Yami : The Gamer Kage {Complete} Chapter 16 .....

"And then when the laxities start to kick in and you rush to the bathroom, the moment your hand touches the door, the seal will activate, teleporting you into the middle of the market. So you'll either shit yourself, or make the road brown. Do you understand me?"

"Yes! Perfect!" Sakura said with tears in her eyes, "I swear I won't ever reveal your secret! Ever!"

I turned to Sasuke, who's eyes had widened frighteningly, I didn't even say anything to get him to agree. I then turned to Naruto who was shaking his head faster than Sakura's. And then finally to Kakashi.

"Hm? Did you say something?" Kakashi asked.

"You say something, and next time Gai comes looking for you I'll use my sensory skills to track you down and deliver him right to you. You can hand hide for now, but cross me and I promise you'll need to leave the Land of Fire to get away from me Kakashi Hatake."

The jonin looked up at me and sighed, "deal."

I smiled, "good," I turned it Misu.

"No trouble from me sonny boy," she held her hands up in surrender, "I know better than to get on your bad side."

I sighed, "thank God," I turned to Naruto, "this is why I don't tell you shit Naruto, you can't keep quiet!"

"I'm sorry okay! Besides, I don't know what the big deal is, it's not like people can love you even more," he said with a grumble.

"Yami, I have a question," Sakura said, "why doesn't Diana wear leg armour for her thighs? Isn't that impractical?"

I sighed, "because the garb of the amazons don't call for thigh armour, hence her armour doesn't have any."

"But why? That seems stupid," Sakura blinked,

"The Amazons were a female warrior race, as such the people who came to fight them wanted them as slaves to be used. Thy wouldn't risk damage their potential sex slaves by striking them near the groin, hence it was pointless to wear armour there."

"Amazing," Sakura said, "you have it all planned out to such an amazing degree."

"Batman," Sasuke asked, "why did you make a character like him?"

I blinked, "oh, right. You can really a lot I guess with such a figure, wanting to avenge his parents murder and all. Believe it or not, I actually did write that character around the tragedy you faced Sasuke."

"You did?!" Naruto asked, "but you never wrote about me!"

I smirked, "I did, you just never payed attention. Anyway, back to my point. I wanted to show many things with the Batman character, but the most important for you, would be knowing the difference between vengeance and justice. Bruce didn't at first, but he learnt too as he took the title of Batman, he became more than just a man, he channeled his pain into making sure such an act would never befall another person again," I looked at Sasuke, "or in your case, another clan."

The Uchiha looked like he had a lot to think about, he just nodded and continued waked. "But what about her lasso?" Sakura asked, "that isn't a warrior's weapon, so why a whip?"

I sighed, "because I thought it would sound cool alright? Not everything is planned out."

"Oh….why is Superman's weakness a rock?"

I turned to Naruto, "this is why I didn't want people to know," I sighed and turned to her, answering all her questions, and believe me, there were a lot.

Three days later:

It took us quite some time to get back home. I know find myself standing near the back with Misu while Kakashi debriefed the Hokage.

"...we were then approached by more of Gato's hired goons but managed to fight them off. Yami took care of them single handedly, he didn't kill any of the six hundred, he let them walk. With a few broken limbs and internal bleeding. After that Tazuna managed to finish building the bridge and our mission was completed. There is the matter of Gato trying to get his claws into that land for his drug trade operations that Yami discovered on his day off, it could possibly get him to try and take over the Land again."

"I see," the Hokage puffed his pipe, "and in your professional opinion how do you think Gato should be handled?"

"He should be snipped into the bud, permanently. I suggest sending the ANBU, or a more qualified team," Kakashi looked over at me, "someone who's more open to the idea of taking care of an issue."

"I can do it if the mission requires it," I told him, "I just prefer not to commit mass murder before I hit puberty."

"Yami does have the moral high ground on us Kakashi," the Hokage chuckled, "but either way, I'll take your advice and see what I can do. Congratulations team 7, you have officially completed your first B rank mission, though I'll admit, it did get a little dangerous out them. Yami, thank you for taking care of them, I'm sure you saved them a lot of heartache."

I grinned, "not a problem sir, not a problem at all."

Do you Accept?

Y/N?

I blinked, okay what's this quest? Usually I'm told the details and then I get an option to accept but this..hm, why not? It's not like I have anything better to do. I selected yes.

The Hokage looked at Misu and smiled, "I see that once again Konoha can play host to an Uzumaki. Kakashi has informed me beforehand of your circumstances Misu Uzumaki, of course you're more than welcome to stay in Konoha."

Misu bowed, "thank you lord Hokage, I'm grateful for the chance to stay with my grandson," she smiled at Naruto, "it means the world to me that I found my family once more, thank you for letting me stay here."

"Of course. Now, we can provide living arrangements for you, it won't be anything fantastical, but it should be suitable. I'll have someone show you around and-"

"-Actually, Yami and Naruto have offered me their home to stay," Misu smiled at me, "after all it seems this young man here can afford it, so I was convinced to take him up on his offer."

"Ah, I see, very well, that's fine too," the Hokage nodded as he took out a file from his table, "you'll have to fill these forms up in order to officialise the process. Naruto, why don't you and your teammates help your grandmother out with these papers? And I'm sure she would love a tour of Konoha as well."

"You got it jiji!" Naruto grinned as he took the forms, "come on grandma! I'll show you around! Come on Sakura! Sasuke!"

I don't know if Naruto realised he was being dismissed, but he sure moved fast. The moment the three genin and old woman were out the door the attitude in the room change. It was no longer fun and games, the Hokage had his game face on.

"The ninjas you sent us were...peculiar to say the least," Hiruzen sighed as he put the pipe away, "do you know who they are?"

"Zabuza, the Demon of the Mist," I replied, "I'm not sure who the second one was though."

"Not that you gave him enough time to introduce himself before you beat him into a coma," Kakashi murmured form inside his book.

The Hokage smiled, "yes, I heared about that. I must say, your speed is already one of...great talk. But I must say, six hundred enemies in five minutes? I doubt even the Fourth could have done that."

"The Fourth didn't have the Swift Release," I spoke up.

The Hokage nodded, "yes, you're unique kekkei genkai. I must say I've given it some though and I have to say your theory on being in such control that you can make you own elemental affinities sounds a bit odd….if I didn't just see you do it myself in the fight with Orochimaru. As such I believe you'll be the perfect flag man for this new mission," he took out a scroll with the label 'S' on the front.

I raised an eyebrow, "an S rank? What's the mission?"

"Free Kiri," was his simple reply.

"Okay….a little more information please. Last thing you mentioned were about the prisoners we brought in."

The Hokage nodded, "yes. Tell me Yami, what do you know about the situation in Kiri right now?"

