Being a pirate is alright to be
Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free
You are a pirate!
Karin estimated a week at most for the whole bounty hunter business, leaving me and Juugo behind who unlike those two was a pleasant company. Not because he was funny or friendly, he rarely spoke to me unless he needed permission for something, he was a very calm and peaceful person. Perhaps I missed the silence, besides his activities were entertaining to watch.
I could compare him to a monk living a connected life with nature, every day he spent tending the plants of our room and was even permitted to tend the inn's garden after the owner saw how good he was at it. And he too tended his little friends who came to drop a visit, thankfully they didn't do their necessities inside or I would have been mad.
How could such a bloodthirsty beast be the equivalent of a Disney Princess?
And much to my delight, he didn't suffer any outburst of rage.
So I didn't have to act as his cage, not even once he lost control, he maintained his civilized personality making me wonder about his condition. Perhaps it was all in his head, he only needed a reassurance that the beast's new cage won't be broken.
What an interesting fellow.
As for me, I used my time for deep sessions of meditation to properly organize myself and analyze in much better details the events that didn't match my memories as well as discovering more incongruencies.
Especially why Tsunade hated Kabuto so much, he didn't cripple or killed Shizune but with his chakra scalpels at the battle of the three sannins, he killed the pet pig Ton Ton who blocked his direct attack. Shizune fell into depression after that battle and Tsunade changed roles with her now being the one who helped Shizune to recover. Kabuto was annoyed that he couldn't kill her thanks to the pig, that was his only complaint.
But aside from memories I was more focused on understanding my Sharingan, I couldn't tell how much time I spent in front of a mirror trying to activate my new eyes and Sasuke understanding was very vague much to my dismay, it was seriously just channeling chakra to the eyes and they supposedly activate but when I tried many times nothing happened.
I would have been worried that somehow I lost the ability if it wasn't for that time when I used them to intimidate Suigetsu.
It took me days to understand how strong were the ties of my emotions with my Sharingan, Sasuke's memories and pain were worthless but my own worked.
Remembering the moment of my dog death, the dread and void I felt on my chest when I saw it breath one last time and when I placed my ear on its chest hoping to hear a heart in vain created a knot on my throat but when I saw my reflection two red eyes with three tomoes were looking right back at me along with long trails of my tears, after that I didn't try to do anything for the rest of the day.
The following days I tried with anger, getting the same positive results with the unexpected addition that my vision went red. Literally speaking, as if I was wearing red sunglasses.
But when I tried with happiness it didn't work no matter how much I tried, happiness didn't trigger my Sharingan.
No wonder the Uchihas were filled with dangerous family murderers psychopaths, the high influx of negative emotion could easily overwhelm a person's sanity.
And Sasuke being the sensible edgy emo he was, the Sharingan could be used at his whim and Itachi living in constant dread and depression gave him the ability to command his eyes to his whims as well.
I wanted to keep trying with other specific emotions besides the principal three but without realizing a week had already passed, and I knew it by the most unorthodox way imaginable.
Suigetsu came inside after kicking the door open with his boastful laughter throwing a small business suitcase towards the table and crashing on his bed with his laughter going strong.
Moments later Karin passed through the entrance with her head hanging low while covering herself with a mantle, her new appearance reminded me of those extreme type of burqas. I genuinely wanted to laugh like Suigetsu but I knew that Karin wouldn't be like that for no apparent reason, however, the moment I approached she lunged at me and squeezed me in a tight hug. With a lot of effort, I was able to push her away and removed her cover, only to find a face as red as a tomato on the verge of tears.
I had her sit down and relax for a while before she was in better condition to finally explain everything that happened in the last week to be in that state.
And when she started I felt my stomach drop.
"You gotta be kidding me."
"It is not my fault! How could I've expected a mutt would dare to violate me?!" She cried out.
To sum it up Karin panicked and revealed our intimate moment because a dog has not been trained to be respectful of strangers.
