章節 20: Chapter 20
Fuyōna stood face to face with the six tails. The giant slug-like creature trapped inside of its sealing prison unable to move freely.
"I think it's time we got to know each other six tails..." Fuyōna said.
He had managed to enter his inner psyche, now coming face to face with the tailed beast. It was certainly different from how Naruto's looked in the anime.
Fuyōna's surroundings reminded him of his home village. Snow and trees surrounded them, dimly lit by the full moon's glow in the night sky above.
"Why do you speak to me?" The six tails asked.
Fuyōna took a moment thinking about how he should respond.
"Tell me Six tails, what would you do if I set you free?" Fuyōna asked.
There was a moment of silence before the tailed beast spoke, Fuyōna waited patiently for its response.
"No human has ever asked such a question." It spoke softly.
"It matters not. Your kind would simply capture me again. You are all the same."
Fuyōna remained silent, walking around as he examined the seal that envelope the beast.
The six tails watched him with interest as Fuyōna walked around. It could sense no fear coming from him, which was unusual among humans.
"It must be hard being trapped in one place to the next," Fuyōna said as he sat on the floor in front of the beast.
"You see me as a weapon... Nothing more." It spoke with a little malice in its voice.
Fuyōna could understand, in fact, he knew better than most. But he was determined to tame the six tails.
"Let's start nice and easy. Tell me your name? You do have one, don't you?" Fuyōna asked, trying to get the six tails to let its guard down.
"My name... You want to know my name?" It asked, confused.
"No human has ever asked for my name..."
Fuyōna gave a smile.
"I'm not like most people."
The six tails looked at him strangely before it nodded.
"My name is Saiken." The six tails spoke.
"Good to meet you Saiken, my name is Fuyōna. Fuyōna Yuki."
With that, Fuyōna decided to open his eyes exiting from his inner psyche. He knew it would be best not to rush things if he wanted to master the six tails powers; it would be a long process and not something that would happen overnight.
The next few days passed by with Fuyōna having some time off his duties, so he decided to spend his time training. He trained mostly by himself focusing on every aspect. First was his morning routine consisting of strength exercises and stretches.
Next was Taijutsu practice. Fuyōna would spend hours perfecting his Taijutsu abilities; because his Shikotsumyaku abilities were mainly useful when combined with Taijutsu. Fuyōna would focus on his body's agility and speed, spinning and weaving in and around his imaginary opponents.
Flipping and springing off his hands and feet, Fuyōna aimed to master his body to forge it into a deadly weapon. It was a beautiful dance of death as bones darted out all over his body, letting him spin attacking with another part of his body as if a never-ending assault of combinations.
Fuyōna was panting hard, sweat dripping from his body as the middays sun scorched the ground. It was an unusually hot day today and the increased heat meant Fuyōna was sweating more than usual. He had even taken his training vest off, leaving his small yet muscular body exposed.
Planting his hand into the ground using it to spin his entire body around rapidly, he flipped, rolling onto the floor before using his other hand to turn his body more and more, bones shooting out one after the other before he executed a perfect butterfly kick landing in his fighting pose exhaling hard.
"I think that's enough Taijutsu practice." He said, wiping the sweat off his face with a towel he had next to his things on the floor.
It had been three weeks since the six tails had been sealed inside of him. Since then, he had noticed his energy levels had increased along with his recovery rate.
Fuyōna took a drink of water from his bottle and placed it back on the floor. It certainly wasn't a bad thing having more energy reservers.
Next was Ninjutsu practice, Fuyōna was looking forward to testing out a few new Jutsu he had been working on. Fuyōna made the hand signs with ease. Two large ice swords started to appear, the ice forming from the moisture in the air, one growing in each of his hands.
"Ice style, dancing blades." He said as he tossed each of the blades into the air.
Each blade started to dance around Fuyōna's body as if they were possessed, moving in perfect rhythm.
"Now, to test it out," Fuyōna said as he grasped two handfuls of shuriken. Fuyōna tossed them into the air as hard as he could before he quickly made a few hand signs.
"Wind style, reverse current!" He shouted. A large gust of wind stopped the stream of shuriken midair, forcing them to come flying back aimed at Fuyōna himself.
"Here we go!"
The shuriken rained down on Fuyōna one after the other, but none of them could touch him. Each of the ice swords danced around him, deflecting the shuriken one after the other until there were no more.
