25 Chapter-25: Mission completed! Back to Konoha!
(The next morning)
After Kazuya woke up, he discovered that Naruto had taken back the control of the body.
'Naruto are you alright? Why did you take the control now?' Kazuya asked as he was curious.
'I'm going to train now! I want to become stronger! I don't want to be weak!' Naruto said with a lot of determination.
'Well I am going to take back the control.' Kazuya said as he took the control and as usual Naruto didn't resist.
'But why?!' Naruto asked while throwing a tantrum.
'I need get some work done and Kakashi is now dead so I also need to deal with that.' Kazuya said as he dropped a bomb.
'...H-How...?' Naruto asked as he was genuinely sad.
Kakashi was the only one who didn't show him any sort of hate.
'Because he was dangerous, Naruto. Enemy ninjas won't hesitate to kill people. I sensed that the ninja was lurking in the surrounding and his target wasn't us. His target was clearly Hatake Kakashi. He killed him and went away. That's how ninjas work. They hunt people for money. Now if you don't want to watch him go away from this world, I suggest you be inside. It's going to be a long time before you see sunlight again.' I said as I lied.
If memory searching was done then it would be on Naruto, not me. He needs to know bare minimum. As for who am I? Naruto can just say I am an imaginary character he made to deal with hard situations.
My lack of face and a set personality will make it seem genuine as well. Getting Ino to talk about the mind jutsus was easy after all.
I just asked Sasuke to ask her about some stuff along with the topic of mind jutsus in exchange for some food and she sung like a canary.
I knew details and workings of that jutsu but I cannot use it as I lack the hand seals as well as the concept on how to do them. Not like I care though. It is currently ineffective on me as I can just redirect it towards Naruto and beat the person from the inside.
As soon as I took the control, I discovered that I was lying on the ground.
Naruto must've been training right now.
I went inside the house and saw that Sasuke and Sakura were rapidly trying to wake up Kakashi.
Sakura was even crying.
"What happened?" I asked them but no one answered me.
It's not easy for them to tell me that Kakashi died.
"WHAT HAPPENED?!" I said as I pulled Sasuke aside.
"Kakashi is dead. He was poisoned, from what I can judge." He said.
His face was cold but his eyes showed how scared and sad he was.
"...Well this is bad...How did he even die? I was outside the house guarding and I saw no one snuck inside? What were you guys doing?" I asked as I made up a sad face.
"W-We also didn't hear anything nor saw anyone." He said as he acted suspiciously.
"You were asleep, right? There is no way someone can sneak past three people." I said emotionlessly.
He was quite surprised but didn't let it get to his face. His eye movement was really erratic however, betraying him.
"If someone knew that this happened then our career as ninjas is over. You can't get revenge, I cannot become stronger and Sakura...? let's ignore her goal for the time being. I'll cut you a deal. None of us will reveal anything except he died and bring his belongings to Konoha for proof. I will deal with the body and burn it directly. You will do as I say though. For now." I whispered to him.
"Wait. Why will I follow your orders?" He asked.
He didn't like chain of commands at all.
"Because you need me here. Who will believe you? Your image appears as a power hungry kid who wants revenge. They will just say you killed him and kill you off as well. Remember this well, Sharingan and Uchihas are nearly gone, so you make for a really good research material for people screwed in the head." I said as I threatened him.
"You either follow me and continue your journey to get strong or you get to cut short that journey and die pointlessly because of dirty politics. You choose." I said as I went inside the house to deal with Kakashi's body.
I picked him up and burnt his body secretly while deceiving everyone through shadow clones, who buried a clone.
I didn't forget to completely burn his flesh and powdered his bones and planted the remains near a tree. No one should get his body fragments for Edo tensei except for me.
That's why I stored away a big piece of his flesh as well as his...or should I say Obito's sharingan.
'System. How many corruption points do I have?' I asked.
[Corruption points- 100,000.]
'Impossible. How did I obtain so many points over night?' I asked.
[System doesn't know the answer to question.]
'hmm...maybe?' I thought as I dispelled one shadow clones.
It was all clear afterwards. The clones brought in some members of the goons' families to torture. So the misery increased by a lot. A lot of people were tortured constantly, without a break. Some broke, but the torture went on so points kept on generating.
'How much is a slave collar worth? Cut that. How much is a slave fuinjutsu worth?' I asked system.
[2000 points. Can be applied repeatedly. Conditions: Mind break must be achieved.]
'Will it make the people follow each and every one of my orders?' I asked.
[Yes. If the order isn't followed, immense pain will invade their bodies. Several if and then conditions can be also set.]