"Two factions, one with the Mizukage and blood purists and the other lead by bloodline supporters. I'm not really sure who's winning though."

The Hokage nodded, "it's a close war, which is why I want you to make sure that one side wins."

"Which side will Konoha be supporting?" I asked.

"The bloodline users," the man explained as he leaned back on his chair, "can you guess my reasoning?"

"Because...because if we win the entirety of Kiri will owe us one, making them valuable allies which will encourage Suna to continued their friendship with us and make Iwa and Kumo to back off. If we lose however we can offer the bloodline users trying to escape a safe haven in Konoha, thereby gaining more kekkai genkais for ourselves. And there would be no question of their loyalty since they would owe us their lives."

Kakashi closed his book and looked at me, "Asuma wasn't kidding, you do sound like a Nara."

I shrugged, "it's a gift."

"As you said Yami, Kiri's instability is our opportunity," the Hokage looked serious, "I wouldn't even consider this an option, but after seeing your abilities on display, I believe we just might have a chance to make this work."

I nodded, "I'm ready sir."

"Good," the man nodded as he got up, "come with me, it's time we talked to our Kiri guests," we left the tower immediately, the Hokage's ANBU guards followed us from a distance, while we stood out in the open, walking towards the East where the T&I office was located.

We reached there soon enough and the Hokage entered. The moment we stepped in we were greeted by two familiar individuals, Ibiki Morino and Anko Mitarashi.

Ibiki Morino, Sadist

Lv- 79

REP- 60

Anko Mitarashi, Sexy and Single

Lv- 75

REP- 87

Woah, 87 REP? What did I do? Oh wait, she hates Orochimaru, and I did kind of kick his ass...hm, cool.

Ibiki wore his trademark black overcoat and black uniform while Anko had her brown overcoat and a skin tight mesh that hugged her curves. They might now be as impressive as Samui's, btu I can say for certain she was the bustiest ninja this village had at the moment.

"Lord Hokage," Ibiki bowed, "we've prepared them, please, this way," he guided us into the building. I felt my chakra sense flare, Ibiki's charka was normal, around jonin level. But Anko's, she was like a painting, a bicoloured painting. Her chakra was a mix of hers and Orochimaru's, immediately my eyes were drawn to her neck where it came flying off in waves.

Anko looked over and smirked, "like something you see her squirt?"

I smiled, "if I said you would that be too corny?"

"Oh, I like you. But sorry, you're too young for me," she winked, "call me when you start growing some hair down there okay?"

"Does that mean you'll give me your number then?" I asked.

Anko blinked, "are you serious?"

I smiled, "very. You're probably the hottest chick in the village," I sighed, "which is really really depressing considering you're like what? 20?"

"Yup!" she smirked.

"See! Argh! This is so unfair! Why couldn't I have been born sooner! All the hot chicks are at least 20!"

"Give it time Yami, I'm sure your generation has many beauties in it as well," the Hokage smirked.

"Like who? Sakura is with Naruto, Hinata loves Naruto, Ino is a gossip queen with the emotional depth of a teaspoon, China's a fangirl," que my shiver of disgust, "and Tenten's would rather date a sword then a guy! And you know the worst part?!"

"They All have flat chests?" Kakashi guessed.

"EXACTLY!" I cried out, "oh, and by the way, Kakashi sensei, you're kind of a perv."

"Ah, now I see why you were so interested with that kumo kunoichi," Hiruzen smiled, "and here I was thinking it's because of her personality."

"Did have some nice personalities," I snickered.

"Are you seriously the same kid who fought Orochimaru?" Anko asked with an amused smirk, "you sound like a horny teenager."

I shrugged, "how can I be, when I'm not even a teenager?"

Anko rolled her eyes before turning to the Hokage, "did her seriously face Orochimaru? Or was that just some rumor we heard?"

The old man nodded, "I assure you Anko, it was no rumour. Yami here did face my old student, and he almost won."

Anko turned to me with wide eyes, "how?"

I shrugged, "I can use the Flying Thunder God jutsu."

"You can?!" Anko's eyes widened, "how?!"

"I'm somewhat of a seal master," I told her before my eyes went to her neck, "and speaking of seals, you have a particularly nasty one on you right now. And it reeks of Orochimaru's chakra."

Anko's steps halted for a moment before she continued, "how can you tell?"

"I'm a seal master, plus I can sense chakra signatures. His is right there, inside of you, just above the surface, itching to break out. You need to do something about it, the restrictions you place around it aren't very good."

"Jiraiya himself designed that restriction," the Hokage explained.

"And yet, it's not strong enough," I hummed, "I could take a look if you want, try and see if I can fix it."

"Can you?" Anko asked, going over the Hokage's head.

I blinked, "I can try."

Anko turned to the Hokage, "can he?"

"I know Yami is a skilled seal maker, he has to be considering his accomplishments with the Flying Thunder God jutsu," the Hokage hummed, "it couldn't hurt for him to take a look."

Anko touched her neck, "I'm free right now."

I turned to the Hokage, "should I try after we meet Zabuza?"

The man nodded, "yes. Take how much every time you need. Oh, and try to get Misu involved as well. An Uzumaki's eyes will always be an asset."

I nodded as we continued into the dungeons. Finally we stopped at a door, Ibiki opened it and inside was a table and chair and bounded before the table was Zabuza and Haku, bot covered with chakra suppression seals and chains.

They both looked at me, and immediately they recognized me. "You little shit!" Zabuza cried out, "I'm going to fucking kill you!"

I snorted, "yeah yeah, sure you will."

"Sir Ninja, can you do me the honour of telling me your name?" Haku asked, far more politely, but the anger was still there.

"Sure, it's Kakashi Hatake, I like reading porn because I'm going to die alone and a virgin," I gave him a thumbs up.

"What?" Kakashi turned to me, "you think I'm a virgin?"

"Aren't you?" I asked him.

"No."

"I don't believe you."

"Why?"

"Because why do read so much porn on a daily basis when you could instead physically touch someone?"

"Because women are trouble."

"Okay, then why not men?"

"I'm not gay."

"Your best friends wears skin tight green spandex and always tries to get physical with you. YOu may not be gay, but you sure so attract a lot of gay looks."

"Kind of like how Zabuza is looking at you?"

"Exactly."

"I'm not gay!" Zabuza cried out.

"Oh, someone's very homophobic isn't he?" I snorted.

"Such a prune," Kakashi nodded.

"Obviously he's just doing his best to deny it. I mean look at the company he keeps. A guy that looks like a girl? Obviously he's gay, but isn't man enough to admit it."

"When I get out of here I'm going to fucking kill you! You hear me brat?! I'm going to gut you!" Zabuza roared as he sent out waves of killing intent which I easily brushed off thanks to Gamer's Mind.