Fuyōna stood with his arms crossed and smiled before releasing the Jutsu.
"It certainly takes a lot of chakra control. My current limit is only two blades." He said, a faint memory of the first time he tried to use this Jutsu popping into his head.
He laughed, remembering getting stabbed with a couple of shuriken before he sat down. Fuyōna focused his chakra, placing his hands together until the air around him grew cold.
The grass below him started to freeze as he continued to focus, his breath visible in the cold air.
Fuyōna slowly made a couple of hand signs. Three ice clones started to form and stood around Fuyōna one a little further away than the other. Fuyōna made a few more hand signs, this time unique to the Yuki clan. His eyes quickly snapped open as he finished the Jutsu.
"Ice style, flash freeze!" He shouted, letting his chakra explode around him.
Everything up to the second clone was instantly frozen, even the particles in the air. Fuyōna let out a sigh and stood up slowly, allowing his clones to disappear and his Jutsu to fade, letting the ice melt away as if it were never there.
"I need to be able to expend more chakra to cover a greater distance. Something I can work on." Fuyōna said as he picked up his water, trying to take another sip before he realized it was frozen solid.
Fuyōna laughed as he turned the ice back into water so he could drink it.
"Just one more thing I want to test," Fuyōna said, placing the water back down, making a few hand signs one again.
Two ice clones formed and took their positions as Fuyōna instructed. Each clone started to grow bones out of their arms, interlocking until it looked like each was holding a thick white shield.
Fuyōna nodded with a smile.
"Alright, then."
Fuyōna crossed both of his arms, his hands and fingers spread in front of his face. Suddenly he fired two lots of bone bullets from each of his fingertips, aiming at the shields of each clone.
Of course, the bone bullets hit the shields and bounce off having no effects. He took the same pose and this time channeled his chakra, firing another set each at the clones.
One of the clones was suddenly shredded apart as the bone bullets ripped through the shield and the clone's body. The other bone bullets hit the shield seeming to do nothing for a moment. Swiftly the shield started to become enveloped in ice and it froze, the ice quickly spreading freezing the entire clone's body in an instant.
Fuyōna had enhanced one set of bone bullets with his lightning style, giving them increased piercing and destructive power. The other set had been enhanced with ice style chakra, anything they touched would freeze almost instantly.
"Looks like I'm starting to get the hang of that," Fuyōna said.
It had taken a lot of practice to mix his lightning style with his Shikotsumyaku abilities. Now that he had masted the required chakra control Fuyōna had started to experiment with its applications more and more.
Fuyōna spent a little more time practicing other Jutsu, always trying to better himself or think of different ways he could use his abilities. Now that his Ninjutsu practice was over, there was only one thing left to try.
Over the last couple of days, Fuyōna had engaged in conversation with Saiken, the six tails that was sealed inside of him. Each time he had gotten to know something more about Saiken, until yesterday.
-Flashback-
"So Saiken, I was wondering if I could ask you something?" Fuyōna said.
The six tails looked at him, deciding to agree.
"What is it you want to know Fuyōna?" It asked.
"I was wondering if you would agree to lend me your power? You see, there are things I want to achieve. Things I will need your power for in the future." Fuyōna said, speaking the truth.
Saiken didn't say anything at first instead, taking time to think about what Fuyōna had said.
"You have indeed been kind to me Fuyōna Yuki. Kinder than any host I have had before you. The power of us tailed beasts has always been saught by humans. Ever since we were created. How are you any different than them?"
Fuyōna remained silent for a moment.
"I know about the sage of six paths. How he created you from the ten tails setting you free before his death."
Saiken was seriously shocked by what Fuyōna just said.
"How do you know that?" Saiken asked, confused.
"I told you. I'm not like other people." Fuyōna said as he placed his hand on the seal that kept the six tails confined.
"Maybe this will help convince you." He said, releasing it about halfway.
Fuyōna was able to figure out the sealing Jutsu that had been used by the Mizukage. Thanks to the scroll he had gotten his hands on, his understanding of Fūinjutsu had increased drastically. Enabling him to create his own key to fit the seal.
"I know with the seal only half as strong you could break out and try to take over my body," Fuyōna said, looking Saiken in the eye.
"I don't want to use you as a weapon. I want you to be my ally and lend me your power. What say you?"
Saiken was stuck between two choices. It could break free of the sealing Jutsu and attack Fuyōna attempting to take over his body and gain his freedom.
