Chapter 22 - She returned
''Sumure.... Is that who I think it is'' Sukuna asked coldly as he and Sumure arrived at the place they were fighting Kisame.
Kisame was originally already struggling against Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, Guy and Anko. But then another loud woman arrived and nearly stomped the back of his head 6 feet into the ground and another toad-like geezer.
''It seems so'' Sumure said in an emotionless tone that seemed bone-chilling.
''Lets go, if they can't kill him with this then they might as well kill themselves instead'' Sukuna said coldly as he turned away, but then Kisame's voice rang out as he laid eyes on Sukuna.
''How are you here?? Damn you Itachi! You traitor!'' Kisame screamed as his eyes turned bloodshot.
''Sukuna!'' Kurenai looked at his blood-stricken eyes and had flashbacks of what happened before, she didn't give Kisame any more attention as she dashed towards Sukuna.
Jiraya and Tsunade looked at him before Tsunade spoke up with a confused tone, ''Sumure? Is that his child or something?''
Jiraya looked hesitant to answer, but Kakashi spoke up and said, ''No, his name is Sukuna Senju, the new Patriarch of the Senju's''
Tsunade trembled as shock filled her face and said, ''That kid?! Are they insane? What can I child like him do?''
''Tsunade, you shouldn't talk about the kid like that. His talent is better than ours'' Jiraya said with a bitter smile which seemed to piss her off even more,
''So what? Talent in killing doesn't mean talent in leading a clan!''
As they were arguing, Sukuna's head was grabbed from both sides by Kurenai who seemingly forget that they were in public as she said in a worried tone,
"Are your eyes, okay? Please don't tell me you lost vision complete!''
Sumure smiled lightly and disappeared, leaving Sukuna and Kurenai to themselves. Kisame was silently making an escape plan, but Kakashi, Asuma and Guy made sure he had no escape while Jiraya and Tsunade also finally came to their senses.
Sukuna slowly opened his perfectly fine eyes and smiled lightly, ''I'm fine, don't worry too much''
Kurenai gave a sigh of relief before realizing how she was holding him. Luckily her fellow Jonin-Sensei's didn't see her because they were too busy fighting Kisame.
''Why are you here? Where is Itachi?'' Kurenai asked with a worried expression.
''He left, so now we can take care of this walking tuna'' Sukuna replied with a light smile.
Kurenai's expression turned into shock as she wanted to say something, but Sukuna continued, ''Lets first make sure this one is dead, after that we will talk alright?''
''Alright but keep a safe distance. You're already injured'' Kurenai said as she let go of Sukuna's face.
Sukuna smiled and moved fast enough to merely be a blur for her eyes as she felt a soft peck on her forehead.
She felt her forehead and smiled lightly, it seemed his feelings hadn't changed yet...
…
'My chakra is already almost depleted, even if I use the fusion, I won't have any chakra left and will be caught' Kisame said as he gritted his sharp teeth. They had already broken his dome, with Guy's Taijutsu being extremely useful once more.
'Did Itachi betray us? There is no way he would lose against that kid and one of his guards. They don't feel as dangerous as Jiraya or that blond woman' Kisame thought as Guy hit him once more in his side.
As he flew through the air, Tsunade appeared behind him and hit him straight on his spine before launching him through a few trees.
At that moment, Kakashi appeared at his side with a Chidori in his right hand, launching it straight towards Kisame's stomach.
''DAMN YOU!'' Kisame yelled as his sword grew twice its size.
''Kakashi! Get out of there!'' Jiraya yelled as Kakashi hastily jumped back.
''Samehada! Eat me!'' Kisame yelled with bloodshot eyes as he turned towards them, ''If I die, I will take you all with me!''
Samehada's huge mouth suddenly turned towards Kisame as it ate bit his body into two before drinking his blood.
''Stay away from that thing!'' Tsunade said towards the others. However, as Samehada seemed to be enjoying its feast and glowing with a strange glow, a figure shot past them.
Tsunade was stunned as Jiraya tried to grab the figure and yelled, ''Sukuna-chan! Don't!''
However, Sukuna already appeared next to the sword with his fist coated in Wind Elemental Chakra.