'Buy it. Also, how much for a space time storage?' I asked as I was curious.
[500,000 Corruption points. Infinite storage.]
'Wait. Infinite storage? Isn't it supposed to be limited?' I asked.
[The storage isn't as humans from host's original worlds' writers and artist think it is. The storage is done in 4-D mostly. The storage user is buying is done in 5-D. A lot of 1-D objects can fit in 2-D. Nearly infinite. Similarly, a lot 2-D can fit in a 3-D space. Nearly infinite. So, a lot of 3-D spaces can fit in 4-D space and a lot of 4-D spaces can fit inside 5-D space, making it practically infinite.]
'That's informative, I suppose. Then isn't the price supposed to be cheap?' I asked.
[The price was set according to system's capabilities. Folding 5-D spaces is apparently easier than most humans think.]
'Queue it for my next purchase. Right now, get me 2 sealable flasks filled with preservation solution. Make sure it's hard enough and doesn't break.' I said as I stored the piece of flesh as well as the eye ball inside them and sent them to Gato's hideout for safety.
They will stay with my clones for now.

(After 6 days)
The bridge was finally complete and it was time to go. I've made a lot of progress during this time.
I've managed to carve a slave seal on Gato as well as his goons.
My clones are also applying these seals on families inside Land of waves and only Tazuna's family was left.
They will be marked after we leave.
The commands were experimented with and all of them work properly.
The main commands are to follow me without any qualms, bring anyone who lives in Land of waves to me if they don't have a seal carved, not to reveal any information about me in way or form possible etc.
The seal was carved on the back of the neck and I specifically wrote numbers on the people's wrists to help them identify each other.
The people who acted defiantly were tortured and shut up by my clones who were professional torturers now.
Nearly 100 people were also constantly tortured at all times and no dissent was taken.
Women, men, children, youngsters, oldies... No one was discriminated against. All of them got tortured in gruesome ways and healed with Haku's help afterwards. I made sure to not do too much damage to their bodies and not be able to heal them back afterwards.
I've gotten a hang of silent killing and ANBU methods of Kiri ninjas as well. I am confident to kill an average genin through silent killing.
My jutsu repertoire also expanded.
I know a lot of water style jutsus now.
Water bullet, water prison, water dragon bullet, water whip...
You name it and I can do it as long as some water was available in the surrounding.
I was still very far from doing these jutsus with only moisture present in air or doing it just with pure chakra but it was progress after all.
Creating and undoing clones takes a lot out of me but all this is very beneficial to me.
Naruto was still inside the soul space, mourning Kakashi's death. I didn't disturb him much and let him weep.
I will deal with him in Konoha.
Sakura also started training properly after Kakashi's death and I expect her to get somewhat stronger in future. Without Tsunade's assistance however, I cannot see her becoming more than an average jonin though.
Sasuke has gotten way more serious about training as well and he doubled the training intensity.
I've also maintained a good camaraderie with them.
The main reason for that was to keep Sasuke somewhat under my influence in future and Sakura so that I can keep the Elders of Konoha away from me. They will think I am somewhat tied to village because of her.
I've also taken control of Gato company and started pulling in a lot of money through my slaves.
My strategy was to first break other competitions through sabotaging or rumors or something, rendering their employees as well as owners in a bad condition, then they come to Gato company in case they want to apply for jobs due to desperation, I carve a seal on them while lying that it's just a contract and then work them away for rest of their lives.
The process was going through strong and fast and the set list of commands were always updated because of some close calls. My clones are always improving the list of commands so I didn't need to worry about them much.
I've already 'infected' 14 companies in such short span of time and I am definitely not stopping. My main area of targeting was Kirigakure. With some help, I can definitely make them my slaves. They fight amongst themselves and I reap the benefits.
For the people who managed to slip away, I sent Haku to track for them and they got tortured for quite a while.
I may or may not have deliberately let them loose for a really short span of time and then tortured them for corruption points.
Hehehehehehe.
I am rapidly developing the regions I've 'infected' so the living conditions are way better than before.
It's just that the people needed to work a bit more than usual. My modern way of thinking as well as ideas had made them more comfortable as well and people have positive opinion of me, majorly.
Of course a lot of them think otherwise but my clones are slowly pushing the propaganda and brainwashing them rapidly by comparing past conditions with present conditions.
This is making them more tame as time goes by. I am not pushing them too much in the corner as I don't want to kill all of them.
It'd be a waste of points and efforts. Besides who will deal with the dead bodies? Hashirama?