"Now everyone in the village knows thanks to you." I felt my cheeks heating up, even if there was nobody except that idiot to laugh I was still feeling incredibly embarrassed for that secret to be out in the light.
And Suigetsu laughter didn't make it any better.
"Is not my fault!" She yelled back on the verge of tears.
According to her after leaving the Hokage office they had really bad luck to encounter Team 8 which Kiba's dog caught the scent and was sniffing around and went directly to her...between her legs without any regards for her privacy and told Kiba who immediately alerted everybody which resulted in both of them getting surrounded.
Forcing them to return to the Hokage office since Karin knew that they wouldn't be able to escape by force.
The new Team 7 arrived and they got overwhelmed with questions after questions since they couldn't be forcefully interrogated, after all, weren't enemies shinobis or missing nins. And under the pressure, Karin could only give a poor improvised answer, which ended up being with us having a one night stand at a bar after meeting again at a small town and Suigetsu disobeyed my order and added to the story how drunk she got and looked so pathetic that even me, Sasuke Uchiha, took pity on her.
No wonder she was so red in embarrassment, I would be like that as well if roles were reversed, I wouldn't have any face to look anybody to the eye.
I looked at Suigetsu who took a seat in front of us with his signature grin.
"What happened then." I asked.
His grin only widened. "The pinkette started to bawl her eyes out and your blonde friend, Naruto I think, was shocked to say at least I mean he was like very pushy and bothersome asking about you and when redhead confessed the color of his face drained almost instantly becoming like the pale guy. Is he gay or something?" He snickered.
I resisted the urge to facepalm, Sakura reaction was expected but Naruto? Why should he be surprised or that affected? I shudder at the thought that he is playing for the other team, having girls pursuing me could be barely tolerable but dudes as well?
The information did increase the weight on my shoulders so much that I had to sit down and ponder for a while.
At the end of the day, Karin wasn't at fault, at least not entirely since it was me who accepted her...forward advances if I rejected her then Akamaru wouldn't have noticed the scent and just annoy her as any untrained dog would do.
Actions have consequences, the only thing that could make things even worse is that Karin got…it was for the best to not tempt the universe or it might be tempted to fuck me even harder than it had already done.
"At least you got the bounty, that's what all matters to me." I said while rubbing my temples, I was considering to go to a massage parlor to relieve some stress if more issues piled up on me and my group would, without a doubt, create more situations to increase that stress.
Karin only looked at me apologetic fidgeting with her crimson hair. "Well not exactly."
"Oh for fuck sakes!" I slammed my fist on the table, I had to be grateful that somehow it didn't break.
"Yeah, your old team demanded that half the bounty went directly to you since you technically did most of the job so they will put in a bank account and the old hag accepted their demands so it isn't exactly a loss." Suigetsu explained to her.
I didn't even meet any of them and they are starting to piss me off, were they supposed to be that bothersome?
Obviously, those two did had genuinely good intentions but I couldn't same the same for Tsunade and Kakashi especially when Suigetsu mentioned the bank account, banks keep records of every transaction no matter how big or small it was.
I looked Suigetsu to the eye. "The moment I retire money from there they will know where I'm and where I might go even if I use proxies, don't be stupid." There were no questions that they would immediately report my transactions back to her and with so many brilliant minds by her side they could easily predict my next move.
I sound like a fugitive...I'm a fugitive but at least not officially since my name hasn't been written in the Bingo books in the missing-nin category.
"Thankfully five million is more than enough for our current objective." I said trying to ease the tension and present the positive side of things because I was right, I was mostly mad that I had been shortened and they stole from me.
"So what's next?" Juugo finally spoke.
I sighed, we can only proceed with the plan."We will buy one of the many informants inside the town."
Karin immediately brought up the suitcase and presented it to me but the moment my eyes landed on it I had a strong gut feeling.
"Wait…"
I snatched the suitcase from her hands and threw all the thick bundles of money to the floor ignoring all the protests from my team and search every corner and centimeter of the suitcase.
