章節 37: Chapter 37:

Fuyōna, along with the help of his clones and Haku and Kimimaro, had cleaned the entire house in record time.

They had also gotten rid of all of the junk and rubbish, painted, sanded and even added a few extras to the place.

Fuyōna stood outside as he admired his handy work looking at what had been a large barn full of crap. He had now turned into a large dojo and training area that he would use to help train the boys.

"Take a good look." He said to both of them as they stood by his side.

"You will be spending a lot of time in this dojo," Fuyōna said as he opened the large doors to enter inside.

The space was large and wide, the floors a smooth wooden surface with plenty of room to move.

It was empty for now, but Fuyōna could add more things in time. For now, there was no rush.

Haku and Kimimaro followed him inside as they, too, took a good look around.

"What are we doing here, master Fuyōna," Haku asked.

"Please, Haku. It's just Fuyōna. But if it makes you feel better, you can call me sensei."

Haku nodded with a smile, "Yes, Fuyōna sensei."

Fuyōna couldn't help but smile. The word sensei was something he never thought he would be called.

"Alright then, boys, today will be your first test so I can see where your current strengths lie." He said as he made the hand signs to create an ice clone.

Haku and Kimimaro looked amazed and watched as the clone walked to the centre of the dojo.

"You will fight one of my ice clones until you cannot fight anymore, or you win..." He said, giving them a smirk.

Haku looked a little nervous, and Kimimaro had a blank expression on his face.

"Feel free to attack me any time you are ready." The clone said as it crossed its arms.

Haku took a ready stance as he wasn't sure how to approach, but Kimimaro simply charged in without any concern.

"So your first," Fuyōna said as Kimimaro charged in, jumping into the air as he attacked with a spinning kick.

Fuyōna dodged the attack and sidestepped, creating some distance between them. Kimimaro followed it up with another charge as he attacked with a flurry of different attacks.

Fuyōna dodged and blocked them all as he slapped Kimimaro hand away before using a small burst of wind style chakra to send him flying across the room and sliding across the smooth wooden floor.

"Not bad, Kimomaro, but too hasty," Fuyōna said.

He quickly turned around as he blocked a heel kick to his head from Haku, who flipped back, landing in a squat before he ran in, throwing a small handful of punches.

Fiyōna could tell he was acting out of pure instinct and didn't know how to fight just yet.

Fuyōna easily batted Hakus punches away and grabbed his wrist before sweeping him to the ground.

Haku hit the floor and clutched his chest as he tried to get his breath back.

"Maybe I should have started by teaching him how to fight before throwing him in the deep end..." Fuyōna thought as he turned back around to deal with Kimimaro.

Kimimaro had charged in again. He had bones sticking out of his body as he twisted in the air, trying to hit Fuyōna with them.

He also slashed at him with his arms as he held two blades, one in each of them.

He was fast, and Fuyōna could tell he was already stronger than most genin and even churning level ninja.

"Fuyōna allowed a bond blade to appear in his own hand as he blocked and parried each of Kimimaros attacks before he kicked him back with a bit of force.

Kimimaro used the bones of his ribs to block the attack and flipped onto his feet.

"He's a natural..." Fuyōna said, impressed at his ability.

Suddenly his senses kicked in as he jumped out of the way of a large formation of ice spikes from Haku.

Fuyōna flipped through the air and quickly blocked another assault from Kimimaro as he tried to catch him off guard by attacking midair.

Fuyōna blocked three swipes at his body before he grabbed Kimimaros training shirt and threw him over to the other side of the dojo.

Kimimaro landed hard but was eagerly able to flip back to his feet unharmed.

Fuyōna landed back onto the ground, and Haku rushed in, attacking again as he refused to give up or lose to Kimimaro.

Kimimaro joined him, and the two of them fed off each other's attacks as they got faster and faster.

Fuyōna was amazed at their ability but decided enough was enough. Quickly Fuyōna booked a kick from Haku with his shin and stopped Kimimaro's bone blade with his own, using his free hand to create a couple of quick hand signs.

Suddenly ice froze around Haku, and Kmimaros feet as the two of them became stuck on the spot.

"Not bad boys, not bad at all." The clone said before it melted into water.

Haku and Kimimaro looked surprised and then turned around as the real Fuyōna walked over to them and released the jutsu, freeing their legs from the ice.

"That is enough sparring, for now, boys." He said as he crossed his arms.

"The best thing I can do for them is to get them enrolled into the Academy. That way, they will learn all of the basics without me having to be here all the time." He thought.

"Right, you two stay here." He said as he made another clone.

"What about you, Fuyōna sensei?" Kimimaro asked.

"I have some important matters to attend to, but my clone here is going to give you some training to work on while I'm gone." He said as he patted each of them on their head.

Both of them smiled, and Fuyōna left the boys with his clone as he headed out for the academy.

Fuyōna hadn't been here since he had graduated at the same age Haku and Kimimaro were now.

The place had changed a lot over the years, and the kids here looked a lot happier than they had when he was there.

Fuyōna walked through the grounds and could see a few of the classes that were taking place.