"Enough," the Hokage said, his voice cutting through Zabuza's anger, "we aren't here to fight like babies. We are here Zabuza Momochi, to offer you and your allie, an offer."

"Whatever it is you can shove it up your-"

"-We're offering to help you free Kiri," Hiruzen cut in, stopping Zabuza in his tracks and making Haku widen his eyes in surprise.

"W-what?" Zabuza asked.

"We're aware of why you were kicked out of Kiri," the Hokage continued, "we're offering you a chance to make things right and bring stability back to your land."

"In exchange for what?" Zabuza growled.

"In exchange for a partnership," Sarutobi replied, "Kiri and Konoha have never been allies…, perhaps it's time to change that yes?"

"How? What are you willing to provide? What guarantees can you make?" Zabuza shot off.

"I have yet to speak with the Daimyo about this, so I cannot guarantee the full support of the Land of fire, yet. But I can make you one," Sarutobi said before pointing to me, "he will be coming with you."

Zabuza halted, he turned to me and glared, "what's your name kid?"

"Yami, orphan," I replied.

"I heard about you," Zabuza snorted, "I heard you fought off that snake bastard single handedly. They call you the second Flash of Konoha."

I shrugged, "honestly I would prefer a cooler and more original name, but hey, it's not like I care."

"Just him?" Zabuza asked the Hokage, "we need more! The Mizukage has forces of jonin and chunin, the resistance barely has a handful of jonin level fighters."

"I can also spare you some chunin, but until I gain permission from the Daimyo, that's all I can do," the Hokage sighed.

The Demon of the Mist growled, "fine! What do I have to do."

Hiruzen then began to lay down the terms for the mission. They would first got to Hono and get permission from the daimyo, fi he denies it, they we would go over his head and sneak into Kiri secretly and help the resistance. If he does give us permission then we'll send a team of 50 chunin ninjas, and me, over and publically fight with the resistance movement. Either way, it looks like I'm heading to Kiri.

After the little 'integration', Zabuza and Haku were sent back to their cells and the Hokage dismissed Kakashi and me, ordering me alone to return tomorrow morning for a new mission. And the moment I was dismissed, Anko grabbed me and pulled me aside.

"Alright kid, when do we do this?" she asked nervously.

"I'm free right now," I shrugged, "come with me to my house, we can use my work room. I'm sure Misu will be there by now as well, she can help."

"Who's Misu?" she asked as he ran off through the village rooftops.

"An Uzumaki seal mistress," I told her as we arrived at my place fairly quickly, "she' good. Very good."

Anko nodded as we walked up to my apartment door, I felt Misu and Naruto inside, good. I opened the door, "hey guys, I'm back. And I brought a friend."

"Who?" Naruto asked from the kitchen.

"Naruto, this is Anko," I said introducing her to them, "Anko, Naruto and his grandmother Misu Uzumaki."

"Oh who's this? Your girlfriend?" Misu asked in a teasing tone.

"I wish," I snorted.

"He's too young for me," Anko replied.

I rolled my eyes, "anyway, Misu, I was hoping you could help me out. You see Anko has this nasty curse seal on her neck, you think you can help me remove it?"

Misu blinked, "well, it's certainly not my area of expertises, but I'll do my best. But maybe we can do it after lunch yes? I'm famished, I'm sure Ms. Anko feels the same."

"Oh please ma'am, Anko's fine," Anko smiled, "and yes, I could eat. Where do you want to go? I know this great dango place we can try!"

"Dango? Pft please, let's go to Ichiraku's! We can have some ramen!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Ramen?! You want to eat ramen for lunch?!" Anko gasped, "that's disgusting!"

"You wanted to have sweets!"

"So? Dango is the food of the Gods!"

"No! Ramen is the food of the Gods!"

"Dango!"

"Ramen!"

"Dango!"

"Ramen!"

"Shut up!" I cried out, "not another word for the both of you!" I groaned as I pinched my nose, "God, it's like I'm stuck with two Narutos!"

"Hey! Take that back! I'm nothing like this pipsqueak!" Anko cried.

"Oh yeah?! You should be honoured to be compared to me crazy lady!" Naruto yelled.

"What did you say brat?!"

"Enough!" I yelled once more, "for the love of God enough! We aren't going out, sit down the both of you, I'll make us something. Just please, for the love of God don't start yelling again!" I groaned as I took off my coat and jacket, putting them up to hang before I unzipped my armour loosening the straps up.

"You can cook?" Anko asked in surprise.

"Yeah! Yami's the best cook I know!" Naruto grinned, "his food always makes me feel powerful!"

I rolled my eyes as I took out a bunch of ingredients to make some curry and rice, "that's because it's home made, and not store bought," I made three clones and each set out to help me make lunch.

"You know you could just let them do all the work," Anko suggested as she and Naruto sat down by the kitchen counter to watch.

"Hey!" a clone cried out, "that's slavery man!"

"If he did that, then we would make clones to do our work for us!" another replied.

I smirked, "that's the problem with three different versions of me. All of them are cocky little shits. Plus, if I'm not willing to do the work, they won't either."

Anko snorted, "that's silly, taking orders from a clone."

"Says the woman wearing nothing but skin tight mesh," I smiled, "not that I'm complaining. It's certainly helping me reach puberty faster."

"Yes, you can't you wear something decent," Misu snorted, "you're giving kunoichi's everywhere a bad name."

Anko groaned, "bit me you old prune."

"Relax Anko, she' just jealous," I smirked, "you see, every woman who has ever insulted you because of your looks is doing so because of one reason, you are the hottest woman in this village and they know it."

"What?! No way! Sakura is much prettier!" Naruto cried out.

I rolled my eyes, "Sakura has the curves of a chopping board, that is to say, none."

"There is more to what make a woman attractive then just her body Yami, I thought someone as mature as you would know that," Misu huffed.

"I'm surrounded my kunoichi's grandma,they're all intelligent and powerful, so the only way one can be considered superior to the other, is because of their body. And Anko over here has the best body in the whole of Konoha!" I cried out, "isn't that right boys?!"

"Hell yeah!" the clones cried out.

Anko grinned, "okay, now you're laying it on a little thick there. I know I'm hot, but there's no way I'm the hottest chick in the village."

My clones and I looked at her and raised an eyebrow, "really?" I asked, "name me one kunoichi with bigger breasts and a hotter body that you."

Anko smirked, "that's easy…..ah….wait a minutes….give me a second," she groaned, "I….oh my God! I am the hottest kunoichi in the village!"

I sighed, "yes, and you're like 20. Why can't chicks my age be just as hot?! ARGH!"

"This is frustrating!" a clone yelled.

"What's the point of being super awesome if you don't have a chick to share it with?!" another yelled out.

