55 Kisame returns home

Shin got out of the Hokage office after an hour long session, currently he was whistling happily, Hokage faction and Uchiha were able to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

They won't touch his Uchiha clan, and let him master a department as well, making sure he enters the upper level of Konoha, and his end of the deal was not roasting them all to oblivion.

Well, he also had to help the village take on more difficult tasks, because at the end of the day, everything came down to that, the village had to act as a whole infront of the outside world.

' Now that they are settled in they won't take any outlandish steps before everything starts to fall in place, all I have to do is wait for Orochimaru to start Konoha crush. '

Shin concluded as he went his way, those four might be cold blooded profit seeking freaks, he wasn't, so forgetting his entire clan getting massacred for a little profit wasn't about to happen.

They will get exactly what they like to dish out, his older brother Itachi will be the one delivering the whole package, that's why he didn't show up this time, to not startle anyone.

Until the very last moment, Itachi would still be the good little manipulated doll in their eyes.

" Alright, now that I finally settled in the problem, it's time to train Sasuke for real, and keep strengthening my alliance with Hyuga and Aburame. "

Said Shin in a relaxed tone of voice, his main body didn't have much to do until Chunin exams, so it was time to concentrate on his other body.

The Mizukage Kasamaro.

Within the Mist village at the training grounds, Kasamaro was facing Utakata who was holding a bone necklace.

Looking at the bone necklace, Utakata asked with a confused expression.

" I can become a perfect jinchuriki after wearing this? "

Kasamaro nodded, he can, this is a rinnegan chakra rod mixed with Kaguya clan bones, his Sharingan chakra was there in it, as long as Utakata puts this on, Saiken will immediately become dazed.

Utakata put it on his neck out of trust for the new Mizukage and felt nothing happen. So he tired to use Saiken's chakra.

* Whoosh *

A red coat of chakra immediately covered him, much easier than it normally would.

So he kept pushing it, and soon tails started sprouting out of his cloak, one two three it kept going until six and now Utakata was also in version two of his cloak.

* Grrr *

Standing on all fours, he was covered with dense red chakra, he looked much like what Naruto would have during his fight with pain, just with six tails instead of eight.

* Howl *

Giving a final howl, Utakata attempted the last transformation, and that too, went without a hitch.

His body started growing in size and soon before Kasamaro, a slug of gigantic proportions was present.

" Kasamaro sama, there are no problems from Saiken's side, the whole transformation is incredibly smoothly done! "

The slug spoke, in a booming voice, it wasn't Saiken's voice at all, it was Utakata's.

" So you are in total control, it's just a transformation for you. Sick. I like it. "

Utakata somehow managed to smile as a slug then started to crawl around the practice ground, he had to master fighting in this form but first came movement.

Kasamaro nodded to Utakata as he understood the intent behind his actions and left, his bone charm was similar to Obito's genjutsu on Yagura but softer

As time goes by, unless Utakata is an absolute shit to Saiken, he should manage to gain his approval, then they won't even require the bone charm.

" Alright I am off, I need to recreate an elite team, now, that guy is back, so my idea should work. Wouldn't you say that, Kisame? "

Utakata in Saiken form once again somehow managed to narrow his eyes, how he was showing these emotion Kasamaro didn't know, but he does know about the emotions of the guy hidden around the practice field.

* Step *

* Step *

* Step *

" Mizukage sama, I expected nothing less. "

Said a grinning man coming out of a lake and stepping towards them.

His ferocious smile and grey shark skin showed his identity immediately.

" Kisame! How dare a traitor like you come back to the village! "

Saiken's mouth opened without any more nonsense.

* Wooooom *

And a tailed beast ball was starting to form immediately.

Kisame didn't give a single look towards Utakata, as all his attention was on the new Mizukage, as for the tailed beast ball? Let's just say, he wasn't called the tailess tailed beast for nothing.

" Utakata, stand down. "

Kasamaro waved his hand and let Utakata stop his formation of the death ball.

" ... I see Mizukage sama. "

Saiken's giant body bowed and retreated back, while Kasamaro looked towards Kisame with a calm look.

" So, you are back? Got an excuse why I shouldn't destroy you immediately? "

Kisame grinned further as he bowed to Kasamaro.

" I want to work under you, want to work for the Mist village again. "

Kasamaro didn't seem too surprised, and only said.

" I see, I will use Kaguya clan's bone daze jutsu on you, you won't be able to hide anything from me for the duration of it's contact with you. "

Giving Kisame another look he explained a little more.

" Please understand, Mist just expelled a genjutsu control on Mizukage, I only wish to know if you might pose a threat, with or without your knowledge. "

Kisame laughed then bowed his head head, in recognition to Kasamaro.

" No need to explain to me lord, I am but a traitor, do what you need to do, I left Mist because of it's own people harming it's interests, I wouldn't want to do that myself. "

Kasamaro nodded, then once again condensed a bone necklace laced with his Mangekyou chakra, and handed it to Kisame.

Who took it without a question and wore it on him.

" So, why did you leave the village Kisame. "

Kisame was fully conscious and even grinning, only unable to speak a lie to Kasamaro.

" Me? I left because I was disappointed in the village, I found the man who controlled Yagura. "

Saiken's eyes immediately widened, somehow, and Kasamaro only nodded.

" I understand, so why do you return now? "

Kisame laughed merrily.

" I see it now, the village isn't what it was devolving towards, it's trying it's hardest to make a comeback, the man I followed must have been the one to orchestrate this entire thing to begin with. "

And giving a final peaceful smile Kisame concluded.

" He promised me peace in genjutsu world, but if my village itself is trying for peace, why would I purse an illusion! "

Kisame grinned and then immediately widened his eyes, as his hands quickly stabbed towards his own heart.

* Thump *

But was stopped by Kasamaro's bone necklace breaking apart into tiny armour plates.

Kasamaro only smiled at this and looked at the shocked Kisame.

" So it was a curse seal, I thought I sensed something off about you, and it immediately activated when you spoke about this illusion plan. "

Narrowing his eyes Kasamaro touched Kisame's chest and started absorbing chakra of the curse mark.

Another rinnegan ability, the usefulness of Rinnegan was absurd, a must have for any situation.

" Whoever this man you had followed, obviously dosen't want his plans to become known, something similar is done by Konoha for anbu captains, any chance they are under genjutsu, they cut open their stomach. "

* Pat *

Patting Kisame's chest for the last time, Kasamaro nodded.

" It's done. You are free, welcome back our best swordsman. "

Kisame grinned as his face was lightly covered in sweat, he didn't know something like this was set up on him.

But quickly regained his vigor and grabbed the bone necklace.

* Click *

And broke it apart.

" I am glad to be back, Mizukage sama. "

Kisame smiled, how many kage would willingly take in a traitor again? Not many, as they would have to bear the deeds of that traitor on the village.

But Kasamaro only saw his honesty, only his heart and decided to take him back in. This gave Kisame immense hope, that the trust he always wanted to have might not be misplaced this time after all.