Some were practising taijutsu while others were training with shuriken. He had to say the training seemed a lot softer than he remembered, but that was probably for the best.

Fuyōna entered into the academy's main building, where he knew the instructors spent most of their time.

He walked all the way through the hall without bumping into anyone until, finally, he reached a large office that was labelled head instructor.

Fuyōna didn't bother knocking and opened the door, to the head instructors surprise.

"What are you doing?" He asked as Fuyōna walked in unannounced.

The head instructors eyes opened wide as he realised just who it was that had walked into his office.

"Y-you!" He said in shock as he recognised who he was.

"Good to see you again," Fuyōna said, remembered the man.

He had met him long ago, back during the war. Leaving a powerful impression as he was pretty sure he had threatened to kill him.

"What does the Kage killer want with me?" He asked, not standing from his chair.

Fuyōna smiled as he sat down across from him on one of the other chairs.

"Long time no see..." Fuyōna said as he tried to think if his name.

"It's Shibata Yuji..." The man said, jogging Fuyōnas memory.

"Yes, Shibata... Well, I need a favour." Fuyōna said as he crossed his legs.

The head instructor felt very nervous but decided to play along.

"What kind of favour?"

"I would like to enrol two students at the Academy," Fuyōna said in an innocent tone.

Shibata almost breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the request. However, he couldn't help ask questions.

"So, how old are these students?" He asked as he grabbed a pen and paper.

"They are eight years old," Fuyōna said.

"Perfect age... Do they have names?" Shibata asked.

"Kimimaro and Haku," Fuyōna said, leaving their last names out.

"Right..." He said as he finished writing the request forms out before handing them to Fuyōna to sign.

"I can't help but wonder, just why do you want these boys to enter the Academy?" Shibata asked.

Fuyōna signed the part to say he was their guardian and looked at Shibata in the eye.

"Let's just say I owe them this much," Fuyōna said, giving him a stern glance.

That was all Shibata needed to know as he decided his life wasn't worth the risk.

"That's all done. When are yoy looking for them to start?" He asked

"Tomorrow," Fuyōna replied as he left the office.

Shibata leaned back in his chair and wiped the sweat off his brow. That was the first time he had seen Fuyōna since all those years ago, and if anything, he felt more threatening now than ever before.

Fuyōna left the academy grounds pleased with his handy work.

All of a sudden, Ao appeared next to him as he greeted him with a nod.

"I've been looking all over for you, Fuyōna." He said, placing his hand on his hip.

"What's the matter, Ao?" He asked.

"We have been summoned by Lord fourth... He wants to see us now." Ao said, seeming concerned.

"Is that right," Fuyōna said.

"You think he knows?" Ao asked.

Fuyōna shuck his head.

"No. Let's go and see what he wants." Fuyōna said, convinced that Obito wasn't on to him.

Both of them reported to the Mizukages office and reported for duty.

"Ah yes, Ao, Fuyōna... Come in and shut the door." Yagura said.

All of the elders were also present, along with Fuguki and Kisame.

"Now that you are here, we can get down to business," Yagura said as he stood up and looked out of the large window.

"I have received word that Zabuza Momochi has left the village and gone rouge," Yagura said, turning to face them.

Fuyōna was shocked by the news and knew it was his actions that must have driven him to leave.

"So... The demon of the mist is a traitor now." Kisame said.

"As a previous Anbu captain and member of the seven swordsmen. This is unacceptable." Fuguki said, outraged.

"Imagine the secrets he could sell to our enemies!" He continued to say.

Yagura raised his hand for silence before he spoke.

"That makes three members of the seven swordsmen that have gone rouge now. Luckily, only two of them, took their swords." The Mizukage said.

"I want a full squad sent after him to track him down and kill him. Is that understood?" Yagura said, his voice serious.

"Ao, I leave that in your hands." He said before he sat down.

Ao nodded.

"Right away, lord Mizukage." He said as he left the room quickly.

Yagura sighed as Ao left the room.

"I'm afraid there are more pressing matters to attend to." He continued.

"The sand have attacked our borders once again, targeting villages that are under my protection. If we are not careful, this could result in a full-scale war between our villages." He said, interlocking his fingers.

The others in the room remained silent as they listened to the news. The only reason they were here now was that they were the strongest shinobi in the entire village, and clearly, Yagura trusted them the most.

"I have arranged a meeting between myself and the fifth Kazekage. It will take place in one weeks time." Fuyōna, I want you by my side as well as you Fuguki." He said, looking at them.

Kisame couldn't help himself and stepped forwards.

"What about me, lord fourth?" He asked.

"Don't worry, Kisame. I have another mission for you." He said with a smile.

With that, they were dismissed, and all of them left the room. Fuyōna couldn't help wonder just how powerful of a genjutsu had been placed on Yagura. Most of the time, he seemed like his usual self, but Fuyōna knew that Obito was controlling him, using him and the village for his own gain.

Fuyōna couldn't help think that Obito would want this war to erupt between the sand and mist. No doubt the conflict would draw others in, which could lead to another great ninja war.