"It's like the Academy all over again. The only chicks who get us are older and wouldn't be caught dead looking at us!" the clone to my right cried out.

"Now now Yami, I'm sure there's a girl out there just for you," Misu smiled, "and I'm also sure she'll appreciate it if you stopped looking at women as sexual objects."

"There's nothing wrong with appreciating someone's beauty you old bag of bone," Anko snorted.

"Bag of bones?! How dare you!"

And it went like this for some time until lunch was served. We sat down in the rarely used dining table as the clones set up the table. I served everyone some curry with rice, the food gaining a 64% bonus from my cooking skills.

"Looks good," Misu said with a smile.

"Thanks for the mean!" Naruto yelled as he began scarfing down the food.

"Honestly ramen boy, can't you act with some decency?" Anko snorted taking her own spoon, "honestly, animal."

"Naruto tends to get enthusiastic about food," I shrugged as I ate some, "please, try some."

"Right," Anko scooped some curry and rice and swallowed it. Immediately her eyes widened, "this is amazing!"

"You're a good cook Yami," Misu nodded as they began to scarf down the curry and rice.

"Oh please, you flatter me," I smiled as they quickly finished their plates, "you might want to slow down there guys."

"More please!" Anko cried out, ehr plate empty and her eyes shining.

I blinked, "ah, okay," I filled her plate up, and then Naruto's and then Mitsu's. Guess they really liked it.

Twenty minutes later and we were all on the couch stuffed. Anko groaned as she patted her belly, "how does it taste so good?"

"I told you, Yami's a great cook," Naruto groaned.

"Good isn't cutting it," Misu sighed, "that was amazing. It's like I have twice as much energy as before."

I smiled, "you're welcome. By the way Anko, I also give great oil massages," I winked.

She snorted, "still not interested short stuff."

I smiled, "one day when I'm all grown up and hot and your old and you boobs start to sag, you'll regret not going out with me now."

Anko waved her hand, "yeah yeah, I'm sure."

"Right...anyway, shall we begin?" I stood up, game face on.

"Right," Misu looked serious as well as she turned to Anko, "where shall we do this?"

"My workroom," I lead them inside. The clones had worked and cleared it out, setting up a futon on the floor and scrolls and ink around.

I took out my tools and removed my armour, relieving the plain cotton shirt I wore underneath. I rolled up my sleeves and pointed to the futon, "please, take off your coat and lay on your stomach."

Anko nodded as she did just that, putting her hands under her chin to look up straight. I turned to Naruto, "Naruto, this is sort of a private thing for Anko, so if you could step out."

"It's fine," Anko said, "I don't mind. Just don't ask too many questions ramen boy."

"Yeah yeah dango lady," Naruto huffed as he closed the door behind him.

I kneeled next to her neck and pulled the mesh down revealing her curse mark. It was in the form of three tomoes, similar to the sharingan's commas. I observed it;

Cursed Seal of Heaven, S rank

The user receives increased chakra levels and physical capabilities when the seal is active.

SEALED: Evil Sealing Method

I snorted, "pathetic. The seal itself is impressive, but the way it's sealed off from you. Honestly, it's like a bandage for a gaping wound."

"Can you do something about it?" Anko asked.

Misu hummed as she approached the seal and channeled chakra into her fingertips. "This might sting a little," she wanted.

"Do it," Anko gritted her teeth.

Misu pressed her fingers on the seal and turned them clockwise, causing the seal to suddenly explode into kanji that spread all over Anko's body.

"Shit!" Anko hissed, "what did you do?"

"It's called a revealing touch," I explained, "it allows us to view just how the seal was constructed and what different parts makes it up. You'll need to remove your mesh Anko, we can't see some of them."

"You sure this isn't just a plot for you to look at my breast?" Anko snorted.

"Believe me Anko, I would rather see you magnificent breasts when we're not trying to remove a curse seal. But hey, if you want you can show me them again after we're done," I chuckled.

"Yeah, keep dreaming kid," Anko snorted as she slowly removed her mesh. I made sure not to stare, I just saw a hint of her nipples before she went back down. I looked back and saw Naruto looking away, his face red.

I sighed and got back to work. Misu and I scanned the seals on her back, they were intricate and...well, complex. But I think I'm beginning to understand how they work.

I hissed, "this is both the most amazing and disgusting seal I have ever seen in my life. It's so complex and brilliant, but at the same time it's so disgusting and perverse."

"Hm, I can't seem to decipher this part Yami, can you?" Misu asked.

"Hm," I looked at the kanji, "it says how the seal's going to store away Orochimaru's chakra...no...wait, not chakra...oh shit!"

"What? What happened?" Anko asked.

I needed to get a look at this thing, a good look at it. I need...my Sharingan eyes, they could see chakra networks, but I can't reveal myself. Shit! No choice.

I looked up, "Misu, Naruto, I need you both to look away for a moment."

"What? Why?" Naruto asked.

"I'm about to try something...different," I told him, "please, just for a moment."

"Hey there, don't go getting any ideas kid, I'm not afraid to cleave a kid's dick off!" Anko yelled back.

"Oh hush you," I grumbled before turning to the two Uzumaki's, "please, don't ask questions."

They both nodded and turned away. I looked at ANko and channeled chakra into my eyes and once again my vision began to slow down, it became clearer and more controlled. I looked with my red eyes and saw the way Anko's chakra moved and interacted with the seal and with what was inside the seal. A bit of Orochimaru's chakra, and his soul.

I could see it, that disgusting purple aura, so much more condensed than chakra. It generated its own chakra, it couldn't be anything else but his soul.

I deactivated my eyes and sighed, "you can look again."

"What did you find?" Misu asked.

"It's a fucking horcrux," I spat, "you can put your mesh back on Anko. I'm done."

"What's a horcrux?" Misu asked.

"It's an idea I toyed it, just on paper," I quickly said as Anko got up and looked at me, "it's basically...it's a way for you to become immortal."

"I'm sorry what?" Anko blinked, "immortal?"

I nodded, "yeah. It's like this, you take a piece of your own soul and put it into another container. That way if your main body dies, you have a backup in another body and eventually, the soul will take over the host, like a fungus."

Anko's hand went to her seal, "t-this is supposed to kill me and change me into another Orochimaru?"

"Not if you don't use it, and since you don't nothing will happen to you. You see the more you use it the more tired you become with his chakra and the easier it will be for the host to take over. It's...it's fucking disgusting."

Anko looked pale. Even Misu looked horrified, "I have never in all my years ever heard of someone doing something like that."

I sighed, "welcome to the modern world grandma Uzumaki."

"Can you remove it?" Anko asked immediately, "you know what it is, can you destroy it?"

"I can't destroy it," I sighed, "not without killing the host."

Anko groaned, "fuck!"

