Chương 143: Chapter 81 - Aurelius
"Big brother...big brother..."
"Big brother..."
He slowly opened his eyes, seeing the sea of gold. He closed them again, tightening his arm around her. She jerked her head up in surprise, calling out to him again, "big brother!"
"Mm," he moaned, "softer."
"Oh," Eve pressed her lips into a smile, gazing at the boy in front of her. She stroked his square jaw. Sir Aransae tried putting his mind inside the body of the strongest ninja they came across, but his mind rejected that body. It wasn't until Sir Aransae had to use the experience of the strongest ninja and his abilities and his DNA to create a new body for him he finally settled down.
She stroked his tanned skin, brushing her fingers through his black hair, gripping the back of his neck until he opened his black eyes. He looked her, gulping. He raised his palm to stroke her cheek, "you are here..."
"Of course I am," Eve whispered.
He closed his eyes, resting his head back against the steep mountain, "Let me rest a little longer before we go..."
"Ok...big brother," Eve rested her head against his chest, smiling.
The two of them left the place where they were an hour later, making their way to the Village Hidden in the Cloud. The gates were well guarded, and there was no way inside if they took the straight path. Eve hid her body in the magical cloak that Aransae gave her to hide and protect herself.
"Who are you two? What do you want?"
"I am... Aurelius."
Eve raised her eyes from under the hood. She looked towards him before she turned to look at the two guards, watching them with their hands inside the bags on their waist.
"This is my little sister," he raised his palm, causing thunder to crackle and spread through his whole body, forcing the two guards to step back.
"LIGHTNING CHAKRA MODE!"
He raised his other palm, clenching his fist, opening it, and black lightning flickered on his palm.
"BLACK LIGHTNING!"
Eve bit her lip. She nearly laughed, seeing the guards take a few steps back, shouting the name of the Jutsus. The surrounding chakra disappeared as he calmly spoke, "I am the Hidden Student of Third Raikage. Please inform my brother that I am here?"
"Y-Y-Your Brother?!"
"Yes. I am also the Son of Third Raikage. Half-brother of current Raikage, A."
"No way! Is this real?!"
"Go, go, go! Tell the Raikage!"
"Just with that," Eve whispered to him. From what she gathered, they were at war, and someone showing up showing two techniques.
"These two Jutsu are Raikage's Secret Techniques. You can't just possess them unless these are granted by the Raikage. Our presence here means either these are stolen. Or we truly are related. Either of which is a cause of worry to say the least."
"Oh," Eve looked at her big brother. When he irresponsibly decided some absurdity that she couldn't even begin to understand. When she thought his mind would be safe, she assumed that he would be safe and right beside her.
But every moment that passed she started to notice how he was slightly different from before. The big brother she was familiar with wouldn't stop and show them the Jutsu's he could handle as a proof legitimacy. He would start by attacking them, forcing their best fighters to come out and challenge him, and only when defeated would he reveal anything.
"Sorry. We can't let you enter, please wait here. Want to sit?"
"No," Aurelius looked at the entrance, then back at the guard. He gave him a smile before taking Eve's hand and started to take a few steps back.
"Please wait!"
"You shouldn't move," Aurelius warned, stepping about nine steps away from the guard, ignoring his and Eve's confused gaze. Though in moments they saw a flash of light, along with the sound of thunder, which crashed exactly where they were standing moments ago.
Eve covered her face, the wind and thunder nearly reached them, stopping a step-in front of them. She glanced towards the guard who fell on his butt, backing away. Her eyes went towards the young man with tucked back blonde hair and a small goatee.
He stood there, covered in a cloak of thunder. He roared, "who are you! Claiming to be my brother! How dare you lie!"
Eve looked towards him, only to see him silently look back at the man, saying nothing. It surely pissed the man off. He disappeared from her sight, roaring by her ear, "I ASKED YOU! WHO YOU ARE!!!"
"Big brother!!" Eve raised her voice, seeing the lightning crackle, but all of it seemed to be avoiding her. No, when she looked closer, black sparks appeared, blocking every bit of lightning that tried to reach her, and only ones that could reach her.
She got distracted when another young man appeared behind him, grabbing his hand and pulling him back, "Brother! Stop! No need for shock!!"
"Let me go, BEE!! I am going to teach this liar a lesson! My father! Third Raikage would never have a child outside the village! Hide him from us!!! And ever pass our Jutsus without even asking!!"
"Oh, if that's the problem," Aurelius grabbed the young man's wrist, clenching it tightly, forcing him to let go. He glanced towards Eve, "Eve, could you remove the hood?"
Eve hesitated, nodding. She removed her hood, making the two of young men freeze in the moment, seeing her golden hair slide down her shoulder. Staring at her lips, watching her slowly raise her deep ruby eyes, giving them a disproving look.
Aurelius put her hood back on, talking to the two stunned men, "she gets her beauty from our mother. Test my blood later. Now, we are going inside. We'll see you when you have accepted the fact."
The two of them kept standing, long until the siblings had gone in, feeling the air flow, hit them and Bee muttered, "Yo, I knew it. Third was a stud, filled with lust~!"
"Shut up, Bee!" Fourth Raikage slammed his fist on his brother's head, marching inside. He rubbed his wrist, "did you see...that was black lightning."
"I saw, I saw, better than Pops and Darui for sure~!"
"That was more than better," Fourth Raikage pulled his cloak, marching forward. He stepped in front of the guard, "Where did they go?"
"Your Office, sir!"
"Tsk! Then you should have followed them!!"
"My apologies!! I'll go right away!"
"AND WHO WILL WATCH THE GAME!"
"I WILL SIR! I'LL STAY RIGHT HERE!"