"I have to stop him before the meeting with the Kazekage. Or else we could end up at war..." Fuyōna said to himself as he tried to think of all of the possible outcomes.

It was no good though, as all of the thinking and planning started to give him a headache. All he knew was that now the plan to rescue... Or kill the Mizukage had to be brought forwards.

As if on Que Ao arrived to talk with Fuyōna.

"Perfect timing Ao..." He said as he greeted him.

"We have to move up the plan. We can't afford for the Mizukage to be controlled and end up taking us to war." Fuyōna said, clearly worried about it.

Ao was shocked.

"What are you talking about?" He asked.

Fuyōna told him about the hidden sand attacking and that the two Kage were meeting in secret and trying to settle it.

Ao was shocked by the news and came to the same conclusion as Fuyōna.

"I didn't think we would have such little time to act. But we can't allow this to go on." He said.

Fuyōna agreed.

"That settles it. Tomorrow we will attempt to rescue the Mizukage from the genjutsu." He said.

Ao nodded. "Right, I guess I better hold off on capturing Zabuza until this is all sorted out." He said.

Fuyōna nodded.

"You know Fuyōna... If this goes south and we can't save him, the village will need a new Mizukage." Ao said, looking at him.

Fuyōna raised an eyebrow as he looked at Ao.

"What are you trying to say, Ao?"

"I think you know what." He said before he gave him a small nodded and vanished.

Fuyōna hadn't thought about that. He had to be careful how he handled this whole situation as he could easily be seen for grabbing power himself. Hopefully, it wouldn't come to that.

Fuyōna headed down the street as he made his way home. He walked past one of the few children playgrounds as he did. to his surprise, it was empty, without a child in sight.

Fuyōna almost felt sad at the sight and turned away.

"Fuyōna! Is that you?" A soft voice called out from behind him.

Fuyōna turned around slowly as he recognised the voice but couldn't place it. He turned and took in the sight of the person as they ran over to him to say hello.

"It is you Fuyōna! I heard you were back in the village. I always knew there was no way you had gone rouge." The woman said as she brushed her blond hair out of her face.

"S-Suiren..." Fuyōna muttered as he remembered who she was.

"You remember me! That's good. I was hoping you would! It has been year's since we have seen each other, though." She said with a bright smile.

Fuyōna was very surprised, to say the least, as he took in all of her features.

"Suiren." He said, smiling at her.

"It has been a long time. How are you?" He asked.

Suiren returned his smile as she couldn't help notice how handsome he had gotten, her cheeks turning a little red as she got a better look at him.

"I'm well, thank you." She said, brushing one of her bangs over her ear.

Fuyōna ended up walking all of the way home with Suiren as they talked about the past and what they had been up to over the years.

"I have just got back from a mission, and well, of course, I already have another mission a few days from now." She said, sighing.

Fuyōna laughed a little. "It sounds like you have been busy, Suiren."

He said as he stopped outside his house.

Suiren didn't realise and kept walking as she continued to talk.

"Yeah, something about a mission to do with the cypher division, apparently we even need a member of the seven ninja swordsmen to be our bodyguard." She said before turning on her heels, realising she had walked off.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" She said as she walked back over to him.

"I was in my own little world." She said with a shy smile.

Fuyōna couldn't help but think about what she had said. Something about the cypher division just didn't sit well in his head.

"Hey Suiren, why don't you come in for some tea, and we can catch up," Fuyōna said as he opened the gate.

Suiren looked at the large house and almost had to close her mouth.

"Is this your house?"

"Yeah, I just got it. So how about that tea?" He said as he opened the front door.

Suiren took a moment but quickly nodded her head as she followed him inside.

Fuyōna took her to the kitchen, where they could sit down around a table and chat for a while.

He placed the kettle on the stove and prepared the teacups before sitting opposite Suiren and giving her a smile.

Suiren was a little nervous and tried her best not to blush at his smile.

"So, Suiren, you were saying something about a mission with the cypher division?" Fuyōna asked.

Suiren nodded as her shyness went away.

"Yes, sorry. I know I'm not supposed to tell you, but I feel so at ease around you it just slipped out." She said.

"What about the part where a member of the ninja swordsmen will be your bodyguard?" Fuyōna asked, leaning towards her a little.

She was a little taken back by his advance, and she leaned back a little, not sure what to do.

"Well... Rumour has it that our bodyguard will be Kisame Hoshigaki..." She said, giving him the information.

The clogs inside his brain turned and twisted as his memory suddenly flared to life.

"When did you say you are going on this mission?" Fuyōna asked, trying not to seem too panicked.

"It's not tomorrow but the day after," Suiren said.

Fuyōna was about to say something, but the whistle of the kettle cut him off. He looked over to the kettle and then back to Suiren.

"I'll get the tea." He said with a smile.

Fuyōna turned the stove off and started to pour the boiling water into the cups. If he were right, Kisame would kill the entire team on this mission at the orders of Fuguki. Then he would kill him and take his sword before Obito would reveal himself to him and recruit him into the Akatsuki.