"But," I sighed rubbing my eyes, they were itchy, I really need to get used to using my red eyes, "I can do something about it."

Ping!

Do you accept?

Y/N?

"How?" Anko asked.

I selected yes and explained, "the purpose of the seal is to serve as a container for a soul. Only the thing inside is like magma, you try to do anything and you'll destroy the vessel, you try to remove it, it'll melt the container along the way. But, if you use it like it's designed to be used...then the vessel if left unharmed."

"Y-you want to turn me into Orochimaru?!" Anko cried out.

"No, not you," I told her. I grabbed a scroll and opened it up, "what I'm saying is, we pour his soul into something else, something that can contain it."

"Do you have something like that?" Misu asked.

"No...but I can make on," I groaned, "a pot maybe, something to pour the magma into and the seal it away for good."

"C-can you actually do that?" Anko asked rubbing her neck.

I nodded, "I can try," I turned to Misu, "with your help."

The Uzumaki woman nodded, "I'll help where I can. Might as well show Konoha how grateful I am by helping one of their own."

"Right," I smiled and looked at Anko, "I have a mission tomorrow, I don't know how long I'll be gone, but I'll talk to the Hokage and try to fix something up for you."

Anko smiled, "thank you!" she leaped hugging me tightly by shoving my head between her breast, "you're the best!"

I grinned, 'Oh GOD YES! I love this! I should be nicer to people more often!'

The Next Day:

After her examination Anko stayed for an hour, arguing with Naruto about which was better, ramen or dango. Obviously the two morons enjoyed making such a stupid argument. Anko may be hot, but boy is she dumb.

I arrived at the Hokage's office right on time and waited for him to finish up with his previous meeting. The doors open and a man I was weary off walked out. He had his right eye bandaged, his right arm tucked away and walked with a cane. He had an 'X' shaped scar on his chin and a deadly presence about him.

Danzo Shimura, The Root

Lv- 86

REP- 56

He looked at me, and I looked back. He bowed, an action I copied. He then said nothing as he walked away, tapping his cane. I looked at his back and activated my red eyes. I could see the uchiha implants on his right arm and under his bandaged right eye. It was...pervers.

"Yami, please, go in," the Hokage's assistant called out. I deactivated my eyes and walked inside, closing the door behind me.

"Yami, sorry about making you wait," Hiruzen sighed as he puffed his pipe, "that was….a difficult meeting."

"That man was Danzo Shimura yes?" I asked.

The Hokage nodded, "yes, my old friend."

"He still had black hair, how old could he be?"

Sarutobi smiled, "I suspect he dyes it, would never admit it though."

I saw a chance to expose the man, I could claim that I could sense the first Hokage's chakra inside of him, or maybe even the sharingan eyes but...if Sarutobi hasn't done anything about Danzo by now, chances are he never will.

I cleared my throat, "right...the mission sir?"

"First we appeal to the Fire Daimyo," the Hokage said as he got up from his chair, causing five ANBU agents to come to his side immediately, "we shall be leaving by two today," he motioned me over as we left his office, the ANBU following us closely, "be ready for a difficult journey, you'll be making few stops and traveling at chunin speeds."

I smirked, "I think I can handle it."

The Hokage returned that smile, "yes, of course. I'll be coming along with elders Mitokado and Utatane separately, you and the ANBU team will go on ahead and protect the Fire Daimyo and his court, escorting them to an agreed upon location. Eagle," he motioned for an ANBU member wearing an Eagle mask, "have Yami ready, he'll be serving as a gaurd."

"Yes Lord Hokage," Eagle bowed as he stepped back.

"Yami, you are not allowed to reveal you identity under any circumstances unless ordered too understood?" the Hokage stopped by the door.

"Yes. But what if I'm forced to use the Flying Thunder God jutsu to protect the client?" I asked.

"Exceptions can be made. And do not use your scorch release of swift release if you can help it. I don't want the Daimyo to think you are our only trump card," he ordered, "dismissed."

Do you accept?

Y/N?

I accepted the mission and nodded. I then turned to the ANBU who to motioned me to follow them. They lept out an open window and I quickly followed them.

As we hopped along the village roof tops I stopped to realise just how much slower they all were when compared to me. I found myself having to slow down to let them lead. Maybe it was because they didn't want to use their full strength right anyway, or maybe it was because they were just slow.

We made it to a tall ten story building near the edge of the village. It was a fortress, obviously the ANBU headquarters. They directed me into a large vent on the roof and motioned me inside. I guess that meant this was the actual entrance they used.

The vents were a maze, I had to cut to fit in and follow them through, memorising the vent's pathway. They finally opened a gate and I dropped down into what looked like a looker room with a wall filled with masks.

"Here," Eagle, who I'm guessing was a guy, pointed at a locker, inside of which was the standard ANBU uniform.

ANBU uniform, A rank

Uniform worn by Konoha's elite ninja squad.

+20% to stealth

Durability- 300/300

Damn, the bonus is nice, but the durability was shit. My jonin jacket has the same stats. I sighed as I quickly took off my coat, vest and then armour. The ANBU squad didn't bother looking away as I stripped to my boxers.

I took out my daggers, pouches of poison, kunai and shuriken pouches and sealing materials before sealing my armour into a storage scroll. I then put on the ANBU uniform, it fitted my small frame perfectly, guess they knew I was coming.

The flak jacket was grey and extended down to my groin. Instead of half sleeve going from my wrist to my elbow, my entire arm was covered. I strapped a tanto onto my back, an unfamiliar weapon, but whatever, and put on my face mask on.

I then loaded my new uniform with all my neat little toys, not to mention the sealing cloth I had wrapped around my arms and legs. When I was done I turned to Eagle, "do I have to carry the damn blade? It's not my style. I haven't even trained with one before."

"You haven't ever trained with a tanto before?" a Puma mask wearing ANBU scoffed, "how did you ever manage to become a Tokubetsu jonin?"

I looked up at her name;

Garumo Holo, ANBU

Lv- 73

REP- 32

"That's simple Ms. Holo, by being clever," I smiled as I saw her twitch.

"H-how did you know my name?!" she cried out.

I shrugged, "I'm special. Next time read the damn mission briefing you moron. I'm guessing you got one about me yes? And what I can do?"

"We were told you were a chakra sensor," Eagle stepped in, "not that you knew the identities of ANBU agents."

I shrugged, "a chakra signature is like a face, you don't forget it if you met them before," I turned to Puma, "and I don't forget."

"Hehe, got you there Puma," Spider snorted.

"Shut up!" Puma cried out.

"You don't have to wear the tanto, you may use any tools you are comfortable with," Eagle supplied, "come, it's time for your mask."

He guided me to a framed wall of red velvet that had white ANBU mask hanging off hooks. There were so many hanging off the hooks, Eagle grabbed one with the features of a panda and tossed it to me.

