Ichika: Zero Two

(First PoV)

After Reto and I returned to Suna, he stopped me in the office.

"Ichika, don't dare to overstep your boundaries. I am the Kazekage!"

"Kazekage-sama, if not for me, Suna would have been no more. If Hashirama can kill his best friend, Madara for peace of Konoha, we are just strangers.

Think before making unreasonable demands and beware of our strength. As long as Hashirama is alive, please don't provoke him. Suna is already the weakest village among the 5 as it is.

Well then, I am going to do my research on puppets."

I didn't pay him any heed, and went away, reverse summoning myself to the Klaxo Realm.

Reto's bodyguard, Shamon, and the canon Second Kazekage, was killed by me when Suna came to subdue my kingdom and force me to join the village. Afterall, he was a poison user, so I had to deal with him first.

So, Suna is already the weakest, with only two Kage level ninjas, me and Reto. And with the weakest tailed beast, Shukaku. And Reto dared to threaten others with war.

"102, spread the rumours about Reto's stupidity in the village."

The little Klaxo snake nodded, and left to do the job.

In the Klaxo Summoning Realm, I sighed as I walked towards my lab.

When I reincarnated, I essentially became Zero Two, who can use chakra too. And got Klaxo summoning.

In the summoning realm, everything is in ruins. I think that this realm is not on my planet itself.

There is lots of technology buried here, the whole of the world of Darling in the Franxx. Though, it doesn't mean that I can use it.

Most of the tech is destroyed, and I have been searching this planet my whole life for whatever I can salvage.

As of right now, I have gotten 25 Klaxosaurs and intact, out of which many were killed in the battle with Reto, and most of the ones that I have are the ones that I created myself, using Rymyaku's chakra and the corpse of Klaxosaur Princess. A seemingly immortal princess who was killed. Whose clone Zero Two was in the original series.

Well, I guess all of this can be called a cheat. Though I need to excavate a lot of stuff and reverse engineer the technology.

I sighed and watched how much the experiment has progressed.

My cells are a combination of Klaxosaur princess and a human's. And they are a lot adaptable to Ryumyaku's chakra. Must be because they are both from reptiles.

The experiment before me is a tail. It was just some cells and Ryumyaku's chakra put together, but in 3 months, it has grown into a black tail with neon blue patterns.

Well, given that majority of the cells are from Klaxosaur princess's tail/tentacle, I guess it is understandable.

I sighed and sat on a chair.

The little snake Klaxosaur that I left in Land of Fire to deliver a message to Tobirama has returned.

The message was simply that Madara is alive. By now he must have dig Madara's grave and found him missing.

As for why I informed him about it? It's simple.

When I completely take over the Land of Wind, the other Daimyos won't remain silent. The will fear that their own Shinobi Villages will take over their country.

And that will mean that the other Daimyos will issue mission against Land of Wind, and possibly war.

Well, if not that, they will atleast put sanctions. Land of Wind buys most of its food from Land of Fire.

I don't know how and when Hashirama will die, but Tobirama will be the most important Hokage, considering his students will remain in power for a long time.

And I don't really want to fight Konoha. Perhaps kidnap geniuses like Orochimaru as soon as he is born though. And conquering the neighbouring Land of Grass will be better for producing food.

Well, since I helped Tobirama via my 'prophetic ability' as the Queen of Roran, he should work to create a forest and big water body near Suna, and protect me from Reto's assassination.

I went out of my lab, and oversaw the Klaxosaurs drilling this most-likely planet to uncover more Klaxosaurs and find remains of Himan civilization.

I only discovered the Klaxosaur princess's corpse just some months ago, and used her DNA to enhance myself and becoming the master of all Klaxosaurs without needing to subdue them one by one and force them under summoning contract.

But by then, Reto had already become the Kazekage.

Though even now, Reto's poisonous scorpion is my weakness.

And I don't doubt that Reto has already started planning to assassinate me, who is a threat to his control over Suna.

I know some medical ninjutsu, but not enough to create antidotes of his poisons. That's why I also gave Tobirama a sample of his poison that I got when I fought Reto before joining Suna. To create an antidote.

It can be considered betrayal, giving away the secret of the village's Kage. But, Reto is simply a curse to Suna and its people.

As I was thinking about all this, the Klaxosaur that is drilling the planet hit something, and gave me a telepathic signal.

I took control over the Klaxosaur, and used other Klaxosaurs as well to dig the earth around the findings.

After a long process which took hours, I finally hit the jackpot.

The remains of a human plantation, along with Klaxosaur princess's main Klaxosaur, and Zero Two's mecha as well.

I entered the mecha, and actually found two bodies.

The parasite suits were intact, but the boy's body has already decomposed.

But the girl's body was different.

It was Zero Two's actual body, looking just like me!

What the hell!?

While it was dead due to lack of oxygen, her body hasn't decomposed.

Suddenly, my horns emitted lightning on their own and connected to Zero Two's.

I clutched my head as her memories flooded into me.

And, I finally realised just what has happened here.
