14 Yes

I entered the village under Shibuki's guidance, Yamato was behind me, when we arrived the villagers were lined up tied, I could count there were around 20 shinobi's all missing-nin.

But doubt began to creep up in my head, not on my abilities but this village's abilities! How the hell did Fu not get captured all this time?

Hero water can only really do so much, but like I said, perhaps because of the war and the sealing of Chomei inside Fu is the reason why their manpower is so depleted.

"You're finally here."

I arrived with Shibuki of course and Yamato sensei had transformed himself as Fu.

"Looks like you're here, and you have the brat with you."

"Suien!"

I forgot the names of these people and Suien's lackey's but I'm glad they're not holding anyone in their arms hostage and they're even far from them.

"Alright I'll let this girl go as a reward for your bravery."

Shibuki gritted his teeth as Suien who had a little girl on his arms was suddenly let go and ran to her mother.

"So where's the Hero water?"

"Here"

"Good toss it here and make that brat bring over the other brat, he'll make a good ransom against Konoha."

Shibuki tossed it towards Suien, right before he caught it.

"Now!"

I immediately arrived at his side and slashed his throat, right now I don't need to think twice about doing this, in an instant Yamato and Shibuki immediately threw the Kunai's on the other Nineteen shinobi's

Suien's henchmen tried to parry it or dodge but in a flash for each I slashed their throats not thinking about anything else as I tried to go as fast as I could.

Shibuki who followed Yamato's order who had just threw the Kunai and Hero water was reluctant at first but when he saw what happened he gulped

"As expected."

Yamato who had returned to his normal form looked at the carnage in front of him, over twenty Jonin or missing-nin dead in almost an instant.

"He! He's not the Fourth Hokage's son is he?"

"No."

Shibuki asked, as he had heard the tales of the fourth during his younger years, he looked at Yuki who wiped the blood of his face.

He saw how he summoned clones and released the villagers, he wondered if he could do what Yuki had done, he, Shibuki was perhaps only a few years older than Yuki but yet Yuki was already like one of those geniuses he had heard.

"Hey."

Both Yamato and Shibuki was called out by Yuki.

"They're missing Nin right? Do they have bounty on their heads?"

Yamata flinched and wanted to smack Yuki for his question but he couldn't deny it either their body's were in pristine condition other than the slits in their throats.

"Ah! I'll take care of that I guess?"

Shibuki said as Yamato shook his head, he then summoned a clone and called for the rest of Team 8 to come of course he had to ask Shibuki first.

"Ye-yeah, I guess I should host you guys for a day."

"Shibuki-san, is Fu a Jinchuriki?"

Shibuki flinched and nodded, some of the villagers who heard Yamato as they were about to thank him and Shibuki instantly changed their minds.

"You're from Konoha aren't you?"

A man asked, as he approached with some of the older men in the village, Yamato nodded at his question wondering what he was gonna ask.

"Yes, is there something wrong? I'm sorry we had to do it this way."

"No no! everything is fine, its just that."

The old man sighed feeling powerless.

"Can you take the demon out of our hands?"

"Iwata-sama!"

Shibuki didn't want for it to happen, Fu was just a child although she was hated but he saw her as somewhat of her little sister.

"No Shibuki, although you are now the head of the village, but look at what happened today? We are weak and we acknowledge that if because of our greed, perhaps there would have been Jonin's that could have helped us avert this crisis."

Yamato just listened while Yuki waved at him who had finished lining up the 20 bodies of the missing-nin on the side.

"I'll promise to use the Hero water!"

"We can't keep relying on Hero water! It's no longer war time! look at our state now we used to be proud that no other village could try to attack us but now a few missing-nin and we are defenseless!"

Shibuki clenched his fist and bit his lip while Yamato continued listening, shortly Kurenai, Hinata, Kiba and Shino entered the village they were amazed by its sight but was more amazed at the pile of bodies.

Iwata, the man who had talked to Yamato turned back towards him.

"While Shibuki is the Head of the village, there are still elders around here, can you please tell the Hokage of our current situation? And Perhaps allow him to station a few Jonin to safeguard our village while we produce some in the meantime?"

"I cannot do any guarantee's but I will relay your message to the Hokage Iwata-san."

Yamato bowed, he then gave a brief summary of what happened to Kurenai.

"I'll do it alone."

"Alright, I'll stay here with them in case something ever happens again."

"Just trust Yuki."

Yamato said to Kurenai who nodded as he immediately left not wanting to waste a second longer, Fu who was with Hinata looked at the villagers, when they saw her she felt their glares and hid behind Hinata who patted her back.

"I know this is not the best time but please come with me."

Shibuki told Kurenai and the rest of Team 8 as he took them to a guest house where they could rest along with Fu, but he was mostly doing this for Fu.

Iwata sighed, he then went to Yuki who was examining the corpses and had his clones collect the Kunai's he had thrown earlier, it was a waste to not use it again especially if its only use was to be thrown so he could perform Hiraishin or commonly known as the Flying Thunder God.

"Young man, you know seeing you makes me jealous of the other villages."

"Mm?"

Yuki was startled when he was being called out, but thanks to his experience to listening old men grumble a few months back he decided to listen.

"You know I was proud of this village back then, but we got greedy, I know you're asking why a village like us can't even defend itself from Missing-nin?"

"Well yeah."

"Its mostly because of the War and Fu, we allocated so much resources in capturing the Seven Tails that most of our Jonin that survived the war died."

This confirmed Yuki's theory.

"Then why not use the Hero water?"

"You know about it? Perhaps its necessary, while it does have its benefits but it shortens your lifespan it was very good during the war a chunin coud have just a small vial of it and he could instantly threaten one jonin squad."

"Am I wrong to say that you did the same when you tried sealing the seven tails?"

"Yes, of course it was along with our genuine Jonin, now we're nothing but Chunins and Genins left."

"I see."

I just didn't say anything and soon the man left me alone, I raised my eyebrow, if there something I gained it was.

I took out a Kunai and slashed my hand and it went through.

'Kamui.'

Finally I learned the principle behind when I was using Hiraishin in quick succession earlier allowing me to get a glimpse on how it works, I'll experiment with this later on, perhaps I can now use those alternate dimensions like Mother.

"Yuki-kun."

"Hinata?"

Hinata gave me a towel, it was wet, then I understood what it was for, I wiped my face, I guess there was still some blood left.

"Thanks Hinata-chan."

"Mm, anytime Yuki-kun, Kurenai sensei called you, he said he wants you to rest."

"I'm fine."

I smiled at her as I patted her head, for the first time she took my hand and stopped it.

"I'm not a kid anymore Yuki-kun."

I scratched my head and chuckled.

"I'm sorr-"

She then took my hand and dragged me to where the rest of them are, damn girls grip are strong, or maybe I'm just letting them drag me around?
