31 Mechamaru

"What do you mean you lost Yugito?!" The Fourth Raikage, the Unruly A, yelled as he slammed his fist on his desk; shattering the piece of furniture.

"Our apologies, Raikage-sama." The jōnin before him said with his forehead on the floor, not something that would normally save him from the wrath of Raikage but when combined with the fact that he had lost an arm during the mission caused Raikage to not simply shatter his skull under his grip.

"I don't want apologies! I want answers!" The strongest man in the Land of Lightning yelled.

This was a disaster, Yugito was the Jinchuuriki of Nibi. One of the strongest shinobi in the Kumo, if not the world! Her being lost, it made Kumo weak and weakness could not be tolerated in the world of Shinobi.

"Kodai-san, please tell us exactly what happened." Mabui, his secretary and one of the few people in this village who were competent enough for him to acknowledge, said gently. Knowing that her presence was more well received compared to the muscular giant that was Raikage.

"We… we were attacked while returning from the Land of Hot Water. By some sort of group of… puppets, lead by a young woman with black hair."

"Puppets? Are you saying that you were attacked by Suna?!" Raikage asked, slightly calmer compared to moments ago.

"I… I am not sure sir. I have never seen puppets like those, so human like. And… there were no puppeteers." Kodai said with his head hanging low.

"Don't be stupid, they must have been just hiding. There is no way a puppet could move without a puppeteer." Raikage snorted at the ridiculous claim made by the Jōnin before him.

"No sir, during the battle our surroundings were completely destroyed by the battle between some of the puppets, that black haired woman and Yugito-sama. There was no place for them to hide." Kodai said, his eyes looking haunted as he remembered the battle.

"What about the black haired woman?" Mabui asked, they needed all the information they could get after all.

"She was… dear lord… she was so strong. Every blow from her created craters where her hits landed, her eyes glowed blue and as she fought, her skin turned gray. Some, some sort of doton jutsu, it made her invulnerable. Our weapons just broke whenever we hit her." The one armed Jōnin continued to talk, looking like he was about to beg for death in order to escape the hopelessness of his memories.

"The puppets killed everyone and crippled me, then they helped that woman to subdue Yugito-sama. Then... then one of the puppets just opened up and swallowed her and flew away." Then Kodai started to cry, the weight of his failure and the loss of their team finally settling on him.

Seeing that they couldn't get anymore information out of him, Raikage had one of his ANBU take him out and let him rest. Then he turned to Mabui.

"How much of what he said do you think is the truth?"

"I believe that at the very least, he thinks that he's telling the truth. Kodai-san have been serving the village dutifully for years; I don't believe he betrayed us. He likely is traumatized though." The silver haired secretary said with a pitying look in her eyes, it was always sad to see one of their Shinobi being reduced to such a state.

"Then this is even more disastrous. Puppets that are far more advanced than anything we know of and their user kidnapping our Jinchuuriki. Do you think it's Suna?" The muscular man asked his aide.

"I... don't think so. I have never heard of a woman who could harden her body, not to mention puppets of such level. I don't think Suna would be hiding those in their current economical situation. They would be using them to attract customers, not to mention their sealing masters aren't as good as the other villages. If they try to extract a Nibi, there would be a very high chance of the monster cat to break free and destroy their village. Current Kazekage Rasa is not such a foolish man." Mabui explained her reasoning to her Kage who nodded, seeing the logic in her words.

"Have the hunting division go out and find Yugito. We can not allow her to remain in the hands of a potential enemy. Also have all the ANBU in the village in high alert and ready to protect Bee, if they went after one Jinchuuriki then they might go after him as well." The muscular giant said with a glare and Mabui nodded at him, leaving to do exactly as he said.

Raikage sighed as he watched his secretary leave the office, things were not good.

"So, how was your first proper battle with your new powers?" I asked with a smile as I watch her walk towards me.

It was still rather surreal, me being a waifu catalog client in Naruto world. Waiting for an evil Yaoyorozu Momo to come to me in my mansion. It is rather frightening how much can change.

"Didn't you watch through your droids?" Once hero student asked as she rolled her eyes.

"Ahh, but I want to hear it from your mouth. Describe me how it was, your first proper battle using the Old Power." I said with a grin growing on my face as Momo sighed, the sound of Biwa strings in the background.

"Amazing. I knew that I was strong, stronger than almost anyone in this world. But actually experiencing in battle, it was... amazing." She said with a shudder, a slight manic look in her eyes.

Not that I could blame her, Yaoyozu Momo only held one power that made her potentially dangerous but also a glass canon. Now, she held a power that made her immediately dangerous, kind of power that could allow her to even fight against the likes of Allmight. The power of Caiera Oldstrong.

"Also, please do not call them droids. My Mechamarus are far superior to those comic reliefs from Star Wars." I sniffed at her, rather miffed how she had dismissed my primary battle option as mere droids.

"What did you do to the target?" Seems like dear Momo wanted to change the subject.

"She is in one of the other rooms, getting... retrained. I can have Nakime sent you there if you want." I said as I looked up at the demon waifu I had bought, sitting on a flying platform with her Biwa in her hands; making no motion to indicate if she was even aware of our presence as she kept playing her instrument.

"No, there is no need." She said, guess she wasn't exactly fond of the screen time training method I used. Oh well, her loss.

"Then I'll send you to Mei, she said that she needed your help with some sort of project." I told her seeing her nod, I did the same towards Nakime who made a rather strong sound with her Biwa's string and Momo was gone.

Whelp, it was about time I continued with my projects. The Elemental Nations wouldn't be conquered if I kept being lazy after all.
