66 [ANBU chronicles! Part 3]
We arrive back at the outpost and I let everyone down on the ground… Almost all ANBU's jumped off my Iron sand as soon as we came a little close to the ground…
'Heh! Guess all ninjas are paranoid...'
Having no control over their movement must have been a nerve cracking experience for them… I look at my chakra bar and there was still a lot of chakra left for me to use…
'Uzumaki bloodline for the win!! Oh! Taichou's calling!'
Taichou signaled at me to approach as he began firing instructions, "White, go back to Kusagakure and monitor the movement of everyone there! We need to make sure that Iwa retreats before we can move back..."
"Yes Taichou"
I rush back into the forest and towards Kusagakure, entering the village was almost as easy as before, a large number of shadows help me dodge the increased number of patrols… As it was a little late now the streets were empty so I couldn't roam around the village like before…
'Damn, now what!' I look around for possible answers but I couldn't find anything…
'I don't have enough chakra to do continuous shadow traveling around the whole village… guess we will do it old school...'
'Henge no Jutsu'
I change my face and clothes into that of a prostitute, A red revealing dress was my choice of attire, that showed a little too much skin to be worn by any self-respecting female…
I started hanging around in the alley while making note of the chakra signatures rushing around the village…
'Hehe! Kusa will be pissed but they can't prove it was us...'
I walked from alley to alley trying to hide away from the public eye while sometimes shadow traveling around the village… The sun was just coming up and my work was about to get harder when a notification popped up!!!
[A Rank Mission completed: War of Shadows!]
[The Iwa faction has retreated for now and they won't be trying another siege for 6 months at lease.]
[Rewards: +20,000 EXP, +50 SP]
'Finally...'
I was still in an alley when I sense several chakra signatures regrouping outside the village walls and seemingly heading in the general direction of Iwa…
'I need to get out of Itachi's control first of all...'
I selected the Sharingan and clicked on upgrade…
!!!
[Please select a unique power for your left eye]
[Amaterasu]
[Tsukuyomi]
[Kamui (Short range)]
[Kamui (Long range)]
[Katoamatsukami]
'... I don't know what it is...'
I focused on Amaterasu and a new window popped up… I started reading the description as various thoughts kept bouncing in my head...
'...the highest form of fire release… 7 days and 7 nights… this seems awesome, but I need to buy Katoamatsukami first, what is it anyway… so Itachi has been controlling my actions?'
I immediately clicked on the option and it felt like a curtain has been lifted from my brain… I could sense false memories present in my head and it started to hurt as I processed all the information at once…
*pant*
'...so It was Danzo… that fucker… he's dangerous, a man of that caliber is an elder of Konoha, he's shady as hell...'
As I was getting used to the new memories and my trust in the village hierarchy was being put to test… another window popped up…
[Please select a unique power for your right eye]
[Amaterasu]
[Tsukuyomi]
[Kamui (Short range)]
[Kamui (Long range)]
[Katoamatsukami]
'Right, should I take the flames… lemme check the other one's first… so my choices are unquenchable flames… perfect genjutsu… long-range space-time technique… Intangibility and access to another dimension… or another charge of mind control...'
'Damnit this is hard… let's go with Tsukuyomi, Itachi defeated Kakashi-san with just one look in a matter of seconds… if I am gonna have a trump card it would be this one...'
I selected the Tsukuyomi and the knowledge on how to activate the technique came into my mind… I turn back and walked into a nearby alley and after releasing the henge I jumped into a nearby shadow and made my way towards the outpost…
'Shadow Transportation Jutsu'
---------------------------X0X----------------------------
I stood upon the lamp post right in front of the main gates of Konoha… The village was back to its usual chitter-chatter as children were running around the streets and people were mingling… the damages caused by the invasion were still there as I let my chakra sensing explode and actively used it to search for Yugao-nee…
'Not here...'
I jumped onto a nearby rooftop and after doing a full patrol around the village I found her in front of the hero statue standing… her belly had a little bump so anyone could sense that she was with a child…
'I should have expected this...'
I used shunshin to arrive beside her…
"You know if you are going to spend your time just standing here, you will turn into another Kakashi-san..."
She chuckled a little before replying, "there is no way in hell I am touching that little orange book… you came back early!"
I walk towards the statue and unsheathed my sword, I plunge it into the ground as I bow my head a little… "You know me Yugao-nee, I'm awesome..."
I sheath my sword back and started to push Yugao-nee towards the village, "and you should stop trying to make me look back, I was the perfect student, I don't want Sensei blaming me for you standing out here for who knows how long!!!"
"... yeah yeah, you and..."
We both chuckle and talk all the way as we made our way back to her apartment…
'I'll talk to you later, Sensei!'