This information changed his whole plan, and he would have to notify Ao about it. If Obito would reveal himself to Kisame, then perhaps he could set up an ambush to undo the genjutsu.

His choice now was between a battle against the Mizukage and the three tails. Or potentially Obito and Kisame. He would have to think long and hard about his decision before he came up with a plan.

However, first thing was first. He had to stop Suiren from going on that mission. Fuyōna had finished pouring the tea and placed Suiren's cup next to her on the table.

"Make sure to blow. It's hot." He said as he sat back down.

Suiren's eyes opened a little wide as her cheeks went red before she grabbed her teacup.

"T-Thanks." She said.

Fuyōna didn't think anything of it and sipped his tea slowly.

"So, how are your teammates? Do you see them much?" Fuyōna asked.

Suiren regained her composure and sipped her tea.

"Yes, they are doing well! Ganryū is in the Anbu tracking unit now, and Junsai is an instructor at the academy." She said with a smile.

Fuyōna was glad to hear they were doing well. After all, Suiren and Junsai had both been killed in the original story.

"How long have you been a member of the cypher division?" Fuyōna asked.

"For about a month now. Lord Fuguki is very strict, but my teammates are friendly." She said.

"That's good. It always helps when you get along with your teammates." Fuyōna said, placing his teacup down on the table.

Suiren nodded.

"Yes, that is very true."She said as the conversation went a little quiet.

Fuyōna hadn't realised just yet as he was still trying to think of a way to stop her going on that mission.

Suiren sat there a feeling a little awkward. She couldn't help but notice the serious expression on his face.

"What is it Fuyōna, is something the matter?" She asked, still holding her teacup with both hands.

Fuyōna snapped out of his daydream, realising he had been quiet for too long, making the atmosphere a little awkward.

"Sorry, Suiren, I was in my own little world for a moment there." He said.

Suiren waved her hands, "It's alright. I do it myself quite often."

Fuyōna noticed her smile and her perfect teeth. Unlike most mist shinobi, they were not filled down to use as a weapon.

She was a pretty woman, and he couldn't help be attracted to her.

"I'm sorry, Suiren, but this is for your own good," Fuyōna said as he suddenly started forming hand signs.

Suiren looked very surprised at what he was doing, so surprised she had failed to even move.

"The mission you are about to go on is a decoy, and Kisame will kill every one of you. I can't order you to go on it, but I can seal it and this conversation from your memory." Fuyōna said as he finished the hand signs.

Suiren pushed her chair back as she stood to her feet, feeling a little scared of what was happening.

"F-Fuyōna, what are you doing!" She shouted as she raised her hands in defence.

It was no use, though, as Fuyōna cleared the gap faster than she could blink and placed his hand on her forehead, enacting the sealing jutsu he was using.

"I will seal your memories of this entire conversation and the knowledge of your mission and duty. Once the jutsu is undone, all of the memories will return to you. I only hope you can forgive me." Fuyōna said as he activated the jutsu.

Suiren's eyes opened wide as the seal set on her forehead. Her body relaxed, and her eyes closed as she started to fall to the ground.

Fuyōna caught her in his arms and looked at her peaceful face.

"I'm sorry about this, Suiren, but there is nothing else I can do to save you. Please forgive me."

With that, Fuyōna took Suiren back home and put her in bed. She would have no memory of what had happened and no memory of her mission. This way, Fuyōna could save her life again.

Fuyōna returned home and decided it was time to check on the boys. Haku and Kimimaro had been training all day now, and Fuyōna looked forward to seeing their progress.

He entered the the dojo and could see his clone standing over them.

"Guess I had better release the jutsu and see what they have been doing," Fuyōna said as he did just that.

All the knowledge of his ice clone came rushing into his mind, and he smiled at their progress.

Haku and Kimimaro had now noticed the real Fuyōna was back, and they rushed over to greet him.

"Your back, Fuyōna sensei," Kimimaro said excitedly.

Haku did the same, and both of them looked happy.

"So boys, why don't we review your progress."

章節 38: Chapter 38:

The next day arrived faster than expected as Fuyōna slowly pulls himself out of bed. Today was the first day Haku and Kimimaro would be attending the academy, and they had been up late with excitement.

Fuyōna pulled his clothes on and walked down the hall to open their bedroom doors to wake them.

However, they weren't there.

"Where the hell have they gone?" He thought as he walked down the stairs.

Haku and Kimimaro were sat at the table to his surprise. Each of them setting quietly with an empty plate in front of them.

"Good morning, Fuyōna sensei." They both greeted with a slight bow.

"Good morning, boys. Have you eaten already?" He asked, noticing the empty plates.

"No... We were waiting for you, Sensei." Haku said with a sheepish look.

Fuyōna gave a big chuckle as he walked over to him and patted his head.

"Don't be silly. While you stay with me, you can eat as much as you like. No more starving." Fuyōna said with a severe tone.

Both of them seemed as if they were about to cry, and Fuyōna quickly changed the subject.