Until my eyes found a small glyph right under the handle.
My eyes widened at the realization, I didn't know what that glyph meant but I had a growing feeling of its purpose because of how possible it was."We need to leave, now."
"What? Why?" She protested.
"This was made to track the owners." I shortly answered.
"Oh….oh shit."
"So they might be on their way, should we fight them?" Suigetsu frowned, he too realized his carelessness.
I turned to Juugo. "Any information?."
He leaned closer to the bird on his hands and the little bird went to his ear to chirp.
Juugo shook his head to my relief. "No shinobis in the vicinity, just people entering and leaving the town as ever."
I threw the case at Karin who tried to grab it but failed, she had to pick it up from the floor.
"Get rid of the suitcase," I ordered, I needed to think for our next move because I didn't want to fight or get showered with questions so soon.
Karin grabbed the suitcase and as fast as she could try to leave the room but when she opened the door she abruptly stopped, looking ahead as if she was petrified.
"Is something wrong?" When I went to check why she stopped at the entrance I noticed another redhead who was slightly shorter than Karin standing in her way looking as surprised as Karin.
"Karin?"
"Tayuya?"
Have you ever thought that Anko looked sexy, that her clothes or better said the lack of clothes gave her a strong sex appeal?
Well, Tayuya surpassed her.
Her upper body the only cover was a black training bra along with a fishnet top which perfectly showed her slender figure and her abs. Her black sport skirt nicely hugged her hips catching the eye along with a leather belt that had a flute three scrolls tied to it. And finally, her long straight red hair gave her an exotic look, except her little hat didn't fit with her entire (lack of) attire, it looked somewhat and oddly cute but it would have been better if she didn't wear one at all.
"When I heard a red-head left the village after claiming a bounty, I needed to investigate and who could have expected that it was you….and look here, the shitty teenager finally grew up." Her attention shifted to me.
"Aren't you supposed to be dead or something?" I was confused, as far as my memories went, she was part of the team that went to deliver Sasuke to Orochimaru and she was supposed to fight Shikamaru and then Temari who would end up bringing down a forest on her yet she was standing right at the door.
She scoffed as she crossed her arms. "Dead? Hey, shitstain. I might have been part of the Orochimaru elite team but I'm not by any means an idiot."
"Yeah, you are only a foul-mouthed bitch." Suigetsu comment didn't go unnoticed by her.
She turned with a malicious smile as she looked at our Sharkboy. "And even the cumbucket is here as well."
"Good to see you again, fucking whore." He replied.
Tayuya pushed Karin aside and stomped her way to be face to face with Suigetsu who maintained his shit-eating grin while he looked down on her. "You have no idea how much I regret not taking a piss on your container when I had the chance."
"I would have loved to see you try." He taunted forcing me to interfere or they might have started a fight.
I grabbed his collar and pulled him away from her becoming the only one facing her, and she was to my surprise she was short compared to my height.
"How did you survive?" I asked she wasn't supposed to be alive, to begin with, it was out of necessity to know how she managed to escape or better said, how she became a Konoha shinobi if bracelet with Konoha symbol was any indication.
"I simply changed teams after boner guy left." She shrugged. "He was the only one who kept me from leaving so with him gone I surrendered, went to jail for a couple of months, got interrogated and finally joined as a tokebetsu jounin under the direct command of the perverted bastard of Jiraiya."
Her answer only created more questions.
"Why are you here?" I asked as my hand carefully and slowly grabbed the hilt of my katana, my eyes never leaving her in case she tried to pull a fast one on me.
She smugly smirked as her attention shifted to our redhead."I only wanted to check if the girl was Karin and well as you can see, she is indeed Karin."
She rested both hands on her waist as she let out a long whistle."So, Karin, I heard that you banged the Uchiha."
I unsheathe my katana and swung only to stop right on her neck touching her skin, there was no time for stupid games."Tell me your real intentions, now."
