Chapter 33 Jugo

A day later, Arata soon arrived at the ruined and destroyed village. He looked at the wreckage and almost couldn't believe what he saw. He saw ruined houses and several pits on the ground, He continued to observed and saw there was several bodies littering the ground. To think that all this happened because of one's out of control behavior. If Arata hadn't received the particular mission from Orochimaru, then he would've wanted to eliminate this person that he was supposed to bring. If he has uncontrollable anger or power, then he is a threat to everyone around him. Arata closed his eyes as he began to sense for any signs of abnormal chakra around him.

Sensing for a few minutes, he found an abnormal amount of nature chakra being gathered and absorbed at one location. Sensing the abnormality, Arata quickly moved towards the location. A few minutes later, he arrived at where the nature chakra was being absorbed which was a cave. He saw that the cave was not naturally formed and seems to be like it was man-made using physical power.

Arata enters the cave as he kept his guard up in case he gets attacked out of nowhere. It continued walking until he heard a loud scream which caused him to frown as he rushed forwards. Moving deeper into the cave, he saw a gate with strong metal bars embedded into the walls forcefully and a person a little older than him on the ground, grabbing his head and breathing hard.

Once the person saw Arata, he screamed out, " G... GET AWAY!! I- I can't control myself."

Arata did not listen to the person. Looking at the person, he fit the description of the scroll and continued to observed. He saw a strange mark started to form on him. As that mark continued to grow and consume the person in front of him, he started to breathe harder and showed signs of extreme aggression. With the person's last outburst, he smiled at Arata and then half of his body began to transform really quickly and grew in some kind of monstrous form. 'Haa' He punched forwards aiming at Arata as he quickly broke through the iron bars that didn't even manage to slow the punch down.

Arata quickly jumped back, easily dodging the attack. As he continued to look at the person's appearance, he thought of only one word, 'beast' and an uncontrollable angry one at that. However, he saw that the attacks were very straight-forwards and easy to read, so he side-stepped and continued to dodge the attacks.

With a punch that left him wide open, Arata gathered chakra lighting into his hands as he lightly touched him which caused the later to shake uncontrollably and finally falling unconscious onto the ground and transforming back into his regular form.

Before sending this person to Orochimaru, he wanted to understand him a little more. Since Orochimaru is ultimately a threat to the leaf village, he didn't want to send Orochimaru something that the leaf village couldn't handle. He quickly grabbed him and went to a nearby river and started to fish and eat. As the sun began to set, he looked to the side as he saw the person starting to wake up.

Waiting for a few seconds for the person to settle himself and said, " You, what is your name?"

Looking at the person a little younger than him and already knew that this person was stronger than him, if he was still alive and looked perfectly fine. " Jugo. My name is Jugo."

Arata nodded as he noticed his reaction. " Well, Jugo, do you care to explain yourself about why you act out like that? I noticed that you gathered and absorbed a large amount of nature energy."

Jugo looked at Arata quickly and in surprise, " Nature energy?! Is that what's happening to my body? I thought that it was just a rage that I had been born with and something that I can't control?"

Arata finally realized what was wrong and he also noticed his behavior. Since he sought to cage himself a cage, it seems like he doesn't want to hurt anyone around him but he couldn't control the rate of energy he absorbs and acts out in it. He continued, " I know someone who wants to meet you. It seems like he is interested in your body and wants to study it. Perhaps if you ask him to teach you how to control it or the rage that bursts out, then he may do so. However, let me say this, he is not a good person. At least for me, he is a greedy person who wants nothing but power and is sort of an enemy of mine."

Jugo thought for a moment as he raised his hands and looked at it. After a moment of silence and thinking, he looked at Arata and said, " It's- It's fine. I am also not a good person. With these hands, I have destroyed my own village and also harmed several innocent lives."

Arata nodded his head and continued, " If I ever find out that you turn your power against the leaf village, then I will not hold back next time and will kill you. If you understand this, then I will bring you to him tomorrow."

Jugo didn't hesitate and nodded his head as he understood. All he cared about right now was to learn how to control this power or at least get rid of it. If it comes to being killed because he used this power to continue to kill innocent lives then it was fine for him to be killed.

With saying what he wanted to say, the tense atmosphere quickly collapsed as he smiled and handed him a roasted fish which Jugo took the fish and started eating. After that, not much words were exchanged as they were still strangers to one another and slept as night came.

The next morning, the two got up and quickly made way to Orochimaru's base. Rushing to the base, it only took them until evening until the two arrived at the entrance and quickly made way to Orochimaru. Since, Arata didn't notice the 5 sound ninjas, he assumed that they were still out on the mission that Orochimaru had given them.

Arata: " Orochimaru, I brought him."

Orochimaru smiled and walked to Jugo and began to observe his body. He smiled and said, " interesting."

Jugo: " I was told that you may have wanted to study my body. If you can... please can you help me control it or take away my ability to absorb nature energy?"

Orochimaru smiled and was a little stun as Jugo already knew what was wrong with his body. He then took a glance at Arata and understood that the boy was an extremely talented person and must've figured it out somehow. " I'm indeed interested in your body, I will have to study it fully to be able to understand how it works and how to help you control the nature energy before even attempting to take it away."

Jugo's body slightly trembled as he grew a little excited. Just the thought of his body being in fully control was something that he wished for severely.

Arata interrupted, " I'll be taking my clans things now."

Orochimaru smiled cunningly and told Kabuto to gather all of the things related to the Uzumaki clan. After a few minutes, Kabuto entered the room with a large sack behind him and handed it to Arata.

Arata took the bag and quickly scanned through the things to make sure it was everything. Just as he was about to leave, he felt some small form of killing intent and smiled as he looked at them. " Before I go, I will give you one warning."

Orochimaru and Kabuto narrowed their eyes as they prepared for combat. Arata activated his rinnegan and held up his palm, " If you attack the leaf village in any way. I will come back and kill you all immediately." 'Almighty Push'

As Orochimaru saw those eyes, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. ' The Rinnegan?! How could he possess those eyes. I can't let him leave. I want those eyes. I must study them and learn of it's power.' However, before he could do anything, he felt a powerful forcing pushing his body backwards at tremendous force that sent him flying. ' Such power' was the only thought that went through his mind as greed filled his eyes. Futhermore, the push caught him off guard and he couldn't gather enough chakra to his feet to keep him centered on the ground.

The whole area in front of Arata was demolished from his 'Almighty Push'. Looking at the destruction in front of him, Arata smiled at his power. He believed that if he used more chakra, then he could've destroyed this entire base if he wanted to, but knew that it would've taken a lot of chakra with his current reserves. Although he knew that if he revealed his eyes to the greedy person in front of him, he felt like he needed to do something to them in order to warn them of his power that may or may not threaten them to the extent of deterring Orochimaru for getting any ideas about killing him before he left, since he felt the slight amount of killing intent.

Arata walked out at a steady pace while the others was still trying to recover from the damage.