"Hmph," Fourth Raikage marched away from the guard, all the way to his office where he found the secretary serving them tea.
"GET OUT!"
The secretary bowed, leaving the room, and he stood in front of the sibling, watcher the older one pour tea for the younger one.
"Give me your blood," Fourth Raikage demanded.
"Sure, you can have it if you can cut through my skin," Aurelius nodded, agreeing.
Though it only pissed the Raikage off, who clenched his fist, ready to attack him when his brother stopped him again, "Brother! Brother! Let's stop and hear our brother from another mother!"
"I told you! I am the Raikage now!! Don't call me brother! And you! WHY are you here!"
"He died," Aurelius gestured him to sit, which seemed to continually pissed the Fourth off.
"Are you here to pay your respects?"
"No," Aurelius grabbed the tea cup, taking a sip, "we had little...I had little attachment to him. Eve didn't even know him, and even if she did, it wouldn't have mattered. We share the same mother, not the father."
Fourth furrowed his brows when Aurelius read his thoughts, "No, she wasn't a prostitute. She liked to travel the world, and because of her beauty she never stayed in one place long. Only two men ever managed to make her footsteps pause."
"That's not what I was thinking!"
"Right," Aurelius looked him in the eye, "anyway. He's not the reason we are here."
"Then why?"
"Unlike you, who is clearly very combative. I never cared much for fighting," Aurelius stared at his reflection in the tea, "Books, and knowledge. That was always more my thing. I always wanted to research, but the circumstances were never right. We were always moving from one place to other. I thought about coming here before...but this place was always embroiled in war."
"We are still warring! Why are you here!"
"Two reasons. One, I believe that the war is reaching an end. What is likely to follow is a good stretch of peace. The second reason-"
"I don't need to hear! WE fought for peace and you want to enjoy!"
"Isn't that what citizens do?"
"You are not citizens! You are!"
"Listen. No one is begging you. Hear the second reason," Aurelius stood up, turning his head to look at the world map on the wall. He slid his finger across it, tapping on a land, "Ever went to Land of Demons?"
"No..."
"There was once a Demon who wanted to destroy the world and create a one-thousand-year-old kingdom. He was sealed then, by the Priestess of that time. And then a Shinobi Clan used this Demons Ghost Army, and tried to rule the world. But they were defeated and sealed his army again."
"Hmph, a folklore!"
"Probably. You might have to study that, but you don't have time. The problem is, about three hours ago, something fell from the sky and hit that sealing site in the Land of Swamps. It lit up and went silent. I believe that meteorite somehow broke the seal. I took Eve, can rushed through the countries at full speed to make my way here."
"From there? All the way from here?! You must be fast, my brother from another mother."
"Decent," Aurelius smiled at Bee, tapping the map to bring their attention back, when a shock run through the ground. And his smile disappeared, "that's about the start of it."
"Heh, whatever. It's in the Land of Fire! Let Konoha deal with it!"
"I am afraid that decision will come to bite you," Aurelius furrowed his brows, "I was near the mountain. I sensed the surrounding chakra change. Whatever is coming out of it is far stronger than even the Tailed Beasts."
"You! Have you ever seen a tailed beast!!"
"I have faced the tailed beasts before. I know more about them than you do. Do you even know the name of your tailed beast? Or their origin? I am clear what the tailed beasts are. I am clear what kind of strength they hold, and I am telling you, this thing surpassed that. I suggest you call your people back if they are out and send a warning to other villages."
"WE are not cowards! If there is a fight, then we will fight! Not hide!"
RUMBLING
Aurelius stopped. He started walking towards the edge of the room, standing in front of the floor to ceiling glass. He turned his gaze towards the sky, seeing the visible aurora spread through the sky. It started raining, making him narrow his eyes. He could sense the Dungeon virus spreading on this world, "I'll say it again. Call your people back. This is bigger than you think."
"Hey, brother," Bee nudged the Forth Raikage.
"Don't say it. I know. I'll give the order," Raikage glared at the rain outside, the lights shining on them all, and the rumbling of earth beneath his feet, "What the heck is that thing."
Land of Swamps, Inside Moryo Sealing Mountain,
The scorching lava jumped from the depths of the mountain. Along with dark chakra that moved like snake above the lava, swirling around the centre from where the shock spread. At the centre stood a throne which vibrated from the man punching lightly tapping against the chair.
He stopped tapping, resting his head against the throne. He slowly breathed, resting his palm on his stomach, falling asleep. The Dungeon energy rose from his body, spreading in all directions. It transformed into the shape of monsters, and roars spread out around the mountain.
The chakra spread out on the sky, land and air, transforming the Land of Swamps in the Dungeon Territory. It slowly spread out, encroaching upon this land, with the monsters leading the charge spreading in all directions.
Gods and Devil's Universe,
"Hm," Aransae sat in the Occult Room, feeling the surge of energy he got from the second world. He muttered, "Arcus...Aurelius..."
"Desire to Fight, and Desire to Learn."
"They are incomplete too...like me," Aransae stared at his palms, "I am not even a Desire."
He clasped his palms together, "Desire...I didn't want to be a villain...it wasn't in me."
"That's curious. Because I was so close to the desire of wanting to be a villain. I had a greater grasp on what I truly am."
He climbed to his feet, with Dungeon's energy swirling around his feet, climbing to his back, "all the desires in the Dungeon. To be evil, cruel, to bring forth chaos."
"Dungeon, give them to me," He clenched his fist, causing these desires to rise to his back, and a purple light flickered across the walls of the room. He took a deep breath, feeling the evil inside the Dungeon on his back.
"That's better. Now...what else am I against."
He stepped out of the room, causing the room to dim and darken, "I should take a quick trip to that world. I'd feel a bit more emotions."
