Chapter 19

'The brain was burnt to ashes by my jutsu?' Kasai thought inwardly.

Right now, Kasai was standing, still in shock, beside Hina and his Gin Sensei. He couldn't believe that the Dragon's Flare that he thought was weak had that effect on the opponent's internal organs. He had never tried it on a living object before, that's why he didn't have any idea about its full effects and capacity.

Although, he had tried it on rocks before, but as the rocks don't have any internal organs, the jutsu couldn't show its true nature, which was a silent killer jutsu.

He was left in a stupor for a moment, before he looked at the Hokage, meeting Hiruzen's eyes which glints for a second.

"For now, I want you to be careful in using the jutsu during a mission. It could accidentally hurt your allies," Hiruzen warned with a serious expression.

"Yes sir," Kasai replied as he firmly nodded his head.

"Alright, you two may leave now," he mumbled glancing towards Kasai and Hina.

Kasai and Hina nodded their heads as they started walking out the Hokage's office.

As the two left, Hiruzen gave Gin a serious look and said, "Gin, as the team captain of Team 20, I want you to closely supervise and guard Kasai properly,"

"Understood Lord third," Iruka said knowingly. "Kasai is a very talented kid. I'll make sure to mold him into a fine shinobi," He turned toward the Hokage with his last statement.

Hiruzen nodded thoughtfully. "I agree. Kasai is truly a talented kid for being able to develop new Justus at such a young age," He looked at Gin for a second. "I'm sure he'll become a fine shinobi, but that wasn't what I'm worried about right now."

Gin paused for a second and asked, "What is it, Lord Third?"

The second he finished asking, someone knocked on the door behind him. It was a man with white hair. He looked to be roughly in his thirties, judging from his appearance, but his face wasn't looking very good. When he entered the door, he greeted Hiruzen.

"Sakumo," Hiruzen said gazing at the newcomer.

"Lord Third, sorry to interrupt, I am here to report something urgent," Sakumo suddenly blurted out.

Hiruzen turned his head towards Gin and ordered him to leave the room for now. Although Gin was curious about what Hiruzen said earlier, He could not choose to disobey his orders, so he left the Hokage's office without knowing the things that the Hokage was worried about Kasai.

Meanwhile, Sakumo watched Gin walking out of the office. When he's sure that Gin was out, he turned his gaze towards Hiruzen.

"That was the jonin who is handling the three genins who were attacked yesterday, isn't he Lord Third?" Sakumo said.

Hiruzen nodded his head lightly and replied "Indeed. He's Kazama Gin. He's nothing exceptional, but he could properly guide those three. After all, He's a jonin of Konoha, even though the other spies who are still hiding would likely take revenge against those three in shadows, Gin will be able to fend them off. He'll only have to be wary of root anbus sent by Danzo."

"Danzo... I see, had he gotten wind of the news about this genin who developed new Jutsus at such a young age?" Sakumo asked.

"You know that sly old fox. He always had his ways in acquiring news faster than us," Hiruzen snorted. "He's likely interested in Kasai's Jutsu and is planning some things to get him to train under his wing," he added.

"Then aren't you going to do anything to protect the genin?"

"I've already sent an anbu to check Kasai daily. We can't be sure that this genin, won't be able to develop ninjutsu that could increase Danzo's strength," Hiruzen replied. "Anyways have you got any additional Intel about yesterday's event?"

"Yes, Lord Third, we were able to catch the shinobi who got away from the backups yesterday. He was indeed a shinobi from Iwagakure...."

.........................

Deep inside a dim-lighted infrastructure, a man, clad in dark blue cloak with a mask on his face, was kneeling down in front of the man known Danzo.

With a low yet audible voice, the man speaks, "Lord Danzo, you summoned me?"

While speaking, the man's head was lowered, not daring to look up to his eyes.

"Kasuke, I have a mission for you," Danzo replied not bothering to spare a look at the man kneeling in front of him. "I want you to take this seriously," he added.

"What is it Lord Danzo?"

"Your mission is very simple. I want you to take a close look on a genin named Kasai in shadows. Make sure you watch every move he takes and report it to me,"

"Understood Lord Danzo,"

"He's a very interesting kid. I wanted to see more of him, before I try to take him in to the root," he paused and gaze down at the man in black cloak and continued, "One more thing that you have to do, is to see if he had written explanations about his Jutsus that he kept in him, bring it to me if possible,"

"Yes,"

"You may go," Danzo ordered. Upon his words echoed through the halls, the man in black cloak disappeared from his spot.

.........................

Kasai was back again to the mini dragon land, standing at the center of the valley. At a distance Kiyoshi, the white dragon, was resting beside a huge rock with her eyes watching Kasai mastering the Water release.

"Water Release: Wild Water Chain," for the third time, Kasai finished weaving the hand seals for the jutsu and screamed the name like he saw in the anime, thinking it would help him finalize the form of the chain.

Once again, Koyoshi, who heard him yelling the name of the jutsu, released a thunderous laugh as it slammed its paws down to the ground causing loud "thud" to echo along its laugh.

"Stop it Kiyoshi, I'm trying to focus you know!?" Kasai said as he guided the water to form a chain with his chakra. When he was almost at the middle of the Chain, he suddenly lost the control of his Chakra infused in the water, causing it to explode and send him again slamming to the ground.

When his body slammed to the ground, Kiyoshi's laugh echoed again throughout the valley.

"You're aware that you sound like an idiot yelling the name of your move or whatever you call it, right? And...." Kiyoshi paused as she tried to calm her self from the temptation to laugh again and continued, "I like how you fall to the ground so hard that every time you hit the ground you release a feminine-like groans."

"Shut it, that's how I see it in an Anime," Kasai replied.

"Well, you still sound stupid though,"

"No, it's not,"

"It is,"

"Shut it Kiyoshi, and go absorb energy so you'll become stronger," Kasai muttered as he positioned himself to try the Wild Water Chain again.

"I can do it later. I'm having fun watching you yell then boom!, you fly and slam! Hit the ground," Kiyoshi replied trying to contain its laughter as she spoke.

'I am you master, right? This damned dragon. Aren't you supposed to be proud and elegant?' Kasai cursed inwardly as he stares at the white dragon as it recklessly laugh at his actions.