Others may not have known, but he did. When he activated his Sharingan, he could faintly feel another being inside the sword. Which Sukuna deduced to be one of White Zetsu's clones.
That rat was too dangerous to be left alive, luckily he had been stuck in Samehada so he doesn't know what happened outside.
Sukuna's fist hit Samehada just above the hilt as it gave out an anguished beastly cry before crashing into several trees.
However, Sukuna appeared behind it and kicked it up in the air. His body disappeared once more and appeared above it and drew his sword coated in Wind Force and stabbed it through the middle.
The poor sword didn't even get the chance to transform as it crashed in front of the others into the ground with another sword pierced through its middle with Sukuna standing on top of the hilt.
The others were shocked before Tsunade yelled, ''What is your problem! Do you know dangerous that was!''
Sukuna didn't say anything and merely stomped on the sword once more as the sword cried out.
''I will give you two choices, obey me, or I will erase you'' Sukuna's ice-cold voice sounded through the sword's consciousness as it struggled for a little bit before dying down.
This guy had no honor! It just had to eat its master to kill them all, but he didn't even get the chance to transform! Wasn't there a rule for this? This was unfair!
''I'm talking to you!'' Tsunade yelled as she came before Sukuna who didn't give her any attention.
''Tsunade, calm down!'' Jiraya said with a bitter smile as he arrived next to her. However, Kurenai gulped before standing in front of them which confused them.
Shortly after, Guy and Kakashi did the same while Asuma was just spectating from the side with a confused expression.
As for Satori? Sumure had already dragged him away like Sukuna instructed as they walked towards here.
''What are you all doing?'' Jiraya asked with a confused expression.
''We merely think that there has been enough fights today, Jiraya-Sama'' Guy replied with a sheepish smile.
''What?! You all think I would fight with a child?!'' Tsunade said in a shocked voice while Sukuna finally had Samehada calm down and picked it up.
''No, but he will surely fight you'' Kurenai replied while scratching her face with a bitter smile.
''Huh? What do you me-….'' Tsunade couldn't even reply as she hastily crossed both her arms as Sukuna arrived at her side, Jiraya also hastily acted and helped her block the sword in his hands.
However, his strength wasn't in pure force, only Tsunade's was.
The sword crashed into their arms and Jiraya couldn't help but smile lightly, this kid was truly talented. Tsunade on the other hand wanted to curse, not understanding what was going on but Sukuna disappeared once more and arrived at her side.
As he wanted to slash out once more, Guy arrived in front of him and held his arms with two gates opened while Kurenai grabbed his waist and Kakashi standing in front of him with his Sharingan revolving.
''Sukuna, it's enough. I understand you're angry but please calm down!'' Guy said as he held Sukuna's arms while his feet dug into the ground, this child's strength was ridiculous!
''Sukuna, don't be like this! They will think you are a traitor'' Kurenai whispered desperately in his ears.
As the three of them tried convincing him, Sukuna looked at them in confusion and said, ''Angry? Me? Why should I?"
The five of them looked at him in confusion as Tsunade's voice rang out, ''Why the hell did you attack me then?!''
Sukuna's eyes turned towards Tsunade and said in a sarcastic tone, ''I was just testing out my new sword, since you're the oldest here, I would naturally want to 'learn' from you''
''Hah?!'' Tsunade's face turned full of rage as she wanted to attack the brat, but Jiraya hastily held her back with a bitter expression as he said, ''Sukuna, you already know who she is right?''
''Aaah yes, ofcourse! Tsunade Senju, ofcourse I know who she is! I was waiting to meet her for a long time!'' Sukuna replied as Tsunade calmed down before her eyes turned bloodshot by his following words,
''Tsunade Senju, in respect of your grandfather, you can keep your last name. But from this moment onwards, you're expelled from the Senju Clan. Please do not proclaim yourself as a Senju Clan Member anymore or I will make sure you will regret it''
Leaving those words, Sukuna disappeared. Not caring about the carnage Tsunade was about to create in that area.
'Grandma, I told you I would try to forgive her. But just seeing her made my blood boil' Sukuna sighed as he disappeared towards the area of the Senju Compound.
It was time to check up on Rin's condition....
