Chương 393: Annoying Curse Mark

Zabuza swung his sword toward Tayuya's back. He was going for a serious injury and Tayuya knew that she wouldn't be able to defend herself. Just when Zabuza thought that the outcome was decided, a white substance came flying towards him. He looked to the side while swinging his sword. On one side he could see blood splatter in the air which meant that his sword had made contact with Tayuya's body. He wasn't very cautious about the white substance because it didn't seem too dangerous. As the substance came near it started to spread. 

Confused by what was happening, Zabuza stopped his sword slash midway and swung his sword to block the white substance. He expected some kind of impact but instead of that, he felt restrained. He looked up and saw the white substance had stuck to his sword, and his arms and had enveloped his body. 

"What the hell is this? Is it some kind of spider web?" Zabuza muttered as he saw a curse mark activated Kidomaru run toward him. Kidomaru swung his leg putting all his strength and kicked Zabuza's sword horizontally pushing Zabuza back towards a tree. Before Zabuza could even react, Kidomaru spit another ball of web attaching Zabuza to the tree.

"This curse mark is really becoming a bane of my existance." Zabuza said angrily. First the illusions of Tayuya and now this. Kidomaru who now that six arms protruding from his sides, aimed at Zabuza's head with bow and arrow."

He was about to stretch the bow to attack Zabuza but he looked to the side and saw Tayuya who was hanging between life and death. Kidomaru clicked his tongue in annoyance and using two of his spare arms, picked up Tayuya and threw her over his shoulder. 

"Tayuya stay awake…we are going to get out of this." Kidomaru said as he took and few steps back and then turned around to run away. 

"Dammit, Yami is going to grill me for not being able to deal with even one of them." Zabuza said in frustration as he used a water style jutsu to cut the webs. 

"Don't worry you aren't alone who failed." Sasuke said as he walked toward Zabuza. He had multiple injuries on his body and his clothes were also somewhat torn.

"What happened to you?? Were your opponents also tough?" Zabuza asked with a light smile on his face. He wasn't feeling too bad anymore after hearing that Sasuke had also failed. 

"The one who was using his own bones as weapons kept me at bay while the meathead became too hard to handle after using his curse mark. But still I managed to sever the meathead's left arm and heavily injured the bone guy. I am sure that Orochimaru won't be able to transfer his soul into that guy's body anytime soon. I would've won if it wasn't for the third guy?" 

"Third guy? Who…? I thought you were fighting with only two of them."Zabuza asked.

"I don't know some savage with orange hair jumped in. He was also using curse seal but and his fighting style was also wild. The bone guy called him Jugo. I am going to kill him first the next time we meet." Sasuke said.

"Let's go see what Yami is doing." Zabuza said as they both started running toward the direction Yami had went in.

As they went further, they saw multiple sound shinobi corpses fallen on the ground. "They all seemed to be killed in a single attack. It must be Yami's doing." 

They continued their walk and saw Yami standing under a tree and Haku sitting beside him covered in sweat.

"What happened? Where did that Akatsuki guy go?" Zabuza asked as he looked around. 

"H..He left empty handed today. He was chasing me while I-I kept dodging him with my mirrors and Yami was chasing him. I-It was like a game of cat and mouse." Haku said while breathing heavily.

Zabuza looked at Yami who was staring at the sky. He approached Yami slowly and said "I am sorry, we failed to even kill one of the main guys." Zabuza said as he looked a little down.

"Yami…its not our fault. The curse mark that they have is really something. It not just increased their overall strength but also gave new powers." Sasuke justified as he stepped forward. Even after being the elder brother and sharing the same blood, Sasuke couldn't guess a single thought that was going through Yami's mind. 

Yami looked at his brother and then at Zabuza as he asked "Are the injuries you both have serious?" 

Both of them instantly shook their head saying no. Yami held Haku's arm and made him stand up…He turned in the direction of the village and said "Big brother, draft a letter about everything except these two and send it to Lady Tsunade." 

"What? Why? Didn't we perform this misson while sidelining Lady Tsunade's mission? She will be furious at us." Sasuke said. He wasn't wrong…Tsunade had entrusted them with an S ranked mission and here they were picking a fight they were never supposed to have.

"Don't worry about that. Tell her that we came across a few missing kids and decide to investigate. We managed to face Orochimaru and he ran away along with his subordinates. Also mention that we have kept him busy till the Kage meeting get finished so that's one variable the hidden leaf needs to worry about short term." Yami iterated as he started walking.

"That makes this mission sound like a win." Sasuke said happy with his brother's shrewdness.