Or it could allow Fuyōna control of its power, helping him achieve his goals.
Saiken had a flashback to when the sage of six paths was giving him and the other tails beasts his final goodbye.
" I will not live much longer..." The sage said addressing each of the tailed beasts by name.
"Remember, even if you are far apart, you will always be together for you are all linked."
The tailed beasts were all sad each crying over the sight of their dying father.
"Know that one day you will be joined back together. One shall appear to show you what true power is before that time..." The sage said with a smile on his face. His last words to all of them.
-End of flashback-
Saiken could feel that Fuyōna was not evil. In fact, Saiken knew he was different from all the others he had encountered before.
"Very well." It said softly.
Fuyōna raised an eyebrow as he didn't quite hear what Saiken had said.
"Very well Fuyōna Yuki. I permit you to use my power as you see fit. I will help you achieve your goals as an ally."
"Alright!" Fuyōna yelled out in happiness.
Fuyōna walked over to the seal and placed his hand on it, this time fully releasing the seal, completely freeing the six tails from its confinement.
"It's not much, but I hope it helps," Fuyōna said, extending his fists to the six tails.
Saiken took a moment before it smiled and extended its own hand, tapping Fuyōna's fist with its own.
"Is this the one you meant father..." Saiken thought as he watched Fuyōna.
"I guess I will have to train hard to control your power Saiken. But with your help, we will become strong enough to make a difference." Fuyōna said as he turned around, placing his hands on his hips.
Saiken nodded looking down at Fuyōna, the image of the sage of six paths reflected off of Fuyōna's figure, causing Saiken to smile.
-End of flashback-
Fuyōna sat on the floor, focusing hard, getting his breathing under control as a red cloak of chakra flowed from his body, surrounding him forming one tail on his back.
Fuyōna had been trying each day to use just a little of Saikens powers. It certainly made things easier that Saiken was willing to help and lend his aid, which made using his power all that more comfortable.
Fuyōna focused harder and allowed another two tails to form on his back. Quickly making a couple of hand signs three ice clones appeared all taking a battle-ready position.
"Here we go." He said as all three clones jumped in for the attack.
Each one attacked with all of its strength, using all of Fuyōna's abilities to try and take him down. Fuyōna had noticed one of the first things this form gave him was an increase in speed and strength. It was allowing him to move faster than he could typically, which was already pretty fast.
His physical strength was also enhanced, allowing his Taijutsu to become even more deadly.
Two clones attack from either side while the last rushed down the center line as quickly as it could. Each was using wind style to enhance their movements and they weren't pulling any punches.
The clones on the left and right attacked using bones as weapons, each one going high and then low, striking at all angles. The clone in the center stopped dead and started to form rapid hand signs creating ice mirrors all around Fuyōna trapping him.
The real Fuyōna was dodging and parrying every attack they threw at him, thanks to his enhanced abilities, including his reaction speed, he was able to fight both of them without any real problems.
Jumping he avoided a sweep at his left leg, while midair another attack came for his head from the right. It was a lightning enhanced bone blade that could do some damage if it hit.
Fuyōna willed the chakra cloak that surrounded him to act, one of the tails planting itself into the ground allowing Fuyōna to move at the last second in midair.
The bone blade licked Fuyōna's cheek drawing a small amount of blood. Fuyōna kicked the clones hard in the chest sending it flying, spinning and dropping down to his back, Fuyōna slammed a kick into the other clones' head in rapid succession. The clone was able to block the kick, but the force of it sent him flying through the air.
Fuyōna noticed the ice mirrors form around him and smiled. He could already feel the cut healing thanks to the chakra cloak and he decided to wait and see what his clones had planned for him, the harder it was, the better he could learn to control Saikens powers.
So far Fuyōna could use the cloak up to three tails before his control started to lack. Saiken had told him it would take time to adjust to the sudden burst of chakra levels and had warned him to take it slow. Although Saiken wouldn't take over his body if he went too far, he would have to stop the flow of chakra if Fuyōna pushed too hard, so not to harm his body. Or worse, kill him.
The ice mirrors had fully formed, creating a dome all around him. All three clones slipped into the ice mirrors, their reflections appearing in all of them.
"Here it comes," Fuyōna said, taking a ready stance.
Suddenly a volley of bone bullets enhanced with lightning style chakra hit the ground where Fuyōna was stood. He had managed to avoid the attack but soon found himself pressed at every angle.
