Chương 31: New partner

Almost without touching the water in the full moon, we moved with Conan towards our goal.

Konan, without turning to me, continued to talk, "Our priority is to kill him. The fact that he has a valuable thing is only a nice bonus of two million. But we'll interrogate him first anyway. We penetrate imperceptibly. If it doesn't work, we kill everyone who stands in the way. "

Nodding, I thought about what she said about her abilities. Her ability to manipulate paper was truly intimidating. With the help of it, she could expand the range and create points that resonated with each other. As such, she is literally one of the best sensors I've ever known.

After crossing the river and reaching the prison, we prepared ourselves. Before entering, I decided to clarify.

"We only need the head right?"

"Yes, but first we will interrogate."

Easily overcoming the barriers and stunning the guards, and killing too problematic immediately, we reached the desired corridors.

"Directly. Right. The fourth chamber is similar to the one described. " "Konan had already found the one she needed and was guiding me.

Without showing my real speed, I slowly arrived, raising a mute wind and looking behind the bars into the darkness. Konan raised her hand and a stream of papers burst out of her sleeves that shredded the cage and quietly laid all the pieces of iron. Having entered, we grabbed the right man. Conan wanted to start interrogating him and picked him up, wrapping him completely in paper. The cellmate woke up and wanted to scream, but he was immediately covered with a dense cocoon of paper.

However, I had other plans. Approaching the panicking target, I reached out and gently ripped out his heart. After activating the mangyoku, I used the chakra and directed it to the heart. The entire purple mass went as usual to the body part of the slain as usual. But this time, after the mutation that happened to my eyes, I did not feel the feelings of the murdered. Only his life. Looking at the body, I saw how something enveloped with the white dead body and disappeared. Frowning, having received even more questions than answers, I wanted to check where is that treasure. But Konan's angry voice stopped me.

"I think I told you six times that first, we will interrogate the target. Did you do it on purpose? "

Looking at me with cold eyes, Conan got angry in earnest. I ignored the paper scattered around the room and focused on the heart and looked through the life of this person in 3 seconds.

Was born in the village. The war began, the father was killed. The mother was raped by the ninja in front of the boy. The mother went to the brothel and took her boy with her. It was there that he grew up until one day a client killed his mother. In a rage, he killed everyone in that hotel by poisoning food and drink or simply cutting throat. He joined the gang later and after the death of the leader he himself became the commander of the gang. His gang was once slaughtered by a ninja with red eyes. Since then, he has traveled stealing as a roaming ninja for the sake of finding these ninjas, not for revenge, but in order to take their power. And then one day he learned that the merchant had red eyes. Having learned that this was a Sharingan, he stole it but did not take into account that he would be caught for this, and now he has been rotting here in prison for a month.

Having finished watching that left an unpleasant aftertaste, I remembered the place where he hid his eye.

Throwing back a heart that continued to beat, I looked at Konan coldly. I took so many lives in recent years, and all as one were absorbed in this circle of hatred. Violence, murder. This world is like a child, until he knows the pain he can not grow up. But even after knowing her, he does not grow further on evolving. He needs a much more serious push. Ninja will continue to indulge their desires and turn children into criminals and marauders.

Turning to Konan I just said.

"I know where the treasure is. I read it from his mind, it's my technique when I kill them. Go forward."

Conan was taken aback but decided to check and followed me.

When I got out of the prison I ran in front, leading Konan. There were many thoughts in my head. One of which is to stop being selfish and change this rotten world. The pain path will be effective, but there are other paths. I need to think about this later.

Having reached the desired burned-down village, I went to one house and broke through the basement door and went inside. With a stick in a pile of rags, I took out a bag. There were no traps, and stretching out the jar from the top and bottom with a gilded wooden stand, I looked inside. An activated Sharingan floated inside.

"Now I believe you. You should have said earlier that you can do it. " Konan said.

Taking the eye, we went to a meeting with the employer. Having handed over the head and the eye to him, we received the money. It was already morning but there was no sleep in either eye. Raising my head while standing on a tall tree, I closed my eyes and listened to the forest. To the singing of birds, the rustling of trees. Pacifying ...

Konan stood aside and did not interfere, only observed and analyzed.

"Konan, I forgot to ask where is my cloak?"

"We didn't have a cloak of your height. Even though you are only half a meter shorter than me, nevertheless, a new cloak was needed. You will have it done later. "

I nodded my head and turned to her and asked

"What now? We have fulfilled the mission given to us. "

"Usually at this time we are looking for another mission or doing our own business. Unless the other team needs help. "

"What is the real purpose of our organization?"

Squinting, Konan asked in response: "At our first meeting, we already told you our goals and how achievable they are. Are you saying we lied to you? "

"There wasn't a drop of lies. But. For me, part of the truth is like a lie. It is convenient not to say the main goal, isn't it? "

"If you really want to talk about it and find out what you want, even if you're so smart… You're not talking to a leader, but with me. Pain will answer your question if you ask him. Why do you think that we have another goal?"

