red framed glasses.
Karin Uzumaki, The Healer
Lv- 54
REP- 0
The four healthy male Kusa ninjas were rough handling her, her arms
were bare and bleeding from bite marks that went all over her arms,
throat, shoulders, legs and even parts of her stomach.