The clones darted in and around the mirrors. Each firing volley's of bone bullets as they passed almost too fast to see. Fuyōna had been pushed back on the defense. He had a bone blade in each hand and one in each tail of his chakra cloak, which allowed him to deflected the bone bullets for the time being as long as he kept them enhanced with lightning style.
"I need to counter-attack!" Fuyōna said to himself as he was starting to struggle with the oncoming barrage of bone bullets.
"Would you like me to decreased the amount of chakra I am providing your ice clones?" Saiken said from inside Fuyōna's head.
It was thanks to the six tails that Fuyōna was able to train like this, with its constant supply of chakra, the clones could fight at full power for a long time without it draining Fuyōna's own chakra, allowing him to train more intensely by himself than ever before.
"No, keep them going Saiken. I have an idea!"
Fuyōna was spinning and twisting so fast that his body had almost become a blur. Tossing bone blades into the ground in nearly a perfect circle around the ice mirrors. Fuyōna jumped high into the air, quickly making hand signs.
"Here it goes!"
Fuyōna was still focusing hard on his chakra cloaks tails deflecting the never-ending barrage, his concentration starting to slip.
"Lightning style, Lightning trap Jutsu!" He shouted as each of the bone blades suddenly sparked to life, an electrical current passing from one to the next, connecting the entire circle.
One of the clones failed to stop in time and was caught in the electric current, getting fried to a crisp. The others stopped quickly looking at each other, giving a nod as they retreated inside of the mirrors.
"It worked," Fuyōna said, impressed with himself.
"Now to deal with these mirrors." He said, forming hand signs.
"My chakra is running low. I'll need your help for this one Saiken!"
"I'm on it Fuyōna!" Saiken replied.
The clones decided not to waste any more time and sprung back into action. They were continuing their gorilla tactics using the ice mirrors for cover firing bone bullets over and over again.
Suddenly more ice mirrors formed around Fuyōna acting as shields. The bone bullets hit the ice mirrors, but instead of shattering them, they simply passed right through, firing out of another mirror and ripping through the clone's ice prison.
The clones were lucky they weren't hit by their own attack; however, the same could not be said for their ice mirrors which had been destroyed by the bone bullets, shattering them like glass.
Fuyōna allowed his ice mirrors to dissolve into water, falling to the ground.
"Looks like your out of tricks." He said eyeing up his clones.
Fuyōna suddenly felt a surge of pain down his arm, his control over his chakra cloak fading two of the tails disappearing.
"Fuyōna, you have run out of chakra and your ability to control my chakra is becoming increasingly difficult without it," Saiken warned.
"No. I'm not done yet!" Fuyōna shouted, trying to force more chakra.
"You can't force any more of your own chakra if you do you could die," Saiken said almost seeming worried.
"Just one last thing I want to try..." Fuyōna said with a small smile on his face.
Saiken disagreed but nodded.
"Very well, take my chakra."
Fuyōna nodded as his energy was restored, allowing his chakra cloak to grow two more tails.
The two clones rushed in bones spiking out all over their body. Fuyōna realized how terrifying it looked from the outside and almost laughed.
"Here it goes! Icey graveyard Jutsu!" Fuyōna shouted as he slapped his hands onto the ground.
A brief moment passed and the clones stopped in their tracks sensing the danger. Suddenly massive bones discharged from the ground covering the entire area in an instant.
Both the clones were shredded to pieces by the razor-sharp bones their bodies instantly freezing at the touch of them before they crumbled into chunks of ice.
Fuyōna let out a large breath as the bones started to dissolve into the gentle breeze, his chakra cloak fading before he fell to the ground, landing on his back.
Saiken was impressed at how quickly Fuyōna was grasping his powers. Not only was he able to control the massive amounts of chakra, but he could mix his own chakra with it, allowing him to channel all of his abilities and even enhance them.
Saiken was also impressed by Fuyōna's last Jutsu. It cost a massive amount of chakra and from what he could tell, Fuyōna had mixed both of his Kekkie Genkai, creating a deadly combination of the two. Razor-sharp bones that were harder than steel, so cold that once they touched you, you would freeze in an instant.
"That last one really took it out of me," Fuyōna said, still breathing heavily.
"I have been working on that Jutsu for about a year now. I just never had enough chakra to cover such a distance at once."