"Where are we going now?" Haku asked to which Yami turned back and said "Right now we are going back to the bath house to tend to your wounds. After that you two go back to the village and take care of the villagers until I give you further orders. Sasuke you will go on your way to carry out the S ranked mission given to you and so will I." 

Seeing that Yami wasn't too pissed about not gaining any major victory in this fight, Zabuza and Sasuke sighed in relief and followed Yami. The 4 of them went back to the bathhouse where a chinoike clan member tended to the injuries. All the while Yami didn't say anything. After a few hours, Yami left and headed towards the Hidden Stone Village.

Sasuke who needed a few more stiches than others due to the bone, rested for 3 more hours. His mission was way simple as the Hidden mist was already an ally. He wrote the letter like Yami had asked him to and sent it to the hidden leaf.

For the next half a day Yami travelled in disguise as he crossed different lands to reach the hidden stone village. This was a village he had never visited before nor had he seen it in the anime. He crossed the hidden waterfall village and even picked up a few clothes and trinklets to make him look like a tourist. He removed his headband and hid his sword as well. He just kept a small dagger in his clothes as protection which everyone normally keep. 

As he reached the hidden stone, he saw that the entire village was encased by a wall made of stone and the village was safe inside. As he reached near the gate, he saw many carriages and people lining up. They were being checked one by one by the guards standing at the gate. 

Yami looked around and saw a small carriage only managed by two people. It wasn't a luxary carriage but one to transport goods. Since they looked a little new at this, Yami approached them and asked "Are you two looking to make a little more money?" 

The man at the front of the carriage looked to the side toward Yami and asked "What do you mean sir? 

The other person immediately ran in front of Yami and said "Big brother…why ask unnecessary things. Sir, please tell us what we need to do." 

Yami smiled as he noticed the greedy attitude of the 2nd person. He pulled out his money bag and dangled it in front of the 2nd person. "All you need to do is get me in. If asked, tell them that we three are business partners and are going to the village for business. There is no need to know more." 

The 2nd person immediately took the money pouch and opened it to look at the money. The spark in his eyes got brighter as he looked at it. He immediately closed the pouch and shoved it inside his pocket. "Please sit on the carriage sir…We will take care of the rest." The 1st brother tried to stop him but the greedy one wasn't gonna let go of so much money.

After waiting for 10-15mins it was their chance to go inside. 2 guards approached the carriage and started asking questions. The 2nd brother continued to sweet talk the guards.

"Alright let them in." The guard signaled the other guards as the carriage moved forward.

Chương 394: The Hidden Stone Village

As the carriage entered the Hidden Stone village, Yami looked around and saw the atmosphere of the village. It was very different than the Hidden Leaf. Stone shinobis were roaming around the streets maintaining order and everything was made of stone. There wasn't much greenery to see but the people looked happy.

'The Hidden Stone has never been invaded and they have mostly been the initiators of attacks rather than being the victims so it is obvious that they aren't facing much problems here. The only problem with them is that just like the Hidden Sand, they are extremely short on resources, and that is why have to get them from other lands.' Yami thought. He was still sitting on the carriage. The carriage took a few turns and stopped inside an empty warehouse. 

"Sir, this is a safe place. You can go on your way from here and no one will notice you." The 2nd person said but then he and Yami both heard a shout.

"NO…you ain't going anywhere." 

As they looked in the direction of the sound, they saw it was the Big Brother with an axe in his hand.

"Big brother, what do you think you are doing?" the 2nd person asked to which the man replied "He gave you so much money to just get him in which means that he doesn't hold any good intentions toward our village. And you have helped such a person get in?" 

"Stop overreacting like that big bro. Everyone in this world looks out for themselves and with this money, we can't just clear our debt but also get new goods to sell." The 2nd person said showing the money pouch as a way to entice his brother with the deal.

"We will do it but not today. I gotta stop this man before he does something." The big brother said firmly as he started to walk toward Yami but just as both the brothers were looking at Yami at the same time, Yami activated his Sharingan. 

Even though Yami was called the Genjutsu demon, he hardly used Genjutsu because he thought that if someone can't even match up in strength, why waste chakra with illusions and mind games?

The next second, both the brothers stood in front of Yami as if in a genjutsu.

"It was only you two who came on this carriage. You have been hired by a man who looks like me to escort me out of the hidden stone till the hidden land of hot water. This pouch filled with money is the entire payment for the mission." Yami iterated expecting them to believe what was just told to them.

 The two brothers suddenly felt that they had woken up from a sleep.

"Huh? Oh, it's our warehouse. Sir, who are y…." the 1st brother was about to ask when he saw the money pouch and remembered that he and his brother just made a deal. 