I looked at the mask, it looked old and worn out, "really? A panda?"

"It's tradition," Eagle shrugged.

"Does that mean I'm ANBU now?" I asked as I put the mask on.

"Yes, for this mission alone," Eagle nodded as we all moved back into the vents and out too the roof.

Eagle then began to use his hands to communicate, 'can you understand me?'

'Yes. Please continue.'

Eagle nodded, 'Objective: Reach Hono within the day and enter Daimyo's court. We will then escort them into the agreed upon location where the Hokage will be waiting.'

'What's the location?' I asked.

'Red Moon castle,' Spider replied.

'Right, move,' Eagle nodded as we all took off.

We didn't even have to stop by the gate to log out, we just left, rushing out of the gates at full speed. Well, full speed for them, a walk in the park for me. Ever since I put VIT into 100 I found myself faster than anyone else in the village. And if this squad is supposed to be known for their speed and I'm still kicking their ass, well then that's saying something.

Around noon time Eagle called for a break. Which confused me, 'I thought Hokage said no breaks?'

'Giving you time to catch your breath,' Eagle replied.

'I'm fine, let's continue,' I insisted.

'Don't be cocky kid,' Puma snorted, 'we don't want you half dead by the time we reach Hono.'

I snorted, 'I could have been in Hono right now if I wanted too. Believe me, I'm not considered the second Flash of Konoha for nothing. Let's continue.'

Monkey, the fourth member of our group, shrugged, 'he says he's fine, let's continue.'

'Agreed,' said Snake, the last member of the group.

'Fine,' Eagle nodded and with that we were off.

By seven that day Hoho was in our sights, and Puma was exhausted, I could tell. But her pride refused to let her stop. So we managed to reach the city and began the long climb up it's sloppy roads, to the very top where the Daimyo's castle rested.

We actually passed by Socio's castle, I could see the familiar gaurd movements on the compound walls. I actually stopped for a moment to try and look inside to see Moe, but Eagle urged me on, so I tore myself away and moved on.

We soon approached the castle and it's giant compound walls. The castle itself was huge, at least a hundred feet tall with a giant stone compound wall. The walls were red with red and gold lanterns covering the castle walls.

We were a block away when another squad of ANBU appeared before us. These guys wore red and gold instead of black and grey. They looked like an elite gaurd, even their masks were different. Bright red with numbers instead of animals to differentiate them.

"Are you S squad?" Number 1 asked;

Ro, Leader of the Daimyo protection detail

Lv- 71

REP- 50

"Yes," Eagle stepped forward and presented a scroll to the man.

One took it and looked it over, he then looked over at me, "you brought a Panda on this mission? Are you joking?"

"The Hokage himself assigned him to this squad, I assure you, this is no joke," Eagle replied.

"Fine," One tossed the scroll back, "follow us. Keep up, Panda."

"Right," I decided to show off a little, using my max speed to leap forward and out run the entire protection detail, reach the compound walls in a burst of speed before they even got off the roof. I looked behind me at the shocked royal guards, "coming or what?"

They ignored my bait as we all went into the castle. We followed One's lead, as instead of crawling in the darkness and ceiling, we walked on the ground like normal civilians, which confused me, but I'm guessing it's because they don't like to spook these nobles too badly.

We walked into the heart of the castle, One slid open the door slightly, walking into a room which was a grand hall. There were around fifty nobles, all sitting around a grand table that could seat a hundred.

And at the head was an old man in royal black clothes and the kanji for fire on his robes. On his head was a black head pieces that covered his hair and back. The man was old with beady eyes and a fan that he used to constantly hide his laughter.

One came forward and bowed before the man, "my lord."

"Oh, One, what's the matter?" the daimyo asked looking down.

"The ANBU lord Hokage sent are here," One spoke as the rest of us came inside, allowing them all to take a good look at us. Eagle and the rest bowed, going down on one knee. Obviously I followed as well.

"Oh? This is the team Hiruzen sent? How pitiful," the Daimyo scoffed, "I had at least hopped that he would send someone proper, like Kakashi Hatake or even Ko Hyuga and his team. Moe dear, what was their names again? That genin team that saved your life and captured those awful Iwa ninjas?"

My head came up as I followed the Daimyo's line of sight. I found her, Moe, she hadn't change in the short time since I saw her, still the same blue hair put up in the nobel fashion. She wore a skin white kimono with red highlights and a lot of makeup on. I almost didn't recognize her.

"Their names were Zumo Sarutobi, China something and Yami," her tone softened at my name, "quite powerful genin, but obviously not ANBU level."

"Hm, maybe, I heard that Yami boy became a jonin yes?" Daimyo hummned.

"Tokubetsu jonin lord Daimyo," Eagle spoke.

"Hmm? What was that?"

"Yami, the member of team Ko, he was promoted to a tokubetsu jonin," Eagle spoke as Puma turned to me and looked for a moment.

"Ah...is there a difference? Whatever, you ninja have your own odd rankings," the Daimyo scoffed, "anyway, since you arrived I suppose we might as well begin this awful journey. Where did Hiruzen wish to met again?"

"Red Moon castle my lord," Eagle replied.

"That's a four hour journey," the Daimyo sighed, "you know what, it's too late, we'll go tomorrow."

"B-but the Hokage expects us by tonight," Eagle stuttered.

"Hmph, how can I leave now? It's the middle of the night! You expect me and my court to travel in such conditions?!" the daimyo scoffed.

"W-we must my lord, for your safety, as well as the fact that this is meeting is meant to be of the utmost secret," Eagle said quietly.

"But-"

"Oh come now my lord," lord Socio said with a smile, "I'm sure your carriage is plenty comfortable enough. You can sleep away the journey like it was nothing!"

"But what about the courtiers?" the daimyo asked in a worried tone.

"We'll be alright my lord!" and enthusiastic man cried out, "after all you will only be taking five of us! I'm sure if they all agree it won't be a problem."

"I am willing," one nodded.

"As am I," another smiled.

"So am I," a woman dressed in a tight purple kimono replied.

"And me," Socio smiled, "as well as my daughter," Moe bowed.

"And I," a tough looking man with battle scars growled.

The daimyo sniffed, "I couldn't ask for a better court! You're all so selfless, to travel in such conditions! Truly you all deserve a round of applause!"

...was this a joke? Nope, it wasn't, they were actually clapping for themselves. Damn...so this is a nobel's court.

In an hours time they were ready to move out. A caravan of over one thousand armed soldiers escorted six carriages out of Hono. Each carriage was bigger than a poor man's house, and each lavishly decorated. The Daimyo rose in the center, surrounded by the most guards, while the other nobles rode around him, surrounded by the army.