Saiken nodded, giving a smile.
"I'm glad I could help." The tailed beast said. The two laughing together as Fuyōna took his time getting his breath back.
In the faraway distance, covered by a thick tree line too far for Fuyōna to sense stood a small yet powerful figure. It was the 4th Mizukage Yagura Karatachi.
He had watched Fuyōna 's training and control over his tailed beast's powers with keen interest.
"Impressive... Very impressive... Not long now."

章節 21: Chapter 21
A few more months past and before Fuyōna knew it, it was his birthday. He had survived 14 years in this world so far. Fuyōna didn't really celebrate as it wasn't something you celebrated in the hidden Mist. Instead, he kept to his duties and training regime, nothing out of the ordinary.
Fuyōna had noticed the village hadn't sent him on any missions as of late. Not that he minded, of course, it merely gave him more time to train and master his abilities best he could.
That all changed when he received a summons to an Anbu captain's meeting. Hatsu Tokaji delivered the order. He was one of Fuyōna's most loyal subordinates; after all, he had saved his life.
"A captain's meeting?" Fuyōna said as he read the order.
"That's right captain Yuki. Orders from the head captain himself." Hatsu said before he excused himself to attend to other matters.
"I've never been to a captain's meeting before," Fuyōna said, trying to recall who the other Anbu captains even were.
The meeting was being held in an hour, so Fuyōna decided he should go home and prepare his gear. Using his body flicker to disappear, moving extremely quickly to get home as fast as he could.
Once Fuyōna arrived at his home, he got his gear all laid out trying to decide what he should take. In the end, he went for his basic Mist flak jacket and his black Anbu robes. It was what most hidden mist tracker shinobi wore the only difference was the mask. The mask symbolized his rank among the Anbu, and it was how the Mist could tell what position you held. It was a white hunter mask with three blue claw marks rasing from the bottom.
"That should do it," Fuyōna said as he pulled on his striped pattern forearm protectors standard of the hidden Mist. They were slash-proof and protected the wrists and arms from blades and other sharp things.
Fuyōna took a quick look in the mirror, taking in his appearance before heading out. He noticed he was slowly getting taller, and his black hair was still shoulder-length for the time being. Fuyōna placed his mask on as he walked out of his home, disappearing into the mist.
The meeting was taking place at the Anbu headquarters that was located in the Mizukages building itself. Fuyōna had been here many times before as it was where he usually reported for missions or new gear. Usually damaged due to his training.
As Fuyōna darted across the rooftops of the hidden Mist, he could see that the streets were quiet as usual. The village was still a bleak place for most to live, but most didn't have a choice.
There was a lot of tension and unrest among the land of water at the moment. The nation was still recovering from the civil war and tensions between the land of wind and land of water were at an all-time high. The Mizukage's ruthless rain over the land was starting to be questioned, his methods frowned upon by many, including the daimyō of the land of water.
Fuyōna arrived at the meeting place. There were two guards stationed on the entrance each bowed their heads as Fuyōna walked into sight.
"Welcome captain Yuki." One of them said.
Fuyōna nodded to the guards as he entered the building and made his way to the meeting chambers. Heading up the stairs and along a few corridors, he finally reached his destination. Again two more guards were stationed on the door. They nodded and opened the doors for Fuyōna to enter, not saying a word.
Fuyōna noticed he was the last to arrive as he took in the appearance of the other Anbu captains dotted around the room. Fuyōna recognized Zabuza without even trying. He wore the standard mist flak jacket and Anbu robes with bandages wrapped around his face like he always had. He was sat on a chair with his legs crossed on the table, not looking impressed as he watched Fuyōna enter the room.
"Ah captain Yuki, you got the message then?" A familiar voice said.
Fuyōna turned to see Ao walking over to greet him. It had been a while since Fuyōna had last seen him, taking his mask off Fuyōna greeted him.
"Yes, sorry I am late, I didn't receive the news until an hour ago," Fuyōna said.
Fuyōna could see three others in the room, two of which he recognized. One was Kisame Hoshigaki. He was stood at the head of the large table in the middle of the room. Fuyōna could tell at one look he was powerful even before getting his hands on his famous sword. His current rank and reputation already saying as much.
"So you are captain Yuki?" A female voice said, catching Fuyōnas attention.