I allowed my anger to leak, and my vision turned red.
"Aren't you such a quick shot?" She tried to provoke but I only shifted the position of the sharpness of my katana and carefully did a cut on her jaw.
Her eyes widened at the realization that there was no joke, I could see her forehead sweating cold before looking at me a couple of seconds and sighing in defeat, her chakra was calm as a pond.
"Fine, Jiraiya sent me to investigate the lucky bounty hunters and if they had any connection to you. So I kind of need to report that indeed they have a connection since you are pretty much a team as far as I can guess." Tayuya told us without any issues even with my Sharingan I couldn't detect any lies coming from her or maybe I didn't know all the specific details and shifts to detect lies.
"And let me guess, Team 7 will rush to chase me." I removed the sharpness of my katana from her neck and returned it to its sheath, for the moment it wasn't necessary.
She rubbed her neck as she checked the small cut for blood."Well about that, Shithead will rush to meet you as soon as possible while the rest would try to catch up."
Naruto would do that, without an ounce of doubt.
"Can you just tell them that you didn't see me?" I hopelessly asked.
"Can you suck a dick?" She quickly answered with an impossible but provoking question making me frown in annoyance. "I kind of like my new life at Konoha so I won't fuck it up."
I don't know what drove me but I already had Tayuya collar in my hands, pulling her closer as my Sharingan raged for more violence, even if she tried to maintain her strong facade her eyes frantically looking her surroundings betrayed her.
I didn't want more trouble, I would do whatever necessary to achieve that state.
But a hand grabbed mine catching my attention, turning to the owner I saw Karin's concern and dilemma. "Please don't kill her."
"Karin?" Her plead was a surprise to me.
"I know she is a bitch…"
"That I am." Tayuya interrupted to confirm her words, only earning a hard glare from Karin's part.
She turned to me. "But...but she is my only friend."
I closed my eyes and let out a long tired sigh, I acted according to my emotions and the more I think harming Tayuya wouldn't have helped me at all, it would only have created more trouble for me in the long run.
I turned to Tayuya without my Sharingan activated.
"At least tell them that I will return to the village but I must do a couple of things first." I released her collar giving her her space to accommodate and try to fix the damage to her clothes, to my surprise her fishnet top didn't rip or snapped, perhaps it was made with a resilient material.
"That's all?" She looked at me with confusion plastered all over her face.
"Yes."
The confusion that soon turned in disinterest as she shrugged, "Sure, I doubt it will stop them from coming but sure, I can pass on your message."
"Good, now get the fuck out." I pointed at the exit and waited.
She didn't say anything more and turned around and left not before she spits at Suigetsu's direction whose smile twisted into a grin baring his sharp teeth ready to use them.
Without seconds thoughts I kicked her ass forcefully sending her outside of our room before I shut the door on her, I didn't want a fight over petty reasons.
Especially not in my room.
"Are you really going to return?" Karin asked me.
Whenever the idea is brought up I cannot stop thinking about an ideal fantasy but at the same time, memories of what lurks in shadows break the fantasy, directly threatening me. Threats I cannot face unless I evolve my Sharingan to the next level but the question remains.
How?
I sighed. "If I finish everything in my list then perhaps I might consider it but for now we need to leave."
"I don't know if that is possible." A voice behind us tauntingly declared.
"Great…we had been fooled." It took me seconds to realize that Tayuya was only there to buy time, there was no other explanation of why she talked so much and why she so easily revealed her mission to us.
I turned to see our uninvited guest, but it only confirmed my fears when I saw the long spiky white hair.
"I must admit your idea was good but as the great spymaster of Konoha, it was quite easy to figure it out your involvement."
I narrow my eyes."Jiraiya."
"The Gallant Jiraiya in the flesh." He stroked one of his infamous poses.
No sooner after he finished his dramatic introduction his figure disappeared from my sight before suddenly appeared right in front of me as he rammed his hand on my stomach with so much strength I felt my internal organs move from its respective places, I was sent crashing against the wall of my room, breaking it in the process.
