Chereads / The Shopkeeper of Konoha / Chapter 251 - Too many guests

Chapter 251 - Too many guests

"They deserve to live. It was just a job for them. And from the looks of it both of them had a tough life." Yoruichi said. 

"But they are the enemies of the village too." Sasuke chimed in this time. He wasn't ready to just leave them like that. They almost died. 

"And thus they will be in prison after they are healed." Yoruichi said, while looking at Kakashi. He seemed like he wanted to say something but once Yoruichi spoke about imprisonment, he didn't say a word more. 

Capturing one of the 7 swordsmen of the mist would be a treasure trove of information for Konoha. Sasuke didn't have an argument against it and though he wanted a revenge, he didn't speak more, Naruto put on his sling ring and sent the two directly to the shop. His brother would know what to do, while they would stay here by making sure that the bridge was built. 

They would also help in making the bridge. Sasuke and Sakura were still not over the fact that Naruto could teleport such long distances with just a small gesture and they also wanted to learn this "ninjutsu" but it was a family secret so they wouldn't know. 

"You guys should carry on." Yoruichi said and walked away as she looked bored and wanted to explore around a bit. Thus Tazuna started working again.

"You can come out," Yoruichi said as she ventured deep into the forest and spoke loudly.

"My... My... Konoha has been holding quite a few of their trump cards," a hoarse voice came from one side of the forest. Emerging from the thick bushes and trees was a man who was pale blue in color, with eyes unlike any human she had seen before, carrying a huge and broad sword on his back, the sword wrapped in bandages. Yoruichi turned around and looked at the man who had appeared. She had seen many kinds of humans coming and going out of Konoha. She had even seen the Tsuchikage.

But never a man like him. He looked like a tank, and just from the feeling this person gave her, this man was definitely a tanky beast. The aura this person was emanating was quite wild. But all of this didn't faze her at all.

"Who do we have here? You are quite the beast from what I can feel," Yoruichi replied.

"Hahahah... I have been called that quite a bit of times," the man replied. He wanted to talk more, but instead, he saw Yoruichi taking out some portraits from her back. And after turning the portraits, she started to compare them to the man in front.

It was a quite funny scene as she kept the different portraits made on paper parallel to each other and started mumbling.

"Not this... Not this... Definitely not this, the eyes are very different... Ah yes... This is the one... Let me see... Hmm... Hoshigaki Kisame... Belonged to the Cypher division of Kirigakure... Then betrayed and killed his mentor to get the sword Samehada, thus becoming one of the 7 swordsmen of the mist. Later joins Akatsuki since he is quite disillusioned about the ninja world and thinks he can change the world... Strength - huge amount of chakra, giving him the title 'tailless beast' and can use the sword to suck the chakra of others and grow. Samehada is said to be chakra hungry as it is a live sword, but isn't very loyal. Cons - slow on land and vulnerable to lightning attacks. Yeah, that is all I have," Yoruichi replied as she read the things while putting on spectacles as she read that.

Yes, the man who appeared was Kisame, and at the moment, he was shaking. He had never seen someone unveil all his secrets like this. Even Madara, who had recruited him, didn't have that kind of information like this woman who had appeared out of nowhere spoke out loud.

"I will take that as a yes. Since you belong to the Akatsuki, I will advise you to fuck off. Especially to someone who is slow on land and is vulnerable to lightning, because those are my strongest points. I am not trying to con you but warn you," Yoruichi said as her whole body suddenly came into life.

Static electricity could be seen coming out in sparks around. Though she might not look as menacing as the Raikage, she definitely had her strengths that made Kisame very uncomfortable.

"Woman... Who the fuck are you?"

"Hahaha... Since I am in a good mood, I will reply. Yoruichi Shihōin, 22nd head of Shihōin clan, ex-Captain of the 2nd Division and a helper to Kisuke Urahara," Yoruichi said.

"Shihōin clan? What clan is that?" Kisame mumbled as he had never heard of such a clan and from the battle he just witnessed, the clan shouldn't be a nameless one. The yellow lightning was not normal as that color hadn't been seen as it was mostly white or blue. He wanted to engage against her, but his instinct was telling him not to.

Kakashi was someone he had been warned against before, and though they had the job of capturing a jinchūriki, the situation right now wasn't idle. He was actually here to see if he could recruit Zabuza as Pain had asked him to invite the other swordsman.

Sadly, he was out of commission forever, and he wouldn't be of any help.

"I think I might have overstepped my boundaries. I will take my leave," Kisame said. Yoruichi just looked at him with dead eyes as if she didn't care if he left or not and would lash out at any moment.

He knew that he should leave, so he didn't waste any moment to just jump on the nearby tree and vanish into the thick forest. After he left, Yoruichi was again silent for a moment.

"You guys need to work on your stealth. It's getting boring now," Yoruichi spoke out loud, and after a few moments, another person came out of the shadows.

Hatake Kakashi.