The royal gaurd and my team however were on patrol duty, sent to the edges of the escort team to serve as a lookout. And since I was a sensor, I took the lead, making sure to clear the path for everyone behind me.

The mission, surprisingly enough, was over in a quick four hours. Nothing had gone wrong, no bandits, no rogue ninja. We arrived at the Blood Moon castle by midnight. And waiting for us already was the castle's lord and servants. And the Hokage.

"Ah! Lord Hokage! How have you been?!" the daimyo said as he fought back a yawn, sand still in his eye.

"Lord Daimyo," the Hokage bowed, "thank you for seeing me under such conditions. I understand if this was inconvenient."

"Not to fear! With a court such as mine, the Land of Fire can face any obstacles!" the man chuckled as the Hokage guided him and his courtiers inside.

I followed Eagle's team as we entered the conference room at the distance. We watched from the corners of the room as the Elders of the Konoha council, the Hokage, the Daimyo and his court all sat down in front of a large table.

"So Hiruzen, what' this about?" the daimyo said as he began to fan himself.

"This is about Kiri and the civil war currently underway there," Sarutobi replied.

The Daimyo blinked, "you wish to interfere? That isn't like you Hiruzen."

"Agreed lord Daimyo," the female elder, Utatane nodded, "I'm glad to see my old team mate finally taking some initiative."

"What convinced you to change your mind lord Hokage?" the large warrior like nobel asked.

"A particular ninja who showed me that one needs to fight if they wish to bring about any semblance of peace in this world," he smiled as his eyes came towards me for a moment before looking back at the daimyo.

"Alright...what do you need Hiruzen?" the daimyo asked.

And slowly the Hokage explained the entire issue to the lord, going slowly and explaining why it would be in Konoha's best interest to interfer. And when he was done the daimyo sighed, "this sounds like so much effort, why do we have to bother? If they want to kill themselves they should just do it, fewer enemies for us to face."

I couldn't help a growl escape my lips at the man's lack of human concern. This is the guy I'm supposed to obey?!

"That may be my lord, but you see by fighting in their war and supporting the resistance, we could help foster better relations with them, making them our allies," the Hokage explained.

"We are already allied with Suna are we not?" Socio asked.

"That may be, but relations with them have been rocky to say the least," Mitokado, the male elder of the council, replied, "if we gain another ally in Kiri it would grant our more power."

"And will serve as a warning to Suna to stay allies," Utatane nodded, "and if the resistance does end up losing, well then Konoha can serve as a haven for all the bloodline users that are persecuted."

"Giving us more clans," the purple clad lady smiled, "so either way, we win. Hm, interesting idea, I support it!"

"What about the Water Daimyo?" the Warrior nobel asked, "what's his say in all of this?"

"Nothing," the Hokage sighed, "he's putting his head down and looking away, allowing the shinobi to settle their arguments amongst themselves instead."

"Hm, would he not be displeased by our interference? Maybe we shouldn't," the coward I called my Daimyo said with a whimper.

It took an hour for Sarutobi to convince the moron to agree to Konoha's movements in Kiri. It wasn't much, just the authorisation of two genin teams, 20 chunin and ten jonin. It wasn't much, hell, it was barely a quarter of the forces we had, but the Daimyo refused to let more ninja go, especially since he now believes Suna should be watched.

And so we began the tiresome task of getting these fat asses out of the castle and back to Hono. We were ten minutes out from Hono, I was excited to finally having this lame escort mission done with, when I felt it. Two chakra signatures, both easily crossing Jonin level, maybe even...Kage level.

I created ten clones, each with 100 CP and sent them out to warn everyone. Immediately Eagle and my team were by my side, "what's wrong?" he asked.

"Two Kage level ninjas coming right for us," I informed him.

"What?! Two Kage level ninjas?! Kid are you joking?!" One scoffed.

"No," I growled, "they're around 600 feet away and closing fast."

"Shit! We need to get everyone away from here! Now!" One cried out.

"Panda," Eagle turned to me, "I grant you permission to use your daggers, can you teleport everyone to Hono?"

"Hono is around...70 Km away yes?" I calculated in my head, "yes, easly but...I don't have a marker there."

"What?! You don't?!" Eagle cried out, "how could you be so stupid?!"

I growled, "you said no markers! I….wait! I got it! Give me one second!" I closed my eyes and felt around for my markers, they were all connected to me, allowing me to discover that yes, there was one marker in Hono, it was in Moe's bedroom, the dagger I gave her, she kept it!

"Got it!" I opened my eyes, "I have a marker in lord Socio's castle! I can teleport all the nobles there!"

"Do it! Now!" Eagle cried out.

I created twenty shadow clones and sent them away to do just that, I panted, "what's the plan Eagle?"

"The plan is to get everyone out! Which we aren't doing!" One cried out, "what are you all talking about?!"

I took out a fanged dagger and showed it to him, "the Flying Thunder God jutsu, they'll all be fine, I promise."

"W-wait, then that means," One looked at me, "I see, the second Flash."

I nodded, "right. So the nobels will be fine," just then there was a flash of twenty blurs of blue lightning, "and that was just my clones transporting the nobles away."

Y/N?

"Are you serious?" Three asked.

"Yup," I nodded, "now what's the plan?"

"The plan? The plan is kid we run!" One scoffed, "if you're right there's no way we can handle two Kage level threats! We'll split up and meet up at Hono's gates, they won't dare attack us there."

"B-but what about the soldiers?" I asked, "there are still around a thousand soldiers marching behind us! We can't just leave them! The ninjas will kill them!"

"So?" the man shrugged, "they knew what they were getting into, they all will gladly die for their country."

I growled, "just because they can die doesn't mean they have too!"

"So what? You want to save them all? God kid, you do know you're a ninja right?" One laughed.

I growled, "that's not the kind of ninja I am," I stopped and turned around, "you all go ahead and run, I'll make sure everyone makes it out alright."

"Is he serious?" Seven asked as they watched me run back towards the soldiers.

"I think he is," Eagle replied.

I ignored them and moved on, creating a plan in my head before creating a clone and dispelling it, allowing every active clone to understand the plan. After the nobles and their company were taken to Hono, they would then place another marker outside the city and bring all the soldiers there, since I doubt Moe would like having her room stuffed with over a thousand men in sweaty armour.

I appeared before the covo, immediately the lieutenant at the head stopped and looked at me, "ninja! What is going on?! Where did you take the daimyo and the nobles?!"

"There are two Kage level threats approaching," I told them, "the nobles have already been extracted and kept safe."

"What?! Where are they?!" the man asked from horseback.

"Safe in Hono," I replied, just then a clone popped, it had placed a dagger at the gates of Hono, "which is exactly where I'm going to take all of you," I made the shadow clone jutsu seal.

