Chương 37: Kubirikiribocho

Yone was eating Kushina's cooking while Kushina and Hori were watching him when Yone notices that Kushina was looking at him worried making him say, "Hori, can you leave me and your sister to talk alone."

"I already know about who you are Dad. I would be an idiot to not know that you are the Slaughterer of Tsuchi and Kaze since the only person in this world with a Gunblade is you," says Hori making Yone choke on the food for a moment.

Kushina rapidly gave Yone a glass of water, Yone drank the water rapidly before saying, "Since when did you know?"

"Since it was brought up in history class. The other two might not have found out since they weren't really interested in history class," says Hori coldly making Yone sigh before giving up on making Hori leave the room.

"What do you want, Kushina?" asks Yone as he placed the glass on the table.

"I am here to ask you to not go to war with Kumogakure. We established peace not too long ago. If you go there the peace will be over and the Fourth Shinobi War would start. Do you want your grandson to participate in war as you and I did?" says Kushina seriously as Yone closed his eyes.

He began to think hard about it before he opened his eyes and says, "I won't start a war but I will give the Raikage a message that he will never forget if he is involved in this matter."

"Will you kill him?" asks Hori curiously but still in a cold tone.

"Why would I give him a message if I wanted to kill him. I will just make him understand that messing with Konoha is suicide," says Yone looking at his son in disbelief when Kushina sighs in relief while Hori sighs as well but not in the same tone as Kushina making Yone feel a bit that he went astray in raising his youngest son.

"I am for it if you want to give the Raikage a small scare. It might bring a bit of tension between both villages but it is better than starting a war," says Kushina happy that her father wasn't thinking of starting a war.

"You know that the battle would only take a day if Dad would start the war when he is inside the enemy village," says Hori stating a fact about their father.

"Those days are long gone, Hori. I don't want to return to those dark days," says Yone sounding sad as he was holding onto the glass firmly before it broke in his hands because of his bad memories.

"Nothing good comes out of a war. It only corrupts the best of us by bringing hatred into our hearts. Have you read the book your uncle Jiraiya has written? You should always attempt to be a Shinobi as the main character of that book, " says Yone to them making them feel emotional.

"But don't become a fool and get killed out there. There are people out there that can take advantage of you because of it," says Yone breaking the mood he created a moment ago.

"You can sometimes really be a...," says Kushina before she stopped since she respected her father too much to insult him at the moment.

"Mood-Killer," says Hori saying out loud what Kushina wanted to say.

"Hori," says Kushina a bit angry with her younger brother for finishing her sentence but Yone only began to laugh out loud confusing the two.

"It seems, I was worried for nothing all those years," says Yone happily as he looked at Hori and Kushina feeling happy that they didn't reject him after finding out who he really was.

"You will always be our funny and warmful Dad," say Kushina and Hori at the same time.

"And you all will be my cheerful and energetic children," says Yone as he petted their heads.

"Come on, Dad, we are adults already," says Kushina embarrassed but she felt happy since she could feel her father's warmth coming from it.

"As said before, I will always see you as my little children," says Yone warmly as he stops petting their heads.

"Anyway, what has Minato found out from the Kumo Shinobi?" asks Yone curious about it while collecting the broken pieces of the glass.

"*sighs* It was confirmed by the Yamanaka Clan that the Raikage was involved in the matter," says Kushina relieved since Yone said that he wouldn't kill the Raikage and just give him a big scare.

"Then it seems that I will be meeting the Raikage soon," says Yone in a dark tone making Kushina look at him nervous.

"You said that you won't kill him," says Kushina nervously as Yone nods at her.

"I won't kill him," says Yone seriously as he wouldn't go back on his word.

"But I will make him second guess every move he will do from then on. He won't be able to trust his own men after I am done with him," says Yone as he finished picking the broken pieces from the table.

He stands up and walks to the kitchen where he throws it away while placing his plate in the sink. He then passes Kushina and Hori before he stops at the stairs.

