BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
As the sound of explosions got louder, Sasuke woke up from his beauty sleep.
Sasuke: What the fuck is going on? A guy can't sleep in peace even in jail? what has the world come to.
Katsuki: We have been trying to wake you up for a while.
Kaki: I think the castle is under attack.
Sasuke: WHAT? WAIT, MY AWESOME PLAN IS RUINED IF HIKARI LEFT DUE TO THIS ATTACK.
As he woke up the first thing he was worried about was his plan getting ruined.
Katsuki: You still haven't told us what your plan is.
Sasuke: My plan was to appear in a cool way and everyone would shit their pants and vomit.
Kaki: That doesn't sound like an awesome plan.
Katsuki: What kind of stupid plan is that?
Sasuke: No, I mean literally, I have been feeding them this slow acting poison, which isn't really a poison on its on but if mixed with certain other harmless poison together and continue to feed them then after a few days, everyone would suddenly get a serious stomach ache. They won't be able to hold in their shit and need to do it no matter what they are doing. Also, some people might vomit as well.
Katsuki: That was your awesome plan? to give your enemies diarrhoea?
Sasuke: It is not simple diarrhoea, no, it is more closer to food poisoning. I would then appear and everyone is fighting among themselves to go to the toilet. Even the shinobis and the samurais. Hikari would be either stuck in a toilet or would shit in her clothes. In such circumstances, where dignity is on the line even the shinobis can't perform their jobs. I mean, all the shinobis and samurais would be having a serious stomach ache, strong enough that it paralyses them. I would go to Hikari and she would be terrified seeing me and I would then kill her. The main point of the plan is for Hikari to go down in the history as the diamyo who died while shitting. My greatest revenge would be for Hikari to be remembered that way in History.
Kaki: Well, if you put it like that, it doesn't sound like a horrible plan.
Katsuki: Are you kidding me? You could have just used laxatives for that purpose. No need to mix harmless liquids that only become poison when mixed in certain quantities.
Sasuke: Hey, there was a chance that snake guy could detect even laxatives. This was an art that was precise. Now it is ruined, due to some fuckers.
Sasuke got off the ground on which he was sleeping and walked to the door.
Katsuki: What are you doing?
Sasuke: No point in hiding. I need to get to Hikari before she escapes. Well, knowing her, if she knew she could handle the attack then she will be calm and chilling but if she knew she can't, then she might be getting ready to escape. I have to catch her before she does that.
Kaki: She might have left already, the explosions were happening for a while and were far away. Only now they have gotten louder.
Sasuke: I hope she hasn't left.
He got close to the gate and kicked it. Without using more chakra than the civilian, his blow was strong enough for the gate to break open. He got out and started walking towards the exit. He noticed that the cell in which Hayami was is empty.
Sasuke: Where did she go?
Kaki: Some people came and took her. After that they came with her and I think they might have put her in a different cell. Also, I think she was screaming so they knocked her out.
Katsuki: Are you gonna free her?
Sasuke: Not for now. If an attack is happening, then the safest place would be here for her.
Sasuke then walked out. Due to the attack there were no guards.
...
As he got out, what appeared in his sight was the destruction, some buildings in the castle were on fire. While some have already been destroyed due to water or due to earth jutsu. He saw a building that has thorns of earth coming out of it. His first thought after seeing all this...
[Sasuke-inner-thought: WHAT THE FUCK IS MY CLONE DOING? WHY DID HE NOT CANCEL THE JUTSU?]
Right at that moment memories flooded his mind.
[Sasuke-inner-thought: WOW! MY CLONE KNOW NOTHING.]
CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG
Right at that moment, some samurais appeared who were in combat with some shinobis, a few meters to his right.
[Sasuke-inner-thought: Time for me to make my grand entrance BABY!]
[Katsuki Telepathy: Wait, are you an idiot? you wanna make yourself the target of every enemy?]
[Sasuke-inner-thought: SHUT UP! My plan was ruined but the cool entrance part, I am doing that no matter what. Also, I have become strong enough that I don't need to fear becoming a target. That is what 10 years of training have been for.]
[Kaki Telepathy: Go on Sasuke, a heroic man needs a heroic entry.]
[Katsuki Telepathy: I think this is a mistake. You should be careful and start sensing. You haven't even done that.]
[Sasuke-inner-thought: Oh please, I am really strong now. Also, If I start sensing then there won't be a surprise for me. I want to feel the thrill of facing unknown number of enemies.]
[Katsuki Telepathy: You are making a mistake you idiot.]
Sasuke disappeared from there without listening to his toad's advice.
...
Poof
Smoke appeared at the top of the castle roof and a melody started playing from a flute. For some reason, the melody was covering the sound of people fighting and everybody could hear it.