"Now who's hungry!" He said, getting a cheer.

After Fuyōna cooked them all breakfast, he told them to go and get ready for their first day as it was almost time to head out.

They did just that, and Fuyōna walked them down towards where they would be spending a lot of time.

"Alright, boys, remember. Try not to use your kekkie genkai as best you can, and dont kill any of the teachers or other kids, alright?"

Both Kiimaro and Haku looked at him and gave a nod.

"We promise Fuyōna sensei." They both said.

"Good. Now go and have fun." He said as he patted both of them on the shoulder, sending them inside the academy.

Fuyōna watched as they went in with the other kids, and he couldn't help feeling like a proud father.

"I will do my best to make you strong." Fuyōna thought to himself as he watched them vanish inside.

He didn't linger for long as he turned around and walked away. After all, he had more pressing matters to attend to.

Today was the day he had arranged a meeting with Ao and as many followers, they could gather within the villages ranks. It was tough as they had to choose those that would be willing to fight and those that would not betray them.

That left mostly only the subordinate of the leading members of the coup. Hopefully, Ao would work some magic, but Fuyōna doesn't want to get his hopes up.

Fuyōna headed to the secret location that the two of them had set. It was an old warehouse that had been abandoned and boarded up.

Ao had scouted it out using his byakugan, finding it had a large underground storage area that was empty.

Fuyōna had already placed a sealing tag inside it and entered an ice mirror, slipping out onto the platform as he joined Ao and the others.

Everyone was a little shocked at his entrance and suddenly went quiet at his arrival. Fuyōna hadn't realised there would be so many here, and at a glance, he counted around 60 shinobi.

"Sorry, I'm late." He said to Ao.

"It's no bother," Ao said as he walked over to address the crowd of shinobi.

"Better late than never, Fuyōna," Mei said, giving him a little wink as she walked over to greet him.

He hadn't seen her since their night together... And morning, and he felt a little bad.

"Hey Mei, good to see your here." He said, not letting himself feel awkward.

Mei smiled and crossed her arms over her chest, doing the same. After all, they were both adults.

"Fuyōna." A male voice that Fuyōna recognised called out.

Fuyōna turned around with a smile on his face as he greeted Hatsu.

"Hatsu, glad to see you got my message about the meeting." He said with a smile.

Hatsu nodded.

"That's right." He said as he pointed his hand to a man behind him.

"You remember Kaga." He said as the blond-haired man greeted him.

"It's good to see you again, captain Yuki!" He shouted with a razor-sharp smile on his face.

Fuyōna remembered that the last time he had seen Kaga was just after the whole Kazekage battle. He was glad to see he was still alive and well.

"Good to see you too, Kaga," Fuyōna said with a smile.

Ao suddenly spoke up as he got everyone's attention.

"Alright, you lot, settle down!" He shouted.

"Now, I have asked you all to gather here at the wish of a good friend of mine." He said as he stepped aside, allowing Fuyōna to take centre stage.

Everyone in the crowd started to whisper amongst themselves as they recognised who he was.

Fuyōna let them chat for a moment longer before he allowed his presence to spread, demanding respect and authority.

"Thank you, Ao." He said as he took centre stage.

"My name is Fuyōna Yuki." He said, letting it sink in.

"I have asked Ao and the others behind me to gather you here today to speak about something that may seem hard to believe."

He paused for a moment as he let his words sink in.

"It has come to my attention that our Mizukage is under a powerful genjutsu." He said, getting a hasty reaction.

Everyone suddenly burst out into murmurs as they couldn't help contain their thoughts.

"I know this is hard to believe. But he is being controlled, doing the bidding of another who is using him and our village for their own gain!"

Everyone was talking louder and louder now as they couldn't believe the news.

"Why should we believe you!" A voice shouted.

"Yeah, your one of those tailed beast monsters!" Another man shouted.

Fuyōna didn't respond as everyone else in the crowd started to shout at him.

"That's enough!!!" A voice shouted over them all, coming from the centre of the crowd.

Fuyōna looked to see who it was, surprised when he saw Ganryū, who was the team leader of the team Suiren was a part of.

"Those of you who know me know that I don't allow myself to follow others blindly." He said, getting their attention.

Ganryū was a respected member of the Anbu tracking unit and had completed many missions, holding a high success rate.

"I have worked with captain Yuki here before. If he says, it's true. Then it is!" He said, daring anyone to challenge him.

Ao also stepped forwards.

"It is true. I have seen it with my Byakugan." He said, getting a shocked reaction from everyone there.

"That's right. Fuyōna here is the only one of us who noticed it. Now you had better listen to what he has to say!" Mei said as she flicked her hair, getting a glance from all of the men in the room.

Fuyōna waited for it to go quiet again before he spoke.

"I have reason to believe that the one controlling our Mizukage is Madara Uchiha." He said, this time getting a seriously shocking reaction from everyone and not just the crowd.

Even Ao was shocked at the news as he looked to Mei to see if she knew this. She shuck her head and looked just as surprised as he did.