There was a puff of smoke as suddenly 55 clones appeared besides me, each with one hundred CP, enough to make one trip before having to wait a minute and then come back.

"What?! We aren't going anywhere ninja! We are going to stand here and fight!" the man cried out, his men roaring behind him.

"You do that, you will die, needlessly," I growled, "this is a Kage level ninja! Not some army of ronin or bandits!"

"We are sworn to serve our lord's!" one cried out.

"Then do it in a battle which has meaning!" I cried, "One that matters! Don't die here needlessly when you can instead serve to protect the land from outside invaders! Live! Fight another day!"

The men looked at each other, whispering.

"We are not cowards!" the man in front cried out.

"Is it cowardness to retreat into a more optimal battlefield?" I asked.

"N-no, it is not! It's common battle tactics!"

"Then that's what you're doing! You think they'll stop if they find the Daimyo isn't here?! They'll go to Hono and attack it! A single Kage level ninja can level that entire city! If you all die here, then Hono falls! So what do you wish to do? Die here for nothing, with no one witnessing your sacrifice? If allow me to help your army to move to Hono where you can defend your lords and die a proper death! Not like a dog, but like a warrior?!"

Ping!

You have successfully convinced them!

The people began to node, repeating my words. Even the man in charge looked convinced. "Very well ninja, proceed with evacuating our army! Begin near the back! The front will be the last, will you be able to take us all away before the enemies arrive?"

I checked, they were 200 feet and approaching fast, "no, they are only two hundred feet away."

"Then while the rest fight in Hono, we will buy the city time here!" the man roared as he drew his sword.

"HONO!" the men cried out. Immediately my clones moved, grabbing two people at a time from the back and zipping away in a streak of blue lightning.

I turned around and faced the direction from which the two Kage level threats seemed to come from. The army of Hono stood ready behind me. And also, I had three surprise guests.

Eagle, Puma and Seven landed before me. Eagle looked at me, "you realise I can have you court martialed for disobedience."

"You never said I couldn't do this, you just said I should leave," I told him.

Puma scoffed, "you have balls kid."

"Thanks, if you want after this I'll show you just how big they are," I snorted.

"I have never seen a Panda behave like this," Seven replied as they stood besides me side by side. Eagle took out his tanto while Puma and Seven drew a kunai in each hand, "usually their more nervous and filled with fear."

"I'm not a panda," I chuckled, "I'm more like a..well...I don't know, I never wondered what animal I was."

"A dragon," Eagle put in, the two Kage level ninja were close, only fifty feet away, "you're as prideful and headfast as a dragon."

"Plus you're speciality is breathing fire," Puma put in, "yeah, that's right, I did read your file kid."

I smirked, "right," I saw my first wave of clones return, now taking the second wave of soldiers away. Slowly the two ninjas slowed down as they walked towards us at a leisurely pace, "they're here."

And out of the trees walked two figures in black cloaks with red clouds on them. One was around eight feet tall with blue skin, sharp teeth in a grin with gills on his neck. On his back was a great sword which was wrapped up in bandages and a yellow metal handle. He wore a Kiri headband on his forehead which had been crossed out;

Kisame Hoshigaki, Tailless tailed beast

Lv- 94

REP- -40

The other man was shorter, he wore a straw hat that covered his eyes and nose. He had one hang hanging out limpy from behind his cloak and the neck line covering his mouth;

Itachi Uchiha, Inheritor of the Will of Fire

Lv- 98

REP- 70

I felt fear dig in before Gamer's mind removed it. Kisame, monster in human form, enough chakra to make Naruto's own normal reserves seem tiny in comparison. He hated my guts. And then Itachi Uchiha, the man who 'betrayed' the Leaf, the true hero that everyone looked over.

"Oh, what's this? You were expecting us? Hm, I did find it odd that we didn't find an advanced gaurd, did you manage to sense us out?" Kisame asked with a shark like grin.

"They probably sensed your massive reserves Kisame," Itachi said in a bored voice, "hm, don't see anyone else here except the army...tell me, where are the nobels?"

"We'll never tell you you traitor!" Puma growled.

"Is that so?" Itachi lifted his hat, showing his red eyes.

"Ack!" Puma stiffened before falling to the ground.

"Shit!" I cried out as I felt his chakra enter her body, "genjutsu! Don't look at his eyes! Don't even look at his fingers! He can use that as a focus as well!"

"Right!" Eagle and Seven lowered their heads, looking away from the Uchina. There was another wave of Blue Lightning, my clones returned for the third wave of soldiers. One looked over and noticed Puma down, he came over and flash her away, I sighed, at least now she would be safe.

"Hm, I see, clever boy," Itachi removed his hat and threw it aside, "you figured out my trick. And that blue lightning, you must be Yami, the second Flash of Konoha."

"Yup! I'm also friend with your little brother! You know he misses you so much?! He keeps going on and on about how much he just wants to pummel his hands into your chest and rip your hearts out."

I smiled at my talkative side coming out, wishing to get more time. I moved one hand behind me and motioned to the men behind me to get ready, they could attack at any moment.

"Sasuke was a dreamer," Itachi nodded, "I'm glad to see that hasn't changed."

"Hey Itachi, what do we do?" Kisame asked, "if this kid is the Flash he probably has all the Nobles tucked away safely. Our mission was a failure."

"Sadly, that seems so Kisame," Itachi sighed.

"Hey, how about if I have a little fun then heh? The kid might grow up to be someone some day, if we kill him now it'll save us a lot of trouble!"

"Hm….why not, go ahead," Itachi turned around and walked away, "make sure you kill them all, I don't want any survivors."

"Fuck!" Eagle growled as the fourth wave of soldiers left, he turned to me, "how many more?!"

"Only 200 have made it so far," I grumbled, "maybe another ten minutes?"

Kisame laughed, "isn't this a treat? You all are staying here to save these soldiers?! You tree huggers really are soft!" He removed his great sword with one hand and slammed it into the ground, "besides, you won't last ten minutes, you won't even last five."

"Permission to go full force sir?" I asked Eagle.

"Granted, show him hell," Eagle nodded.

"Right! Swift Release: Speed up times 10!" I vanished into a blur of white and grey. I activated my chakra enhanced fists and approached Kisame at full speed.

I grew my fist back ready to break his face, when suddenly he moved, blocking my punch with his sword, "is that the fastest you can go?" he asked.

My eyes widened, I felt my chakra being drained away by the sword. I cursed and immediately moved back. I needed to go faster, "Swift Release: Speed up times 100!" And this time, time began to slow down so much, even sounds began to slur together.

"Woah," Kisame's eyes slowly widened as I came at him again. This time I went around, charging my fists and colliding them into his back, several at his neck, back of his head, spine and a kick right between the legs, twice.

Ping!
