Chapter 340: Saving Isobu/a girl
Chapter 340: Saving Isobu/a girl
Konohagakure,
The war had been going on for a while now, Konoha was being targeted heavily and they didn't have enough people to fight.
Hence, even children who were just Chunin were sent to fight as well. Even the 4-year-old, Uchiha prodigy had gone to fight too. But it traumatized him more than it helped him.
Fugaku Uchiha saw the distress in his son, Itachi's eyes. So, he decided to send his son on a different mission, away from all the fighting but still very dangerous.
The mission was to find the unknown man who was taking away the tailed beasts and learn from him.
He sent Shisui Uchiha with his son as they both knew each other well and Shisui was a very powerful ninja in his own right.
...
Konoha was on the backfoot. Iwagakure was proving to be tough to defeat.
So, a plan was devised to disrupt Iwa's supply line of Iwa by destroying the Kannabi bridge.
Minato Namikaze's team 7 was sent for it. But during that mission, something regrettable happened and Obito Uchiha died in it.However, Minato was still able to destroy the bridge and also defeat a thousand enemy ninjas. For this feat, he received the name Konoha's Yellow Flash.
...
Kirigakure, Water country
Befitting its name, the village was surrounded by a thick mist, with several mountains in the background, making it difficult to be found by foreigners. Kirigakure's architecture was composed of several cylindrical buildings, with the Mizukage's office being the widest and largest. Most of the buildings had vegetation growing on their roofs.
Due to the village's high number of missing-nin, Kiri had a subdivision of Anbu known as hunter-nin that are specifically tasked with eliminating these defectors.
Kirigakure's society was split into a form of caste system since the founding of the village. The highest-ranking civilians were those whose family lineage originally stemmed from within Kirigakure.
The second caste was for members of families who were allied with Kirigakure on the battlefields in the past while the last and lowest caste consisted of members of the families who were defeated on said battlefields and annexed into the village.
From the early days on, the members of the third caste were handled with caution and had to complete the most perilous and dangerous missions for the village, thus keeping them occupied and preventing them from revolting.
The village became infamously known as the "Village of the Bloody Mist" for a cruel reason, in the Kirigakure Academy, students wishing to graduate had to fight to the death, and only those who survived could advance to the ranks of the ninja.
Alexander knew what he was getting himself into. This time his task wouldn't be just taking the tailed beasts away.
Alexander appeared directly inside the office of the Third Mizukage. It was empty at that moment.
As standard procedure, he looked through the document. Calling the practices of the village bad was an understatement, it was barbaric. Children being forced to kill each other. Casteism, outright inhumanity.
"Berry, Chomei, go and find Saiken and Isobu." He ordered them.
"WAIT!..." He suddenly stopped the two from leaving.
He came across a document. It was a plan for destroying Konoha with the help of Isobu. They had sealed a tailed beast in a girl named Rin Nohara from Konoha.
They expect her to go out of control and destroy the village.
~Dammit,~
"Plans have changed, find Saiken, and get ready to leave. We can't let your reputation be more smothered by the greedy warmongers." He ordered them.
They all started to look for Saiken by trying to sense him. He told all the tailed beasts with him to try to talk with him telepathically.
Soon they sensed him somewhere in the village's Shinobi barracks. The man who was the Jinchuriki was called Utakata.
Alexander appeared near him. The man preferred solitude and was not particularly talkative so he was all alone at that time.
He went ahead and extracted the six-tails. Soon a slimy Saiken jumped at him as well.
Alexander had to use his magic to not get the sticky matter from Saiken's body on him. Saiken was an enormous white, bipedal slug, with a light blueish tint and stubby arms, feet, and six long tails. It had two prominent optical tentacles and hole-like openings as a mouth. Its entire body was covered in a thick, slimy substance.
"G-Chan!"
"Hahaha, how are you Saiken? Have you been a good boy?" Alexander asked as he patted his head.
Saiken nodded, "Un, I never made trouble."
"Good, now let's go. We need to save Isobu, he's in trouble and has no control over himself," he stated and they started flying away.
"Saiken, you were close to Isobu, you should be able to talk or sense him right?" He asked.
"Oh, yes. We used to talk a lot. But then something happened and he disappeared. Ummmmm... he's somewhere in the far west." He pointed his little hands in a direction.
They all flew to it and crossed over the Fire Country. Saiken was still telling them to keep going.
After a while, they came upon an open field and saw a white-haired boy and a girl in the middle of encirclement by Kirigakure's Jounin and Anbu.
The boy had some lightning-like thing going on his hand and the girl just jumped in front of him with tears in her eyes.
Alexander knew that if the Jinchurikli died then it would take a lot of time for the tailed beast to appear again. Because the tailed beasts were pure chakra, they cannot actually be killed. If they or their Jinchuriki dies, their chakra would just re-coalesce in time.
"STOP!"
He jumped down in the middle of them and grabbed the lightning with his bare hands.
It shocked the white-haired boy.
Behind them, Douglas, Hats, Berry, and all the tailed beats were beating the crap out of all the Kiri shinobi.
Alexander looked at the girl that nearly bumped into him at the same time. He put his index finger on her forehead.
The seals opened, the curses were removed, and quickly, Isobu came out. But he seemed to be angry and enraged at the moment. The moment he came out he instantly started killing the Kiri ninjas and destroying the surrounding area.
Isobu primarily resembled a large turtle, but with a crab-like shell was usually timid and reserved but something must have happened to him that got him so worked up.
In an instant, to control Isobu. Chomei, Son Goku, Kokuo, Shukaku, and Saiken returned back to their original size. Each held one arm and leg of Isobu.
"Isobu, calm down. It is me. I came back for you." Alexander shouted.
But Isobu didn't even look at him. So, he jumped in front of his eyes. He felt like he was being manipulated, or you can say, he was hypnotized.
He quickly entered his mind and undone all the mind control. Then finally, Isobu stopped.
Alexander this time enlarged himself and caressed his head, "It is all right, Isobu-chan, look, G-Chan is back."
Isobu looked at him for a second and then jumped into his arms with crying noises, "G-Chan, I was so scared."
He patted his head, "It's okay now, child. I am here for you, no one will harm you anymore."
It took a while to bring him back to his usual state. If anyone were to see this state of a tailed beast, no one could say they didn't have feelings or emotions.
Soon after all the tailed beasts shrunk themselves and again took their positions on Alexander and Douglas, he looked down at the two children, "Who are you two?"
"We..."
Before the white-haired boy could say anything, a kunai with a white handle came towards Alexander at a high speed.
Alexander easily caught it and looked, there was something written on it. Then the next second a blonde man appeared in front of him out of nowhere and threw a blue energy ball at his face.
The Blonde man was sure that his speed and movement were unpredictable but while he was throwing the blue spinning ball at the old man, he noticed the old man's pupil moving and following him even at such high speed. But he went ahead with the attack.
*BOOM*
