Chapter 59: Yuki
"Why the hell are we all gathered here?" Sakura questioned loudly as she saw the massive group of Genin, and a handful of Chunin.
There were only 2 Chunin in this entire squad of Ninja, being Neji and myself.
Right now, on top of the Konoha 12, there were also what I believed were the 4 best players in the entire Leaf right now, not including Yuki of course.
All Jonin sensei were also gathered here, each mostly doing their own thing.
"It is probably for some major mission." Ino stated right beside her as they walked together.
Wait…didn't they have a massive rivalry with Sasuke at this time?
Since when were they on talking terms.
"Shikomu Nara." A deep voice called out to me, and I turned to my right to see Sasuke walking towards me.
I didn't really reply as he came closer to me, and basically everyone turned towards us.
I hadn't really met Sasuke for the past 4 months, so I couldn't really tell how much stronger he had gotten, but I guess I will see soon.
From what I have gathered, Orochimaru probably didn't have his sights set solely on Sasuke, since so many new Uchiha had been released into the world.
Pedomaru was probbally looking for vessels he could get more easily than Sasuke.
And due to that, Sasuke wouldn't be able to get his Cursed Mark, which meant he didn't have Sage Chakra yet.
In the anime, he should be way stronger than he is right now.
Well, that was unless he went for a completely different path of development.
"This time, I will not lose to you."
I was currently the tallest among all the younger generation, and with us face to face, to me it seemed comical that he was calling me out.
But I didn't laugh, or at least I tried not to.
"Sure buddy."
My response didn't warrant a reaction from Sasuke as he walked towards Kakashi.
Maybe because he didn't want to be let up, Naruto also began to cause a fuss.
"SHIKOMU, you better not lose to Sasuke! I will defeat you first, believe it!"
The entire group of Genin chuckled, and as I looked around, I could also see some people looking at me with competitive eyes.
Neji and Lee definitely seemed like they wanted to have a fight against me.
And among the players, it was Ryuko only.
Yuki seemed to have gotten it into his head that he would not be able to beat me, no matter what he would try to do, so even if he was here he wouldn't think about challenging me.
"If you guys are done with your Children's Squabble, it is time for us to move." Naido sensei called out to us, as the entire group of Shinobi turned towards him.
In my opinion, unless we were going to wage war on an entire Village, this fire power was completely unnecessary.
Let alone the fact that Kakashi, Sora and Naido sensei could each be considered Kage Level shinobi, there is still Asuma and Kurenai.
Then there is me, and with all of my various methods, fighting an Elite-Jonin didn't seem so hard for me.
Sakura then raised her hand, patiently waiting to be called upon.
"What is it, Sakura?" Kakashi sensei asked her with a sigh, as he had his hands in his pockets while walking closer to Naido Sensei.
"What is the mission, Kakashi sensei?"
This got the attention of all of the youngest generation, since all of us were kept in the dark.
"Well, we are going to invade the Hidden Mist."
Of course we were.
…
(At the other side of the village)
"Follow us." The 3rd Hokage said to Yuki.
The young man nodded with slight nervousness and followed the Hokage.
Around him were at least 10 Anbu members, but that wasn't even the biggest point.
2 of the 3 Legendary Sanin, Lord Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade were right beside the Hokage as well.
Even the village elders were also following him.
"Clam down, Grand-Student." Jiraiya said to the nervous Chunin.
"Grand-Student?"
"Seriously, he didn't tell anyone? What the hell, is he embarrassed by me or something?" The Toad Sage murmured.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he was, you are an idiot." Tsunade chimed in.
"OI, TSUNADE!"
"You two, this is a serious occasion." The Hokage chimed in.
"Tch."
Jiraiya then looked towards Yuki, and then decided to walk beside him.
"I used to teach your sensei."
"I see."
"..."
"HAHAHAHAHA, I told you Jiraiya, no one cares about you!" Tsunade laughed happily at Yuki's reaction.
Eventually the entire group reached a room which was filled with thousands of inscribed seals.
The room was barely lit with any light whatsoever, and in the center of the room, all the seals formed a circle.
In the center of the circle, was the battered body of a woman.
The woman was someone Yuki recognised….or he believed was the body of the 2 tails Jinchuriki.
However, it wasn't easy at all to be able to tell who this woman was.
All her limbs seemed limp, and she wasn't even able to move whatsoever.
Her skin clinging onto her body from clear malnutrition, and her lips broke from how dry they were.
However, that wasn't even the worst part.
Dried blood was at every corner of her body, and most of her wounds didn't seem to have healed properly, if they had healed at all.
Her head had patches of missing hair, while her skull also had missing skin.
It was clear that some strong force had pulled off the hair of this woman.
Her eyeballs were also gouged out, whole her ears seemed to be pulled off.
She would have pleaded to be killed, if not for the fact that her vocal cords were also ripped off.
She was basically a walking corpse.
Yuki instantly felt the urge to vomit, and vomit he did.
Most people inside of the room had a solemn atmosphere as they stared at the body of the 2 tails Jinchuriki, who was only alive due to the tailed beast inside of her.
"What the hell is this…" Tsunade murmured, and her eyes seemed to flash in understanding.
She turned towards Jiraiya, who had a massive frown on his face and walked up towards him before she grabbed his shirt.
"You said he got his temper under control!"
"He has." Jiraiya replied in a calm tone.
"Does this look controlled to you?!"
"It does." Sarutobi Hiruzn replied.
"We should be happy he left her alive after what she did."
"Death would have been better for her. How the hell will she even survive this procedure? We need to be able to extract the 2 tails before she dies."
"That is why you are here, are you not?" Danzo questioned as he walked out from the shadows.
"Now, Yuki. Sit right beside the woman there. Let us start."

Authors note:
Unfortunately this isn't a continuation of the fanfic. I simply had a couple of spare chapters I wanted to upload.
I am currently trying a new project, which is basically my own novel but I will be uploading it as a fanfic since honestly I write mainly for interaction with people.
I write to share ideas and run through scenarios with people, so I hope you will try my new project out.
It is called "Eternal Heir."
Do not subscribe to patreon for this fanfic anymore thanks.