"Hori put your armor on. You will be joining me. We will make the Raikage understand that he messed with the wrong family," says Yone making Hori smile since he was allowed to join him in this matter.

"Kushina, if someone asks where we are you tell them that we are camping outside strengthening our father-son bond," says Yone as he walks the stairs up before going to his room.

Hori followed his example going towards his room to get his stuff. Yone opened his closet which has several seals placed on it. He unseals some of them before opening some of the compartments revealing his Gunblade and Katana as well as his armor and clothes that won't burn off because of his flames.

He puts them on and places the Gunblade on his back and his Katana on his hip before closing the closet again. He walks down and finds his son in wearing the standard Senju Armor in the color Ice Blue with a sword that he obtained in the last war.

"The Kubirikiribocho, better known as the Executioner's Blade. I thought you gave it back to Kirigakure after the war ended," says Yone looking at one of the Seven Sword of the Hidden Mist.

"I transformed a normal sword into it and sent it back. It seems that they still haven't found out since I put a lot of chakra into the jutsu," says Hori as he puts the sword on his back.

"Let's us hope they never find out," says Kushina worried as she knew that tension between Konoha and Kiri would appear if this incident were to come out.

Yone was carrying a small sack with needs they would need over his left shoulder while Hori was carrying it around his torso when they walk towards the door.

"Remember, we are going camping," says Yone to Kushina before they leave the house.

"I will tell the others," says Kushina worried if the others will believe her when they see the two on the streets.

They leave the house together and Yone petted Chibi who was protecting the house at the moment before they walk away. Yone and Hori walked down the street casually since it was normal to see Ninjas walking around in full battle gear since an emergency could happen at any moment.

Sakumo and Hiruzen were already waiting for the father-son duo at the entrance gate. They both know Yone better than Minato who was still in his office dealing with his work.

"Kushina told you?" asks Hiruzen seriously as he places his pipe on his lips.

"She has," says Yone as he looked at both his friend and one of his mentors.

"Then you know that we can't let you leave the village," says Sakumo seriously as Yone sighs at them after hearing that.

"We all know that this would be only a show fight. You can't stop even your Godson," says Yone pointing at Hori before he continues, "How are you going to stop me?"

"We don't want a fourth war to happen, Yone," says Hiruzen as he pulled his robes off and showed that underneath them he was in battle gear ready to fight against him.

"I promised Kushina that I wouldn't start a war. If you want to know what I am going to do with Hori, it is simple, we are going to camp. We will return in a week and we can't get to Kumo and back in a week," says Yone lying in their face.

Both of them knew that Yone was lying but he promised Kushina not to start a war which made both of them feel at ease with what Yone was about to do.

"Fine, we can't stop you from going camping," says Hiruzen following the charade and Yone smiled at him before Hiruzen says, "But don't bring some random puppy back home."

Random Puppy was the code for Tailed Beast between the two of them since they are in public they can't talk openly about it.

"I won't bring back some random puppy," says Yone confirming that he wouldn't extract the tailed beasts Kumogakure has.

"Just return promptly and don't cause too much trouble. Kakashi wanted to meet you. Maybe you can talk to him after your return?" says Sakumo as Yone nods at him.

"I will see what I can do for your little troublemaker," says Yone as he and Hori leave the village when Hiruzen and Sakumo realized what sword Hori was carrying around.

"Didn't we send them back to Kiri?" asks Sakumo surprised when Hiruzen only holds his head and shakes it.

"Like the father so the son. Both are the same it seems," says Hiruzen exhausted because of the whole family.

Yone and Hori walked a bit further down the path when he asks, "What about your sisters?"

Hori looks at him confused when Yone asks, "Have they given back the swords they scavenged in the war?"

"Hina kept the Kiba since it helps her a lot because of her Lightning Body but Hana returned it saying that swords just don't suit her," says Hori answering Yone who only sighs.

"Well, at least one of you returned the weapon to their rightful owner," says Yone as he grabs his son's shoulder before they disappear.