"Yes Sir, you told us that you needed us to escort you from here to the land of hot water. Can you give more details like when are you leaving and why have you hired us of all people?" the 1st brother asked. While this was happening, the 2nd brother stood to the side without uttering a single word. It was as if the entire deal was done by the 1st brother which assured Yami that the genjutsu was successful and the effect of this would last for days.

"I don't know when I will be done with my work. But if it is done within the next 5 days then we will need to leave. I am just hiring you because you need to be ready to leave at a moment's notice." Yami said which convinced the big brother to a certain extent. It made sense to pay someone for such special service and since the brothers didn't have much to do, they could always be ready to go when Yami came to them.

"I will take my leave now." Yami said as he left the warehouse. He went to the market and got mixed in with the crowd so that no one would see him as a suspicious character. He could've used his summons or genjutsu to get inside the hidden stone but if some skilled guard spots the genjutsu or the hidden stone has some countermeasures in place against certain jutsus, Yami could alert the entire village. With that, it would become hard to approach the Tsuchikage. 

'I know the Tsuchikage Onoki won't take kindly to me sneaking inside his village but he isn't a completely unreasonable man. With a little wit and show of force, I might be able to make him listen. First things first let's make contact with the old man. It's not like I have ample amount of time to gather intel and then make a plan to act on it.' Yami thought as he headed toward the big building in the center of the village. It was obvious that this building was the place where the Tsuchikage would sit. 

As Yami was casing the big building, he saw a familiar face. It wasn't a face he knew after coming here but someone from the canon. It was none other than the current Tsuchikage's granddaughter and the future Tsuchikage, Kurotsuchi.

She was accompanied by 2 shinobis with whom she kept arguing about something. Yami decided to follow the group for a few minutes to see where it led. He knew that if he needed to pinpoint the old coot's location, only his granddaughter could do it.

As he was following, he could overhear what they were talking. His hyper-sensitive ears due to being a bat summon didn't need any kind of chakra so there wasn't much risk. The only trouble would be excluding all the other sounds. 

"Why is he being so stubborn?" Kurotsuchi said in an annoyed tone.

"Miss Kurotsuchi, you need to understand. Now is not the time to go off the rails and confront the Akatsuki." A shinobi standing beside her explained. 

"But how can we just let Deidara be when he caused so much destruction and death while leaving our village? I was there…I have witnessed the chaos he caused because of his madness and I won't rest until I bring him to justice. When did our village adopt such cowardice?" Kurotsuchi said as she folded her hands in anger and picked up her pace. 

"This isn't cowardice but simply waiting for the right opportunity. We ourselves have employed the Akatsuki a few times to do our bidding and we know the power they hold but not the full extent of it. Attacking an enemy without knowing their full strength would be considered as recklessness and Lord Tsuchikage would never make such a mistake."

"Hmph… Grandpa has gotten old now and his back aches the whole time. I wonder if he can even fight. He needs to let someone young take over so that they can take gutsy decisions. Look at the other villages, the hidden leaf of which everyone is so jealous about, they not only managed to shield themselves from the Akatsuki's attack but they also helped the Hidden Sand when the Akatsuki attacked and took the fight to their hideout. Even the hidden cloud village whom we consider a mutually beneficial ally, has managed to kill an Akatsuki member." Kurotsuchi went on a rant about the Akatsuki. By the time the talks had come to this, Kurotsuchi and the 2 shinobis had reached a residential area. It seemed a little high rise as compared to the ones Yami saw when he entered.

'These residential areas must be for the clans that is why they seem in such a better state.' Yami thought. He couldn't go much further without getting noticed because the number of stone shinobis in this area was high. 

Yami looked around and saw a few young shinobis enter a diner that was meant for shinobis and commoners alike. He entered the diner and saw that most of the people there were drinking alcohol and were busy in themselves. Yami went to the washroom and waited for someone useful to enter. This was the only place he could find where not many people came. 

'The hidden mist was much more easy to infiltrate due to the forests and vast lands but this village is inside closed walls and heavily guarded by the shinobis of this village. The Tsuchikage really controls every aspect of the village and I don't know how much they have progressed regarding the stone golems so it's better not to sneak in as a commoner.' Yami thought as he heard a man walk in. The man seemed to be a stone shinobi who was very drunk and decided to come here and puke. As he was spilling his guts in the sink, Yami sneaked in behind him and knocked him down.

'Dammit, I can't even kill this one.' Yami said as he dragged the unconscious shinobi to the toilet booth in the corner.
