A Glimpse

Just before the claw pierces me, the Inuzuka and his Inu drop down on the soldier, pushing their claws through the soldiers head, cracking the skull, piercing their brain causing an almost instantaneous death.

" Thank you Inuzuka-san " I thank,

" No worries, Hyuga-san, you can call me Zabara, if you like "

" Then you can call me Gindō, but really thank you for your help there. "

" No worries man "

We continue talking strangely surrounded by blood and the two bodies, which when the aburame girls arrive, they stare very obviously questioning this…. Scenario.

Inuzu- I mean 'Zabara' says " Uh th- they were spies that we killed "

To which one of the aburame giggles saying " We understand, it's just the friendly atmosphere is stange Inuzuka-chan. "

Wait, aburame can have emotions…. Hmm.

Anyway, after Zabara blushed up a storm, we spoke for a bit while I gathered their bodies, before the Heien couple came running over, then heading back.

When we came past the base walls we immediately went directly to the General to give information on what had arisen and how to move from this.

We stopped at the receptionist giving our information like names and department, then spoke briefly about what had happened, showing that we desperately needed the General.

"I-I understand let me get her prepared" she then got to her feet and almost ran to the door explaining that the scouts sent out recently have a discovery.

"Send them in then" the General said, almost seeming desperate, strange.

Then we entered a spacious room with the General at a desk with a few papers to the side and what appeared to be a Heien clan symbol.

'WAIT, the General is Heien…. No wonder she encouraged me to take the two Heien's in, it was because she needed a reason to include her clan, I do not enjoy this manipulation, I may respect her but that is not enough to ignore this kind of behaviour' While thinking this a glare exited my eyes only to disappear when I noticed a split second later, the General noticed, giving a grin, likely realising why.

Then as the one who originally encountered the sand soldiers I state "General-sama we have come to report that soldiers from the land of wind have appeared on our borders, both with a sand kekkei genkai, we have also brought their bodies back for study and possibly recreating their abilities with their bodies"

Kekkei Genkai are an ability passed down in a clan or simply a bloodline, like my Byakugan and the Heien dojutsu.

She begins to frown knowing the meaning of the first half, but then both disgusted and …. Proud? At my second statement, I assume the first reaction is due to the likely war coming, and the second two because one I am implying the desecration of bodies, while also proud because I have come up with something unexpected or unusual.

This is when she replies "get someone who understands Earth ninshu or some new Earth ninjutsu to make a room quickly for those bodies to be kept, then someone else, preferably people directly included to write a report."

With that Zabara goes to sort out the bodies thanks to his affinity with earth and the rest exit, with me going to my dorm to use some parchment paper and a quill to write a report.

(This is a scene of the future)

A black figure comes forward in a battlefield, two shining blue eyes and a horn curved from the right side of its head to the left.

"Father, don't you find it pointless to fight these humans, in all my 800 years of life, maybe more I have not seen many more needless tasks, they are weak."

This man… Isshiki looks towards his bastard son, who he loathes, but has not the strength to defeat him.

"You obviously both misunderstand me and believe to little in these humans, do you not remember their ability against kaguya, a goddess in strength"

"Don't make me laugh, that woman had no real fighting ability, just a husk with power…. While you, although not the most powerful, do have fighting prowess surpassing these fools, haaaah I will leave you be though, I might even help the humans with some…. Boosts"

This terrifies Isshiki although he will never show it to that half breed, he still sorely regrets ever letting him live or even the notion of his existence.

Then his son disappears with a blue bolt of lightning replacing him.

Isshiki then turns to Kawaki the boy he was raising to be his vessel and was on the ground heavily breathing, this angers him thanks to his interaction with his bastard son previously, causing him to lash out and break a nearby wall.

'Maybe I should give up on the God tree… NO NO NO I NEED IT, I must put that brat in place and consume this world to strike back at the main clan. They threw me away, and around even though I was one of…. no their biggest asset. I will kill them all.'

He then calms down picking up Kawaki and throwing him into a vat filled with chakra to heal him, he then pulls up an image of a fruit resembling an apple with symbols reminiscent of Ichibi's pattern.

'And this is how I will get more power.'
