Chương 358: Obstacle in the way
No one knew where this was coming from. They didn't expect Yami to use such harsh words and that too in front of the Kazekage and an elder of the village.
Kakashi put one hand on Yami's should and turned his face towards him and asked "Yami, what are you saying? What has gotten into you?"
'I expect something like this from Naruto's mouth but I never thought Yami would say this. Did I misjudge his emotions all these years?' Kakashi thought and expected to see sympathy or some kind of anger in Yami's eyes after what he just said but his eyes were cold as ever. There wasn't an ounce of emotion in it.
Yami pushed Kakashi's hand away gently and looked around. Seeing the shocked faces of his teammates and elder Chiyo, he said "I am not ranting about the hidden sand or expressing any kind of anger towards it. The other great villages have done something similar to this in the past few decades or maybe even worse. What I am trying to say is this is the kind of world we live in and the faster you accept it the better. Having naive thoughts of fairness and justice is an idiot's dream."
Elder Chiyo stood up in anger to scold Yami but she could not refute a single thing Yami said. She knew that Yami was right and she herself had her fair share of involvement in committing such heinous deeds from creating deadly poisons to sealing the one-tailed beast inside Gaara.
Just as Yami was about to say his final sentence and leave, Naruto walked in front of him and said "I will change it. If this is how the world has functioned for the past few decades then I will make sure that it changes in the coming decades when I become Hokage."
'I hope Naruto and Yami don't get into a debate or even a fight.' Sakura thought as she saw Naruto with his always confident and determined expression looking at Yami.
Yami just shrugged and said "Even if you do become Hokage and manage to turn the hidden leaf into a dream village like you want, what about the other villages?"
Kakashi and Guy expected Yami to make fun of Naruto's declaration of becoming Hokage but to the contrary, Yami easily accepted that.
As for Yami's question naruto didn't have any kind of answer and he could only stutter "I-I don't know that but I will try to do something."
Yami looked at Kakashi and said "I think we should leave now. The weather here is too unpredictable."
Elder Chiyo also stood up and said "He is right...we should not delay this any longer. As long as there is no sandstorm, we should cover as much distance as possible. According to what I understand from this map, it will take us 4-5 hours at maximum speed to reach there."
'The feral old lady suddenly became tame? Yami's words must have really stabbed her through.' Kakashi thought as he nodded. Everyone who was going on the mission was already there with their luggage.
Within the next 5 minutes, everyone started their journey from the hidden sand. Except for Karin and Neji, all the leaf shinobis took part in the mission. Since Sakura had already made the antidote, Karin only had to nurse them all back to full health with the help of the hidden sand doctors. From the hidden leaf, Gaara along with Temari and Elder Chiyo took part in the mission. Gaara didn't want Elder to take part but he knew that she wouldn't want to miss meeting her grandson even if it is as his enemy.
Luckily for the group, there was no sandstorm heading their way. Just an hour into the journey, Gaara suddenly shouted "Stop"
He and Elder Chiyo were at the forefront of the entire group since they knew the desert like the back of their hand.
"What's the matter?" Temari asked as she looked at her brother who was now staring at an empty cliff nearby.
Gaara pointed towards that cliff and said "I sense some people in that direction. The energy they are giving off doesn't seem good and I doubt there would be anyone staying in the middle of the desert."
"We don't have Neji now or else he would have seen it with his byakugan" Yami said as he tried to sense the enemy.
"And who is to blame for that?" Sasuke smiled as he nudged his little brother.
Yami swiped his hand and a blade of air flew towards the cliff ready to cut it but just as it was about to reach the cliff, a purple sword intervened and countered the blade. Everyone present there immediately recognized who this enemy was.
"Kisame Hoshigaki." Kakashi said.
"Another Akatsuki member? Judging by that sword, he must be one of the seven mist swordsmen and wielder of Shark skin." Elder Chiyo said ready to pull out her puppets.
"Careful everyone, I sensed multiple people. I am sure he isn't alone. Try to stay together until we are faced with all of them." Gaara said stretching his hand to stop anyone from rushing toward Kisame.
Kisame with his razor-like shark teeth smiled and said "Like I promised...I have delivered Yami Uchiha to you. Now help me get rid of them."
Just as Kisame said that...a man in his 40s wearing a pointed hat and having black and white makeup on his face walked beside Kisame. 8-10 people also revealed themselves and jumped down from the cliff looking at Yami with bloodshot eyes.
Yami and some others recognized them easily. "Yami I thought you got rid of all the cultists...looks like you let some slip." Lee whispered.
Yami gave him the side eye and whispered "It's not like they have some like of a census that will let me know of their exact size. But guessing that this man whoever it is came this far to kill me, he must be the last branch of that rotten tree.
The man stepped forward and shouted "You killed my nephew Ji in the hidden mist and so this Bishop is here to avenge his death."
Kakashi pointed at Yami and said "He was also the one to kill all the other Jashin Cult members and the spies that were spread out."
As the Bishop and the cultists heard that, they became more enraged. Purple characters on the cultists and the bishop started glowing.
Guy looked at Kakashi and asked "Kakashi, what was that for?"
Kakashi waved his hand and said "Trust your student Guy, he can handle them. We should focus on Kisame."
"Yami do you need my help?" Sasuke asked to which Yami shook his head and said "No...Let me burn this rotten tree to the end. I also want to see how strong a bishop is face to face." Yami then rushed toward the cultists who had jumped down the cliff.
"Is he planning to fight without his sword?" Sakura ask seeing that Yami hadn't unsheathed his sword and neither was his hand on the handle.
"The brat is looking down on them. He sure is confident." Elder Chiyo said.
"It will also be a good test to see how much he has progressed in the past 2 years." Guy said looking at his prodigal student with excited eyes.
"KILL HIM...BRING ME HIS HEART AS SACRIFICE" The bishop shouted riling up the cultists even more. The muscles of the cultists started expanding and veins started to pop out and be visible through their skin as if their bodies were running in overdrive.
"Wow, you guys are doing something new this time." Yami said as he straightened his hand and covered it with Lightning chakra.
Lightning Blade
Yami shouted and swiped the blade at one of the oversized cultists. Yami's aim was to sever one of the legs but due to the sudden increase in overall size, he ended up making a deep cut near the cultist's waist.
Yami quickly stopped and looked back to see how much damage it did. To everyone's surprise, the wound started healing on its own and at a tremendous speed. There was no leftover scar or anything where the wound was.
"Yami's attack was healed so easily?" Sakura asked in shock.
"The wound was deep but the cultist still managed to heal it. Sensei should we jump in?" Naruto asked.
"No...Your brother must be just testing the waters now so that he knows how much power to use and what their weakness is.
The cultist turned back and looked at Yami with a malicious smile on his face and said "I am going to crush your skull brat."
The bishop also laughed and said "Your attacks won't work on my men kid. They are invincible to physical attacks. They are UNKILLLABE"
Yami looked at the bishop with a smile and said "With enough power no one is unkillable." Yami then snapped his fingers.