Fuyōna turned to look where the voice came from. It was Mei Terumī. She looked younger, about 18 years old, her long red hair that she had in the anime was shorter, only a bit longer than shoulder length. Fuyōna couldn't help notice how attractive she was and it made him a little nervous.
He turned to greet her, smiling at her.
"Nice to meet you, and you are?" He asked, being polite.
"I thought with a reputation like yours you would be older no?" She asked, ignoring his question, looking down at him.
Fuyōna rubbed the back of his head with a nervous laugh.
"Well."
He was cut off as Mei continued to talk.
"I like younger men anyway. The name is Mei Terumī." She said as she blew a kiss at Fuyōna, causing him almost to blush a little.
It didn't help that her rather broad cleavage was a little exposed. She wore a tight low-cut black Anbu top that left her shoulders and upper cleavage exposed. She also wore the standard mist flak jacket, with a black skirt leaving her legs bare except for her standard shinobi footwear with shin guards.
"Don't pay any attention to her," Ao said, rescuing Fuyōna's from her.
"What was that?" Mei said, looking at him angrily.
Fuyōna noticed one other man in the room, someone he had never seen before. He wore the standard mist Anbu gear and sat quietly in one of the chairs, his arms folded across his chest. He made eye contact with Fuyōna before looking away in what Fuyōna believed was disgust.
Kisame cleared his throat, getting the attention of everyone in the room before he spoke, silencing Mei and Ao arguing with each other.
"Should we start this meeting, or do you want to waste my time even more?" He said menacingly.
Everyone nodded, walking over to take a seat. Mei patting her hand on a chair next to her winking at Fuyōna again. She clearly enjoyed toying with him, but he smiled a little awkwardly and sat down anyway, Mei smiling as he did.
"Don't be nervous captain Yuki I'm just playing with you." She said as she crossed her legs, causing his cheeks to turn a little red.
Fuyōna smiled nervously and turned away, catching Kisames glare. Fuyōna put a serious face on as his eyes locked with Kisame's in an intense staring contest for what seemed like too long time before Kisame spoke, a sharp tooth smile coming to his lips.
"You are probably wondering why you have been summoned. After all, there has never been a meeting between Anbu captains like this before."
The other captains didn't look impressed, other than Mei who had a small smile on her face.
"Just get to the point Kisame," Zabuza said clearly pissed that he was here.
"You insolent pup, How dare you speak to your commanding officer like that." The other Anbu captain that Fuyōna had never seen before said.
He was an older man, Fuyōna guessing he was in his late 30's. Zabuza scoffed as he pulled his legs off of the table.
"You got a problem with me old man!" Zabuza shouted, giving off a murderous aura.
The other Anbu captain stood to his feet enraged.
"I will teach you a lesson, Demon." He scoffed as he said the word.
"Now, now, boys," Mei said gaining both of their attention calming them down.
Fuyōna had heard the stories of her background; she was pretty famous for her abilities as she also possessed two Kekkie Genkai and had graduated from the academy at the age of 9. Beautiful and extremely dangerous. Just like himself, she had survived many battles through the war and made a name for herself becoming a captain of Anbu.
Zabuza slapped his legs back onto the table, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Whatever."
Kisame waited for it to quiet down before he started talking again.
"Anyway, as I was saying... Lord Mizukage has decided to transfer me to work under Fuguki Suikazan directly as such one of you will be taking my position as head captain of the Anbu."
The room remained silent as everyone waited for Kisame to start talking again. It was not uncommon for a captain of the Anbu to leave his role to work directly under one of the seven. Well, currently only the three. There were still four slots open in the famous ranks after Might Duy of the hidden leaf had killed the others and they had yet to be filled.
Only Juzo, Raiga and Fuguki had survived. It was amazing they had even made it back as Fuyōna knew how powerful the eight gates were, a testament to their abilities as members of the seven swordsmen of the Mist.
"Ao. You will be taking my place. That is an order from the Mizukage himself."
Ao nodded, "I am, honored." He said, not showing any emotion.
"Lord Mizukage also wants a full report from each captain in regards to the strength of your units."
"Why so, suddenly?" Mei asked seeming a little confused.
"He didn't say," Kisame said bluntly.
Kisame passed sealed documents to each of the captains, all except Fuyōna.
"These are your orders from above," Kisame said as he passed the last one out.
Fuyōna was a little surprised as he didn't have one, but decided to stay quiet.
