Kaito and Daichi were sitting in front of the barbecue restaurant where the little black one had previously attempted to steal. Both were eating wild boar meat, but the most astonishing thing was the pile of bones next to them, while the owner was smiling cheerfully as he grilled more meat.
The little black one was also savoring a piece of meat. Kaito didn't exactly understand why he was eating so much, as the feline was already on his third piece of meat and didn't seem to want to stop, perhaps it was because of the chakra in his body that made him have to eat more to generate more energy.
At that moment, Kaito felt a slight shiver down his back, but it quickly passed, though it was enough to make him completely alert. He looked around for a while and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Daichi found it strange but ignored it and continued to eat his meat calmly without worrying about anything, while the little black one did the same.
"What a strange feeling that was, I hope nothing serious happens," Kaito sighed as he returned to eating his meat again.
...
In the Hokage's office.
"Finally, Danzo is moving. I won't let him affect the Leaf Village anymore. His false pretense of protecting the village won't convince me anymore," Hiruzen said, smoking his pipe as he dismissed an ANBU ninja.
Hiruzen had just found out from one of his agents that Danzo had sent one of his Root agents to inform Orochimaru about Kaito's departure, but he had expected that.
"I'll have to ask Jiraiya to intervene," Hiruzen sighed. He had already received a message about their whereabouts, and Naruto had managed to convince Tsunade to return to the village.
Cough! Cough! Cough...
A heavy cough overtook him, causing him to put his hand over his mouth, but a red and purple liquid appeared on his hand after the coughing fit.
"Damn poison is causing a lot of damage," after the coughing fit subsided, Hiruzen stood up as if nothing had happened and immediately began writing some things on the scroll.
...
Back in the Land of Iron.
Kaito and Daichi had already returned to the training field and were honing their skills, where Kaito saw a great improvement in his kenjutsu skills.
This was due to the help of the old man who always pointed out his mistakes and helped correct them, while some students came in search of a sparring partner.
The days passed peacefully, and another month passed while Kaito focused entirely on his training and fuinjutsu, and honing his control over his kekkei genkai thanks to his new kenjutsu technique. His reflexes greatly improved, helping with his new style.
Kaito was now out of the training field while the little black one used his head as a pillow.
Daichi looked at the human and animal duo and smiled as he spoke.
"Haha, so it's goodbye, Kaito."
"A see you soon. I hope one day I hear the great name of Daichi, the greatest swordsman in the Land of Iron," Kaito joked.
"Not before I hear about the greatest ninja of the Leaf Village, the Ice Asura," Daichi joked back.
"You kids are lively," the old man approached them while reprimanding them.
"You have improved a lot since the first time you were here. I say you inherited your father's talent, but you don't have as much dedication to the sword as he does. I remember the time he used his own three-sword style against a very strong opponent, and the enemy didn't last a second," the old man said with a sigh.
Kaito was confused to hear that because he had never seen his father use three swords before, but he began to imagine what it would be like, but soon it left his mind, as his father had spiky hair and a huge tattoo on his face, and his facial features didn't resemble anything he imagined, so he didn't think about it anymore and said his goodbyes. The old man's students also came to say goodbye because, after all, they had spent two months training together.
After the brief farewell, he headed to the exit of the Land of Iron, disguised again. His appearance was the same as when he entered the Land of Iron, although he attracted attention wherever he went, he still had his identity hidden, thus completing his objective. Near the exit, he found a small drink stand, making him feel thirsty automatically.
Kaito approached the stand where a beautiful lady attended to him.
"Hello, handsome young man, would you like to drink something to warm up your body?" the beautiful lady asked, with her black hair and white skin, she wore a cozy outfit but her curves could still be seen, and looking at her face, you could tell she was no older than 40.
"I would like the best drink in the house, please," Kaito replied. Despite still being young in this life, he had already drunk various other drinks in his past life and was used to drinking in cold climates.
"Of course, I'll prepare the best drink we have for you," she said, winking slightly at Kaito, who found her gaze strange.
The beautiful lady turned her back to her counter and began to prepare the drink. It didn't take long, and soon his drink was ready.
The beautiful lady brought the glass cheerfully and handed it to Kaito, who carefully observed the drink and then smiled and took a big sip.
"Haha, what a brave young man. I like that in young men. By the way, would you mind if I joined you? I haven't had many customers lately and I get very lonely," the woman said as she adjusted her hair with her hands.
"Of course, I would love some company," he agreed without worrying too much because after all, the drink tastes better when accompanied by a beautiful lady, so he took another sip of his drink while the beautiful lady sat beside him.
"What's your name, noble young man? You seem so strong and skilled, I'm sure you're a great swordsman," the woman said, looking into Kaito's eyes with a charming smile.
"My name is Dracule Mihawk. I'm not as strong as you think, but I have a certain passion for swords and fencing, but thank you for the compliment," he replied as he took another sip.
The lady continued to chat with Kaito while trying to seduce him, even going so far as to reveal her breasts which were previously covered. In comparison, they were no less than Tsunade's, then she took his hand and placed it on her breasts. Kaito didn't mind much, maybe because of the alcohol effect or something similar, but he felt something heating up in the lower part of his body, while slowly his head became more and more dizzy and his thoughts slower and blurred.
The woman always filled his glass as soon as it was empty, making Kaito drink more and more until it would be difficult for anyone to stand, the beautiful lady, seeing this, was amazed at Kaito's resistance to alcohol as a normal man would have fallen by now.
The moment Kaito stopped drinking and lay his head on the table, the woman smiled malicious.
"Today, I'll be able to enjoy some pleasure. Good thing I put a special remedy in his drink, or perhaps he would have run out of stock before getting drunk." Saying this, the woman didn't refrain from touching Kaito's body, especially his lower parts. Then, she got up and put his arms around her body and led him inside the establishment.