"Sasuke-kun!" I heard Karin scream my name but my head was ringing and disoriented by the impact, I couldn't properly focus.
Thankfully Juugo gave me a hand and allowed me to use his body to support mine, Suigetsu took the initiative to place himself between Jiraiya and myself with his weapon ready while Karin already had her arm right in front of my mouth.
Without thinking it twice I bit, feeling much better by the second and the pain dissipating as if I was never injured in the first place while my head recovered allowing me to focus again.
"And that's for stabbing Naruto with a Chidori."
He declared as he cracked his knuckles.
"But there is more to come."
Shit.
AN: If you are wondering, yes my dog away last year she accompanied me for 14 years of my life, at least I'm glad she passed away next to my mother and not alone, and you know something? I somehow knew when she was going to die, I was at the computer working but suddenly my whole body felt wrong and my neck was cold, my heart ached a little and I simply couldn't keep working. I left and went back towards my dog and I saw her breathing heavily, I lifted hug her and placed next to my mother who was trying to relax and left towards my bed watching the roof. Half an hour later my mother cries out that she died so I checked and indeed I didn't hear her heartbeat but only horrible silence I heard. I didn't cry but it was almost impossible for me to utter a word, I mean I knew it was going to happen but damn when it happens you really don't know what to do or how to react and my words failed me when I tried to speak with the vet asking for a crematorium, I had to grab a bottle of wine and chug it down to properly speak so now I can understand, at least, a little those people who drink to forget or to ease their pain, because it fucking works.
Now we have three dogs who give a lot of life to the house, dunno it was like destiny that a carbon copy of my dog appeared in our life, it was a stray rescued in a dog shelter. The second was because she was accustomed to living and play with other dogs so we bought her a little sister; not so little anymore easily is double the size lol, and the last sister is the daughter of my aunt old dog, surprisingly even with 10 years he was able to have puppies, I don't know but he also doesn't have much time left but at least he had puppies who are exactly like him so his legacy will forever be with us, well impossible to forget any of them since they are fucking demons just like the father used to be.
The cycle of life is both beautiful and horrible.
PD: Tayuya outfit is from The sealed Kunai by Kenichi. It is simply a really good outfit perfectly fit for her.
Rant start, I needed to get this off my chest as well. Don't read if you don't want to ruin the mood.
You have no idea how fed up I'm getting with people constantly pointing out the obvious. MY grammar is bad? I FUCKING KNOW SO STOP PESTERING ME! I had been dealing with it like what? 5 or 6 years? I dare you to read a WATTPAD Naruto fanfic then and tell me THAT isn't a grammar nightmare.
I'm very welcoming to criticism and if you see grammatical mistakes good! AT LEAST FUCKING TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG IF YOU ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN!
In the years I've been writing people who actually pointed and even corrected my grammatical mistakes were like 2 or 3 in TOTAL.
You do not help me at all if you only point the obvious, you only frustrate me because I CANNOT SEE WHAT YOU CAN SEE!
If you haven't noticed I'm a fucking Latino from South America living in my beautiful birth city, I learned my English from other Latinos English teachers, certified by the way, and my school had us learning from TWO kinds of English for 11 years, American along with British and I grew up hearing Canadian English. so what some of you don't consider theoretically correct it is correct for the other side. Example? Vacations/Holidays, color/colour. But well I cannot deny that most of the readers are from America.
So I use a program that helps me a LOT with many grammatical errors, each chapter always has around 200, but even then is not enough.
To sum up, If you are going to point my grammar at least, PLEASE, tell me exactly what is wrong and I will happily fix it as soon as I can if not then I will have to recur what I swore never to do, delete comments, even if they really but are rude I never deleted them. Just like authors delete those 'First' comments I will give the same treatment to unhelpful complaints of my grammar because I'm THAT fed up.
Rant over.