"Captain Yuki. The Mizukage wants to see you in his office after this meeting. It seems he has a mission to give you directly." Kisame said, giving Fuyōna a sharp grin.
Fuyōna nodded, trying not to show any surprise on his face. But he knew whenever he was summoned to the Mizukages office, it was never for something easy. The last time was to become the six tails host and Fuyōna couldn't help but wonder what it would be this time.
"Are we done here?" Zabuza said, standing up looking in a rush to leave.
"Yes, you may leave now." Kisame nodded.
Zabuza didn't waste any time as he quickly left the room, not wanting to stick around to chit chat. Kisame also dismissed himself saying he too had matters to attend to before vanishing.
Fuyōna also noticed the other Anbu captain leave without saying a word leaving Fuyōna, Ao and Mei alone.
"Well captain Yuki, you had better not keep lord Mizukage waiting," Ao said as he placed a hand on his shoulder.
"You're leaving so soon?" Mei said, leaning back on the table seeming sad.
Fuyōna tried his best to act professional and not fall for her teasing.
"Yes, I had better not keep lord Mizukage waiting."
Ao nodded and said his goodbyes, Fuyōna placed his mask back on and exiting the room. As he left, Mei gave a seductive smile.
"So that kid is really the famous ice devil of the mist? I hope I meet him again soon."
Ao looked at her crossing his arms over his chest.
"Trust me. He's a lot stronger than he looks. He's not as nieve as you might think either."
Mei licked her lips before standing up and walking out of the room.
"I look forward to working with him."
Fuyōna made his way to the Mizukages office and entered as told. Once inside he was met by Yagura and only Yagura.
"You asked for me, lord Mizukage?" Fuyōna said bowing.
"Yes come in Fuyōna." He said, turning away from the large window he was looking out of.
"I have a mission from the daimyō." He said, crossing his arms.
"As you know, tensions are high with the land of wind. The daimyō has proposed that he sends his daughter to agree upon a peace treaty."
Fuyōna wasn't convinced.
"But lord Mizukage, is that a good idea? Surly her life will be put at risk."
Yagura let his interruption slide as he sat down in his chair.
"I have tried to warn him, but there is no convincing a politician," Yagura said, resting his chin on his fist.
"If anything happens to her, it will mean war," Yagura said his expression cold.
"I trust I can count on you."
Fuyōna didn't say anything for a moment and simply nodded.
"It will be done."
"Very good, you will find all the details in the mission report on your way out. Oh, and Fuyōna. Do try your best not to let the princess die."
Fuyōna walked out of the Mizukages officed and took the mission report for one of the Mizukages aids. He wasn't impressed and knew this was a bad idea.
If the hidden sand got the news that the princess of the land of water was heading to the capital of the land of wind. There was no doubt that they would attack.
The hidden sand was on bad terms as it was with their daimyō and the country was on the verge of a civil war. The last thing the land of wind wanted was a war with the land of water, but Fuyōna had a feeling that is what the hidden sand wanted. After all, it was the perfect war to generate revenue and get revenge on the hidden Mist.
Fuyōna made his way to the mission's office and placed the mission orders. After that, he summoned his Anbu squad to meet tomorrow for the start of the mission.
Fuyōna had already looked over and memorized the mission; it was an A-class, escort and protect the princess to and from the land of wind. No Anbu clothing was to be used, and Fuyōna and his squad were ordered to dress as regular Jonin.
Fuyōna returned home and began preparation for the mission. He knew that there was a high possibility of being attacked and even a possible assassination attempt. But Fuyōna was confident he wouldn't run into anyone he couldn't deal with, which was most likely why the Mizukage had chosen him for the mission in the first place.
"I should be prepared just in case." He said to himself as he packed some extra gear.
"Hopefully this goes smoothly. If not, can I count on your help Saiken?" Fuyōna said, closing his eyes so he could talk to the six tails.
Saiken could see everything that Fuyōna could see and was already aware of the mission at hand.
"I trust you, Fuyōna. I am at your side no matter what." The six tails said with a smile on its face.
Fuyōna also smiled as he opened his eyes and finished packing all of his gear.
Turning to look at the clock on his table, Fuyōna noticed it was later than he thought.
"I guess I still have just a little time to practice that Jutsu."
With that said, Fuyōna bit his thumb, drawing some blood and made a few quick hand signs.
"Reverse summoning Jutsu." He said, slapping his hand on the floor vanishing in a poof of white smoke.