"I know this is hard to hear... But we must act. We must act before it is too late for our village. Before this, oppressor uses our Mizukage to start another war..." Fuyōna said.

This time no one spoke up against him, and they all eagerly awaited him to continue.

"Myself and the others here." He said, jesting to Ao, Mei, Hatsu and Kaga behind him.

"Have come up with a plan to break the genjutsu and hopefully save the Mizukage. If we can help it, we wish to avoid a battle at all costs."

This time Ao took the centre as he spoke.

"Our plan is to lure the Mizukage out of the village as far as we can get him so that if things get ugly, we can limit the destruction and number of casualties." He said, crossing his arms behind his back.

"It will be your job to stop any who remain loyal to the Mizukage through blind trust, from attempting to intervene in the battle, if it comes to that," Ao said.

"We wish to avoid a civil war if we can help it. But if not, we will need every able-bodied man and woman to hell fight for our villages freedom." Mei said, stepping forward.

The crowd of shinobi were starting to feel motivated as Ao and Mei stepped up, telling them the plan.

Fuyōna had counted on this, as the two of them were high in the ranks and held a lot of respect among the village forces.

Kaga and Hatsu had also risen in the ranks, making it to unit captain's and held a lot of respect from their own troops.

Fuyōna felt lucky to have made so many allies along his journey up until now, and he stepped forwards as Ao moved aside for him.

"Fuyōna Yuki will lead this operation as the strongest here. He is the only one who can break the genjutsu on the Mizukage. His word will be law for this mission."

No one said a word as they already knew his reputation. Being hailed as a Kage killer at the age of 14 was no joking matter.

"Alright. The mission will take place two days from now. There will only be one signal if things dont go to plan. I think you all know what it will be." He said.

The plan's full details had been laid out, and the crowd of Shinobi was dismissed, leaving only the leaders on the stage and Ganryū left in attendance.

Ao turned around to Fuyōna and asked what was on everyone's minds.

"How do you know it is Madara Uchiha?"

Fuyōna was expecting the question from one of them and crossed his arms.

"I thought he was long dead by now," Mei said.

Fuyōna nodded in response to their questions.

"It is true that I didn't tell you at first... I wanted to gather a little more information before we made a move. But now, my suspicions have come true. Do you remember hearing about the attack of the nine-tailed fox on the hidden leaf five years ago?" He said.

They all nodded as they came closer to listen to him.

"Well, it is beloved that Madara took control of the nine tails and battled the fourth Hokage."

The others gasped as he told them.

"How do you know all this?" Kaga asked.

"While I was away for three years, I wasn't just training. I was gathering as much intel as I could about the current events of the world. That is how I stumbled upon this information." Fuyōna said, telling an excellent lie.

He didn't want to lie to them, but he had no choice. After all, they would never believe the truth, even if he told them.

"If it comes down to it, I will be the one to battle against Madara or the Mizukage." He said.

"But Fuyōna, I can," Mei said.

"No." He said, cutting her off.

"If the mission goes south and we have to fight. I will need you and Ao to keep the others busy. We still have a few members of the seven swordsmen who remain loyal to the Mizukage and could pose a problem."

Mei didn't like it, but she backed down, knowing she wasn't as strong as he was.

Ao agreed with Fuyōna and listed the potential best matchups in case it came to a fight.

"Lord Fuguki and Kisame will pose a huge danger. Mei is the only one here other than Fuyōna who would stand a chance against them. Ao said.

"Don't forget about that kid, Mangetsu Hōzuki..." Hatsu said, reminding them.

He was one of the only members of the seven who had mastered all of the swords he had used and was considered an S rank ninja, not to be taken lightly due to his age.

Fuyōna remembered who he was and had yet to cross paths with him just yet.

"What about Zabuza?" Mei asked, noticing he wasn't here today.

Fuyōna sighed as he turned to look at her.

"We found out that Zabuza has gone rogue, leaving the village. I doubt he will be a problem." Fuyōna said, surprising those who didn't know yet.

"He went rogue?" Mei said in a surprised manner.

"I never thought he would do that."

"That should be the only other ninja in the village we will have trouble with," Ao said, unable to think of anymore else who would get in their way.

"That settles it then. I will take the Mizukage. Mei and Ao, you will handle Fuguki and Kisame." Fuyōna said, knowing it wouldn't come down to that as Fuguki would be dead, and Kisame will have left the village by then.

"That just leaves Mangetsu..." Ao said, sounding worried as he looked at the others.

"Even if all of you fight him at the same time, it could be a close one." He said.

Fuyōna placed his hand on Aos shoulder, calming him down.

"Don't worry, Ao. I can vouch for Hatsu and Kaga's strength. Besides, I dont think they will be alone." He said.

Everyone nodded and agreed on the plan that had been set out. Fuyōna knowing that Mei and Ao would also be able to deal with Mangetsu if needed, and against all of them, he wouldn't stand a chance.

They ended the meeting, and each of them left, going their own way. Mei, however, ran over to Fuyōna, trying to see if he wanted to hang out for a little while.