Having arranged a duel of views, we stood opposite each other.

"Gathering a group of strong people with different motives, desires and personalities is quite difficult. Unless the leader is someone really strong and his ambition can really shake the will of others. Then these people will want to be with someone as strong as they are, making their own profit. I am sure each of them is driven by this desire. But that's not why you're with Pain. So why are you in the organization? "

Konan didn't answer for a long time, as if pondering my words.

"Because this is my desire and nothing more. On this our paths diverge, I have to go. We will meet the day after tomorrow evening for a meeting there.

Jumping towards the country of rain, she flew away at high speed.

With a grin, I decided to go home and experiment with new seals or just relax.

The days passed very quickly until Tuesday's meeting time. Being outside the mountain of the sage eagle, I found a tree and, sitting down, closed my eyes and folded the seals.

I felt like I could see everyone else as if I had just not been to a tree. The place was in a cave. And looking around I saw a familiar statue.

"Now that all the members have arrived, I will introduce you to a new member of the organization. Orochimaru. "

Widening my eyes, I looked at Orochimaru, who was standing along with Pain, who smiled while looking at Itachi. I tried hard to remember the canon. Didn't Orochimaru come before Kisame? Why is he here now?

I didn't take my eyes off him, frowning.

"I will also change teams. Conan will be with me. Orochimaru will be with the Cat. And.."

After listing the new missions, we grabbed them memorizing information. Orochimaru had a disgruntled face as if in kindergarten he was not imprisoned for his purpose.

"Ke-ke-ke Kitty-kun let's meet near the Temple of Harukani on the peninsula of the land of fire. I'll wait for you there. "

With a nod of my head, I remembered where it was and planned the route I remembered something else. Almost everyone left, only Pain, Zetsu and Konan remained.

"Wasn't Konan my partner why did you change their mind so suddenly?"

"I cannot be your partner because I don't want to leave this country except in emergencies. I have too much to do here. " - she answered

With a nod, I turned in disappointment towards Pain. Fortunately, my face was not visible behind the mask. Trying to forget that adorable nude Conan figurine from my collection, I switched to clothes.

"Where is my cloak?"

"Cloack and several copies are already ready and are at our main base in the Land of Rain. Come there. "

Having changed the route for me in my head, the first thing I did was to pick up my raincoats. They are too cool and without them, I run feeling naked.

After leaving their technique, I checked the surroundings and, not finding any problems, ran towards the raincoats.

After four hours, I finally arrived at the meeting point with Orochimaru. Not seeing him anywhere, I straightened my hat hiding my face, and unbuttoned the top button of my cloak, put my hand as if on a stand. Leaning against a tree, I began to wait. I didn't have to wait long and, chopping off the trees, carrying destruction behind it, a blade swept aiming at my head. Moving my head to the left slightly, I dodged the blade and looked at Orochimaru who, opening his mouth, was pulling back the blade.

"I am very sorry about the attack, but I have to get rid of you. You were not part of my plans."

In a black cloak with clouds, it was no longer Konoha Sanin who looked like me.

"A thousand snakes!" - folding the seals, Orochimaru launched an attack.

Pulling out a wedge, I put chakra into it and gave it free rein. The blade trembled barely noticeably and, rushing from side to side, I inflicted hundreds and hundreds of blows, dismembering the snake and jumping towards the real Orochimaru, pierced him underground. But as expected, it would have been too easy and Orochimaru, crawling out like a snake from the ground, shook himself off.

"Eh, I thought it would be so easy. I'll have to get a little more serious."

"I already warned you that if you try to kill me I will destroy your dimension. You asked for it yourself. "

Activating my eyes, I removed the blade and headed into a hand-to-hand fight. With each touch, I felt that if I hit the same point 4 more times, I could magnetize it. But Orochimaru began to suspect that the exchange of blows was strange. I had no intention of the vital organs. Deciding that it was enough, I waved my hand as if pulling a whip. Orochimaru screamed but did not slow down his attacks. With a flash, he jumped at me and began to shower with blows of legs and arms trying to get into the head. By focusing on the dodge, I was able to parry most of his punches. Finally starting to get tired, I switched to sage mode. Now the point has shifted again. Due to Orochimaru's strong will, I couldn't just pull out the purple mass. It was like slime returning to its place, but Orochimaru still suffered from it moving every movement.

Orochimaru threw a black snake at me which I burned with fire and folded the seals.

"Summoning technique!"

Two voices screamed. A giant blue snake appeared and, noticing the food, immediately roared at it, ignoring Orochimaru standing on it, breaking the forest and part of the Temple from which the surviving people began to flee.

