*Giggle*
A child's giggles echoed in the room as Itsuki played with the baby while a little girl sat beside him with a smile on her face.
"Wow! Uncle, you made Gaara laugh, she doesn't even smile when I try to play with her, and father also doesn't allow me to meet her" Temari was happy at first then her words slowly got a little weaker at the end causing her to pout.
"Don't worry, I'll come over and play with you any time you want" Itsuki said while patting Temari's head.
He knew what kind of a bastard Rasa was, Temari right now should be a lonely child who wished to be a good sister to Gaara and Kankuro but couldn't due to her circumstances, anyways, recruiting (kidnapping) the three of the sand siblings should be very beneficial for him, after all, the three of them have S-class potential.
A little manipulation here and there won't hurt anyone, after all...
It's all for the greater good.
…
Genjutsu is such a wonderful and useful thing.
Other than Temari and Gaara nobody knew he was there. As for the matter of her telling others about him, he wasn't worried.
He put a bit of Genjutsu deep inside her mind with the help of the Yamanaka clan's technique, which would temporarily make her forget everything about him when she wanted to tell other people about him. He did the same with Yugito, both of them are children and Yugito was a little bit more mature so this way his plans wouldn't be jeopardized.
Itsuki wasn't like Uchiha Madara, he was a person from the 21st century. If possible he would choose the path with less bloodshed.
The easiest way for him was to wage war on all the hidden villages but that would result in a pile of bodies which isn't what he need.
Itsuki didn't care if others called him a coward but since he had so much power he would like to use it in a way that did not harm too many people.
Well, he was planning on setting up teleportation markers over the whole Elemental nations as it would make it easier for him to travel…
…
Kumogakure.
…
Itsuki currently sparring with Yugito while his shadow clone along with Yugito's shadow clone was practicing Chakra control.
If Naruto can do it then Yugito can too. But he didn't want to risk it and only allowed Yugito to make a single clone.
He taught her shadow clones because he had gotten closer to her and her bond with him was much stronger than him to hers.
...
At first, when Yugito found out he was a Konoha shinobi and a Senju at that, she had a betrayed and confused face. He expected her to report him to the Kumo shinobi's but she instead chose to let him leave.
It was quite cute seeing her act tough telling him to go away and never come back to her ever, while trying to hold back her tears.
Itsuki on the other hand just hugged the small girl causing her to break down in his arms calling him a dummy and a liar.
Itsuki felt bad for making Yugito cry but this was much better than her being used as a tool and dying for the same people who used her as a tool.
Itsuki also told Yugito about how the First Hokage Senju Hashirama was the benefactor of Kumogakure but in the end, they still spat on this kind man's sacrifice.
Itsuki didn't lie he just talked about facts, Hashirama Senju was truly a soul too pure for this filthy world, a foolish optimist. Even if Hashirama was a fool, Itsuki couldn't help but respect the man.
He told Yugito how Hashirama caught all the tailed beasts and distributed them to the other villages in hopes of maintaining a balance and creating peace.
But as soon as Hashirama died, all the ninja villages declared war on Konoha like the rats they were.
Yugito who heard all of this was confused and lost, she was just an 8-year-old child who was taught how great their Kumogakure was from her birth, but after hearing all of these things from her sensei she couldn't attribute the glorious image of Kumo, that she was told about to her village, instead, she could only think of her village as filthy warmongers. They even attacked the peaceful Uzumaki who never participated in any wars.
Although she had only known Itsuki for less than a month, the warmth he provided was something she yearned for all her life. He didn't view her with disgust or scorn or like a tool. He viewed her like a person.
And subconsciously his position in her heart was much higher than she thought.
…
It was evening in Konoha and the hustle and bustle of the morning was nowhere to be seen.
But one thing was still the same as in the morning. The man standing at the entrance of the village with a broad grin.
Asuma had waited at the entrance of Konoha from morning till evening, waiting for Kurenai to come to bid him farewell.
But it seems Kurenai was far more devastated than he thought, she couldn't even muster the courage to send him off.
Asuma couldn't help but curse himself for making Kurenai sad. He, the great Asuma, wasn't a person who enjoyed making his woman cry.
Asuma tried to stop the manly tears from flowing down his face.
'Believe me Kurenai! It hurts me more than it hurts you!' Asuma yelled inside his mind, heart and soul.
Don't worry Kurenai your Asuma will come back after accomplishing himself as the strongest and most handsome of the Twelve Guardians.
With determination in his eyes, Asuma flashed his Charming (Crooked) smile towards Konoha as he walked out of the entrance into the horizon.
From now on the legend of the Quick Flash (Speed Shooter) will spread throughout the Land of Fire.
…
The Revival of the Uzumaki was also on the agenda. That is why Itsuki was currently in Kusagakure.
Although Itsuki wanted to avoid Casualties, Kusa definitely wasn't on the list. Because Kusagakure was better off gone from the face of this earth. Even most of the civilians in this village were trash beyond redemption.
Itsuki gazed at the weak woman at his side who was holding a newborn in her hands, she had a smile on her face and the most vibrant feature about her was her red hair just like his wife.
But unlike his wife, her red hair had lost most of its lustre and was starting to look dull. Although this woman should be in her early to late 20's she looked like a woman in her late 40's.
The woman noticing Itsuki's gaze just smiled at him "Thank you Itsuki-sama"
His vitality chakra might be able to help her replenish her lost vitality.
Itsuki smiled at her calmly but his mood was anything but calm, he now understood why some people would go to the extremely dark side…
…
Itsuki was standing atop a hill overlooking the whole Kusagakure. He had already sent Kana and Karin back to the Senju clan compound.
Itsuki took a deep breath as he was about to commit a slaughter.
A tattoo of a clock materialized on the back of his hand as it glowed a little.
A dark shadow stretched out from under him as dark mist slowly permeated from the shadow and slowly materialized into a humanoid figure.
"Ara~ it breaks my heart when you only look for me during your times of need,
Master~"