"You haven't called around in the last few days, Fuyōna... Should I be worried?" She asked playfully.

"Fuyōna gave a nervous laugh as he couldn't help notice her large breasts getting closer and closer to his face.

"Well, you see..."

"You can touch them if you want Fuyōna." She said, saying his name slowly in a sexy manner.

He had to admit he was very tempted and had to stop his hand from reaching out to grab them.

"I'm sorry, Mei." He said as he placed his hands on her shoulders instead."

Mei had a puppy dog expression on her face and pulled her lip down with her little finger looking sad.

"What's the matter Fuyōna, dont you want me anymore?" She said, clearly teasing him.

"It's not that Mei... I just think we should focus on the next few days before we decide to, well, fool around."

Mei sighed and pulled away.

"Your no fun, Fuyōna..." She said, crossing her arms.

She turned back to face him quickly, though, as her expression changed again.

"But you are worth the wait." She said with a wink as she blew a love heart-shaped vapour cloud into the air at him.

Fuyōna smiled nervously and realised she could melt him if he upset her and decided now was a good time to say goodbye.

With that, he gave her a wave before slipping into another ice mirror and stepping out into the kitchen of his new house.

It was already late afternoon, and Fuyōna hadn't realised how long that meeting had gone on for. He still had a lot to plan and think about.

He was sure he could take the Mizukage. The only question was, could he do it without killing him. Yagura was also a perfect jinchuriki and could cause a lot of damage if he got the chance.

Fuyōna pushed his thoughts to the back of his mind trying not to think about it anymore. He would do what needed to be done, and that was that.

As if on Que Haku and Kimimaro walked through the door into the house.

"Sensei, we're home!" Haku shouted as he ran into the kitchen, hoping he was there.

To Haku's disappointment, Fuyōna wasn't there.

"That's strange. I thought I could hear him." Haku said, turning to Kimimaro, who also walked into the kitchen.

Kimimaro suddenly turned around and blocked an attack from a bone club. Haku hadn't been so fast to react, and he got hit on the head.

"Ouch!" Haku shouted as he grabbed his head with his hands.

Fuyōna gave a small chuckle as he took a step back.

"Haku, what did I tell you about always being aware?" He said as he crossed his arms.

Kimimaro lowered his arm and smiled at the sight of his sensei.

"Well done, Kimimaro. Your reactions are already impressive. I expected nothing less."

Kimimaro couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, sensei."

"No fair!" Haku said.

"Now, now. How was your first day at the academy?" Fuyōna asked as he rubbed Haku's head to make it feel better.

Haku forgot all bout the pain and smiled instantly.

"It was really fun, sensei. We got to practice with some shuriken today!" He shouted.

Fuyōna raised an eyebrow in interest.

"Is that so?" He asked, amused.

Fuyōna took both of them outside into the large garden. He had placed a couple of target around the area and even put one behind a barrier of ice so that it was protected by it.

"Show me what you have learnt," Fuyōna said as he laid out a bunch of shuriken, kunai and senbon needles for them to use.

Both of them quickly grew excited as they took some of the weapons, ready to show Fuyōna what they could do.

"Alright, Kimimaro. You're first." Fuyōna said as he crossed his arms.

Kimimaro eyed all of the targets, including the one behind the layer of ice. He concentrated and suddenly let loose the projectiles one after the other.

They all hit the targets as his shuriken made a thumping sound as they hit the wood. Kimimaro had tried his best to throw his last shuriken at a curve so it would glide down to the last target, but it failed and hit the ice.

Kimimaro's expression dropped a little as he missed, clearly disappointed with himself.

"Well done, Kimimaro, not bad at all," Fuyōna said.

"Alright, Haku, you're up next. Think you can hit that last one?"

Haku nodded his head with a smile and prepared his shuriken. Fuyōna noticed that in one hand, he held shuriken and the other senbon needles.

Haku started throwing them at a good speed as each of them hit dead centre into their targets.

Haku did the same as Kimimaro with his last shuriken sending it off at a curve to get it to spin, however. Haku threw a senbon needle at the last second. The needle hit the shuriken and chanced its trajectory, sending the shuriken crashing into the target behind the ice, hitting the bullseye.

The senbon needle also bounced off and struck one of the other targets, not going to waste either.

Fuyōna was beyond impressed at Haku's display of shuriken jutsu and couldn't believe how naturally he took to it.

"Well done, Haku, that was very impressive." He said, walking over to him and patting his head.

Haku smiled with his checks going red from Fuyōnas praise.

"While we are here, Kimimaro, I would like to show you a jutsu that only you can use," Fuyōna said, getting his attention.

Fuyōna extended his hand and let them both watch as small bones started producing out of his fingertips.

Kimimaro's eyes went wide with amazement as well as Haku's.

Fuyōna suddenly turned around, spinning at a rapid rate as he fired the bone bullets, hitting all of the targets and ripping through them.

Both of the boys were speechless at the demonstration, and Fuyōna turned to face him.

"Remember Kimimaro. With our Kekkie Genkai, every bone in our body can be used as a weapon." He said, getting a nod from the boy.