Kaito was sleeping peacefully after being knocked out by the alcohol, or at least that's what the beautiful lady thought. As she entered the establishment, Kaito opened his eyes slightly and scanned the place for any danger, but after a brief inspection, he saw that there were only the two of them in the room. However, they soon began to descend a staircase leading to the basement, and upon passing through a door, several cells with beds could be seen, and there were some people present among men and women, even children were seen in the cells. Everyone seemed to be in a deep sleep.
The woman took Kaito to the last cell while undressing him and kissing his body affectionately. But when she was about to approach his lower parts, she heard some knocking sounds on the basement door.
"Damn it, these idiots always come at the wrong times," the woman said angrily, but she looked at Kaito again and kissed a certain spot that was harder than a sword.
"I'll be right back to leave you in peace, my handsome young man." After saying this, she began to walk towards the basement door.
Kaito opened his eyes as he looked around carefully to see if there was anyone else watching him or any secret devices.
'Darn it, I knew something was wrong when I noticed he has as much chakra as a jounin, but what the heck are all these people doing here, and this lady is very lascivious, kissed and touched me all the way and even kissed that part.' Kaito sighed as he looked at his clothes, where a small furry head appeared from inside the pocket of his clothing. The woman had been so distracted before that she hadn't noticed the little black one inside the pocket of his shirt.
'By the way, I noticed that she has a very strong physical body; I believe she's focused on taijutsu. Her hands showed signs of training, and her muscles were very strong and firm. The sensation of her body was still in my hands, especially the sensation of touching those huge breasts. Maybe I should let her continue...' Kaito thought briefly about it, and his lower head was thinking the same thing, but he quickly shook his head, dispelling those thoughts.
'This woman must be plotting something; I won't risk it.' Kaito thought, getting up from the bed and quickly dressing. The woman seemed to have left the basement, so he took the opportunity to examine the people and the entire basement.
Examining all the people, Kaito realized they were just sleeping, and most adults had their chakras unlocked. He even found some ninjas from various villages, which startled him.
'If she's already captured ninjas from various villages and hasn't been discovered yet, this must be something big, and it's worse that she's in the middle of the Land of Iron.' Kaito began to worry as he saw a bottle of drink near one of the sleeping people. Smelling it, he felt the same aroma as his drink.
"I think there must be something in this drink that keeps them asleep. Good thing the moment I sensed her chakra and the moment I drank, I froze the liquids, protecting them from coming into direct contact with my body. Well, I think it's time to get rid of these liquids."
After saying this, Kaito opened his mouth, and some pieces of ice with yellowish hues came out of his throat, all of them melting in his mouth. He quickly spat them out and began to remove them again. After a few seconds, he had finally removed everything.
At that moment, footsteps and voices echoed in the basement. One of the voices was clearly that of the woman who had brought him here, while the other two were of both men.
"The offering this time will be abundant. I managed to get some ninjas, young maidens, and a few children, but the disappearance of the children caused a great problem within the Land of Iron. I recommend we act soon," the woman said, looking at one of the men.
He was wearing a suspicious all-black robe, and his voice was deeper than usual, making it seem like he was hoarse.
"Good job, our God will surely adore these offerings. We will all benefit from this, especially you," the man lowered his hood, revealing a shiny bald head that illuminated the cave, making Kaito wonder how that could happen since there was no sunlight for that bald head to reflect.
Soon, the three of them began to draw various symbols on the ground while chanting strange things, making Kaito completely shiver, especially when the circle extended to everyone in the room.
Kaito didn't wait any longer and waved his hands, releasing several wind blades and then started performing a water-style jutsu.
"Water Style Jutsu: Grand Whirlpool!" After saying this, a whirlpool of water emerged from his mouth towards the three people in the circle.
The wind blades quickly arrived, catching one of the people off guard, easily cutting him and throwing him away.
The other two reacted quickly as they dodged at the last second. The wind blade hit the gate wall, making a large cut. Seeing this, they were completely shocked because they didn't think there was anyone awake, let alone someone so strong, but they didn't have time to think about anything as the whirlpool hit them both, causing them to crash into the basement wall, making a small thud.
Kaio realized that everyone had been dealt with, making him sigh. After all, given the level of chakra and the muscular strength of that lady, it would have been an exhausting fight if they hadn't been attacked by surprise.
"Now I just need to interrogate one of them for information. I guess it will be that beautiful lady," he walked slowly towards the woman who was unconscious after colliding with the wall. Her lower body was still in the water that had accumulated in the cave as a result of Kaito's jutsu, but he didn't care at all; in fact, he liked that feeling.
As he passed through the circle that the three had drawn, he felt all the hairs on his body standing on end, causing him to quickly turn around. A large hand had emerged from that circle, red skin full of blisters and thorns with huge nails.
"God? They were worshiping the devil, and they dare to say it was God?" Kaito shouted in shock, but soon that hand attacked him, making Kaito feel powerless. However, he didn't let himself be discouraged and quickly froze the ground beneath him while several ice spikes shot towards that huge hand, which, when hit, showed signs of freezing and pain. Realizing this, Kaito didn't care anymore and continued attacking with everything he had—ice spikes, ice wolves, ice serpents, giant swords, and much more.
Transforming the arm into a large ice crystal, with several cuts and bruises.
"Phew, thank goodness it was only the damn arm that came out of the circle," Kaito thought as he looked at the circle with a brief fear because despite using everything he had practically, the arm was still intact with only a few superficial cuts.
But at that moment, a sound of cracking ice could be faintly heard, making Kaito shocked and look at that big hand, which was now moving again. He didn't want to stay still and tried to freeze the arm even more to keep it still, but no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain.