Wansai, seeing the situation, instantly took real shape and fly up. Having jumped on him, I began to make complex seals and straining my lungs spat out a stream of water that, like a waterfall, due to the abundance of chakra, began to fall on the snake from below and drown the trees.

Wansai saw the plan immediately realized what I wanted.

"Water Wave!"

"Heaven Strike!"

Using combinations we poured out chakra and natural energy by flooding the forest and roasting everything with lightning. Orochimaru stood on one of the trees, watching the water sinking underground and his summoned beast convulsed.

Jumping onto a tree not far from him, leaving Wansai flying over me, I stared at Orochimaru's face, twisted with anger.

"And I warned you. Now you can't leave. "

Saying this to his face, I slowly brought my hand to my face, clasping the mask. Reaching out with my fingers and thumb to the holders, I snapped them and slowly removed the mask, revealing first the Mangyoku Sharingan and then a vicious grin.

"AHAHAHAHAHA so it was you all this time. Just think I came for Itachi's eyes, but now there is you !!! " Orochimaru burst out laughing as if he were mad. But I didn't attack because he was smart enough not to open up like that.

Having folded the seals in a split second, I gathered steam from the air around me and added my chakra.

"Water spear!"

The water drill flew and fell right in the middle of the path. Orochimaru grinned when he saw the failed technique, but when he saw a confident grin, he immediately jumped to another tree. Drill blow to the roots, tearing the tree, which instantly tilted 90 degrees due to the explosion of a water drill. If Orochimaru had stayed, he would have lost his footing and died.

Coming together again in close combat, we exchanged blows without sparing our bodies. Even with a hardened body, I could feel pain in my legs and arms while blocking Orochimaru's punches. Deciding not to play anymore, I pulled out the blade and accelerated. By aiming at the hands, I was able to cut off Orochimaru's fingers and immediately began a series of attacks at his vital points. Orochimaru opened his mouth and ignored the sword that sliced through him and spat out a stream of poison at me. Stopping half way, I instantly dodged the attack.

And for good reason. The poison melted the stone and wood below.

After descending, I ran in the opposite direction in a circle, leaving the zone of impact of Orochimaru's blade, that pierced everything behind me deforming forest, giving myself time to perform the water cutter technique.

The water thread that I released separated the treetops and cut vertically Orochimaru. Realizing that I had killed him, I stopped breathing heavily. Suddenly, from behind me, black and white snakes grabbed me from top to bottom, which did not even allow me to move my tired muscles.

"Just thinking that you have become so strong Renjiro-kun, it was an entertaining battle, but , it is over for you now."

Having said this, he stepped out from behind the tree and stretched out his hand to my eyes, hoping to take them away.

"Are you so sure about that? How about the second round? "

Orochimaru heard a voice from everywhere. Suddenly the world began to lose color and shrink. Everything turned into darkness and there was a flash.

Again he stood in a tree and looked into red eyes.

Without taking off the mask further from my eyes, I put it back on.

"Now I know how you move. Your attacks are like a book I read to me. Tell me what is it like to fight with the air? " I asked him.

Orochimaru was breathing hard, realizing that he was caught in the genjutsu in my eyes and that he was fighting a non-existent me. His reality changed and became my illusion. Sometimes it's so easy to play with the feelings of people, even if they ceased to be them.

Pouring chakra into my eyes, I strained my eyes and, with a roar, enveloped myself in violet chakra that slowly began to take on a semi-shape. First, the bones began to grow purple muscles. Having formed a blade in my hand, without waiting for the armor to form, I waved horizontally towards Orochimaru who, staring angrily at the skeleton, began to dodge and run in the opposite direction. Trees in the flames were cut down like grass. By sending shock waves one after another, I realized that Orochimaru would leave like that due to my inexperience in managing Sussano. Having canceled the chakra, I returned my eyes to the usual sharingan and rushed towards the lake which Orochimaru jumped. A lot of snakes surfaced and began to emit chakra, preventing me from finding the real Orochimaru. Without delay, I raised my head and shouted.

"Wansai attack the lake !!!!"

Without waiting for his attack, I poured part of the chakra and, directing it into my hand, I released a stream of lightning that hitting the lake began to fry everything that was there until crunchy. A stream of lightning descended from the sky that added a spark. Wated boiled and was sparking from our attack.

"Hey, and that snake finally died, can i eat it?"

Wansai came down beside me and asked, realizing that the battle was over.

Looking around, I looked at Orochimaru's already decaying smoking summoning snake.

With a wave of my hand, I smiled although under the mask I could not see.

"Take it, okay, I need to go and find myself a new partner. Come back home and thank you for your help. "

Wansai roared with pride.

"Thank you also, I finally gave this snake a chance to fry."

Without becoming to specify which one he flew to the dead snake 40 meters in length and grabbing it with his claws took off he disappeared. I took off my mask and wiped my face from sweat and decided to go to the hot springs before returning to Akatsuki's base.

What a day...