"Wow, Kimimaro, that's so cool!" Haku shouted.

Kimimaro looked at his hand and did the same thing before throwing the bone bullets at the ice, shattering it.

"That's it, Kimimaro. Maybe one day, I will teach you how to add an element to that." Fuyōna said.

"What about me, sensei?" Haku asked.

"Your Kekkie Genkai is Hyōton, ice release. It doesn't work like that for you, I'm afraid." Fuyōna said, trying to explain it to him.

He had already told them about their abilities and Kekkei Genkai's, but they still had many questions.

"Don't worry, though, Haku. I will teach you how to use it for something like this." He said as he patted the boys on their heads again.

"Now on to the next bit of training," Fuyōna said as he took them over to a large tree.

"This next exercise will involve the control of your chakra. You must learn how to do this as it will help in everything you do. That goes for both of you." He said, looking at them.

"Now pay attention." He said as he placed his hands together for effect and started walking up the tree.

Both of their mouths were open wide as they watched Fuyōna walk all the way to the top of the tree.

"The trick is to focus your chakra into your feet and let it hold you to the surface", He said before he dropped back down to the ground.

"If your concentration breaks, you will fall. This is an essential skill, and one I want both of you to master."

Both Haku and Kimimaro looked at each other as they nodded. Placing these hands together to focus their chakra as they tried to walk up the tree.

To Fuyōns surprise, they both stuck to the tree line and started walking up, getting about halfway.

"Well, I'll be damned..." Fuyōna said, almost not believing they were doing so well on their first time.

Suddenly both of their concentration slipped, and they fell back down to the ground. Kimimaro landed on his feet like a cat, while Haku flipped last second, managing to catch himself on a branch to slow his fall.

"Not bad at all, boys, not bad at all," Fuyōna said, impressed.

"Now, let's see if you can do it under pressure." He said with a smile.

The boys looked at him in surprise as he threw them each a Kunai.

"Now walk back up the tree and mark how high you can get before you fall. Make sure not to lose your Kunai and watch out for projectiles."

"Projectiles?" Kimimaro asked.

"That's right," Fuyōna said as he crossed his arms.

The boys started to walk up the tree again, each of them trying their best not to lose focus.

Fuyōna let them get back to about halfway as he threw a small number of shuriken at each of them as a surprise.

Haku noticed the projectiles and tried not to panic as he blocked them. However, his ability to multi-task was still lacking, and his left foot lost its connection.

"Argh!" Haku shouted as he slipped a little further down the tree before managing to catch himself.

Kimimaro noticed the shuriken, and instead of blocking them, he simply ducked. Fuyōna had already expected that, and he threw another set that was coming from behind the boy.

Kimimaro didn't notice them until the last second and allowed two large bones to spike from his back to stop them.

"Not bad, Kimimaro. But can you do both?"

Kimimaro also felt his concentration laps as he had focused his chakra on using his Kekkei Genkai. Both of his feet slipped, and he fell down through the air flipping around before he landed in a spiderman pose.

Haku started to run as fast as he could to try and reach the top, taking advantage of Kimimaros fall.

"At this rate, I will get there first!" He said.

Fuyōna watched him go and was impressed to see how fast the boy was improving.

Kimimaro didn't look impressed, and suddenly, he burst up onto the tree with impressive speed.

"Looks like they are getting competitive." Fuyōna thought as he let loose another bunch of shuriken.

Haku could see the top of the tree and set his sight on it, running as quickly as he could to reach it.

Suddenly a shuriken hit the tree just above from where he was, and a layer of ice spread on top of the bark.

Haku stepped onto the ice, unable to react to it and slipped as soon as his foot touched it.

Kimimaro was halfway now, and this time, he quickly deflected the shuriken that came his way, not even taking his eye off his goal.

Another shuriken hit the tree and created a layer of ice over it just as it had done for Haku.

Kimimaro didn't care and stepped onto it using the bones in his feet to act as studs, so he didn't slip.

"You crafty little bugger," Fuyōna said as he couldn't help be impressed.

Haku noticed Kimimaro quicky gaining on him and knew if he fell now, he would lose.

As the boy fell back, he placed his hands on the tree, using his chakra to grip onto it like his feet.

Pulling himself back down, he pushed off, and both he and Kimimaro raced to the top neck and neck.

Each of them slammed their kunai into the top of the tree as they each grabbed the top branch at the same time.

They gave each other a hard look before they smiled and looked down at Fuyōna.

"I win, sensei!" They both shouted at the same time, looking at each other again as they laughed.

"Good work, boys, but I'm afraid you are wrong." He said as he suddenly melted into water.

"I'm afraid that I won." He said from above them as he was already stood at the top of the tree.

"Wahh!" They both shouted in amazement as they turned to look at their sensei.

"When did you?" Kimimaro said, shocked that he hadn't noticed Fuyōna there at all.

"Wow, sensei, that's so cool!" Haku said as he jumped a little.

Fuyōna smiled as he crossed his arms.

"Now, how about we have some food!"