[Some Shinobi 1]: Hey, stop attacking for a moment. Who is playing this flute?
[His opponent Samurai]: I can't trust you so no.
CLANG, CLANG
[Some Shinobi 1]: I SAID STOP ATTACKING. Don't you hear the melody.
[His opponent Samurai]: Now that you say, who is the idiot playing this in the middle of a life or death battle.
Same is happening in other parts of the castle.
...
As the smoke cleared, a shinobi could be seen playing a flute. His eyes were closed but he was in his full battle gear. The gear was different from how the shinobis or samurai wore during this era, he had a demon mask on his face as well, with space between the teeth of the demon that shows his real mouth, basically the attire made him look cool. Also, his entrance, it was like he chose the perfect spot to appear and right behind him, a full moon could be seen as he is playing. All the parties fighting stopped and looked at this scene. Right at that moment, Sasuke stopped playing and got into sage mode. He started sensing.
[Sasuke-inner-thought: Now then, let's see how many idiots ruined my plan.]
As he started sensing, droplet of sweat appeared under his mask on his forehead.
[Sasuke-inner-thought: WHAT THE FUCK? 200...NO!.....300.....NO!!....400!!!...FUCKING 500!!!?.](Each exclamation mark denoting a larger shout by him inside his mind)
[Sasuke-inner-thought: ONLY MULTIPLE DIAMYOS CAN SEND SO MANY SHINOBIS. WHAT THE FUCK DID SHE DO TO PISS THEM OF? I MEAN SHE IS ALREADY AN ENEMY, BUT WHAT THE FUCK MADE THEM SO ANGRY TO SEND SO MANY SHINOBIS TO ATTACK? THERE WERE MORE SHINOBIS BUT SOME ARE ALREADY DEAD SO THE REAL NUMBER WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSER TO 600 OR 700 MAY BE.]
He forgot about the old diamyo's plan. Also, right now he was in the sights of everyone.
[Sasuke-inner-thought: FUCK! I MESSED UP.]
[Katsuki Telepathy: I TOLD YOU SO.]
[Kaki Telepathy: OH YEAH! FINALLY A BATTLE. I WAS GETTING BORED.]
...
[Some Shinobi 1]: Hey, that guy appeared while playing flute in this battlefield. I think he doesn't consider us a threat.
[Some Shinobi 2]: He is looking down on us?
[Some Shinobi 3]: He must be that snake summoning bastard. Let's take him out first.
Unfortunately for Sasuke, his act ended up angering a lot of shinobis. Some had their shinobi pride hurt, some mistook him for the snake sage and some were angry at being looked down upon.
...
A few minutes before, when the smoke appeared at the top of the roof of the castle and the flute sound started playing. Someone, who was hidden in the forest outside all the castle walls but was watching the battle in multiple places through snakes thought....
[Ryuga-inner-thought: Who is this idiot that appeared in the battle while playing a flute. Does this idiot knows that he is painting a target on his back.]
As soon as Sasuke got into sage mode, Ryuga had a shocked experssion.
[Ryuga-inner-thought: HE IS A SAGE!?]
When the smoke cleared and he saw Sasuke in his battle gear for the first time, his shock increased even further.
[Ryuga-inner-thought: NO WAY, THAT IS HIM. HE IS THE ONE DESTINED TO STAND IN HIKARI'S AND MY PATH. HE LOOKS JUST LIKE WHEN I SAW HIM IN MY DREAMS A FEW YEARS AGO. BUT I HAVE A FEELING HE IS YOUNGER.]
Ryuga was a really gifted sage. He sometimes could see dreams of his future. A few years ago, he dreamt that he will marry a beautiful women and help her in laying foundations for a great empire. He will help her in conquering 2 elemental lands and creating an empire. After his death, his children will continue on that task and after 2 more generations all the nations would be under one empire. He and Hikari would be remembered for ages as the mother and father of the empire. He left The Ryuichi cave to find Hikari and he did. As he started helping her, he saw more dreams. In one dream, he saw a shinobi wearing a demon mask, clad in all black, who would kill Hikari. In another, he saw himself die at the hands of the same shinobi. He saw a dream which shows what happens if he or Hikari or both are to die, they will be forgotten in the History as the future foretold of more wars and the new conquerers. From that point, he knew, he is destined to face this demon shinobi and it is his duty to kill him so that Hikari and he can create their empire and become immortal in the History. He hasn't had the dreams about this demon shinobi for months so he forgot about him.
[Ryuga-inner-thought: So that is why I was having this feeling for a few days that something really important is bound to happen. It was due to him.]
...
Sasuke was still sensing as the shinobis were getting closer to him.
[Sasuke-inner-thought: FUCK! THAT BITCH ISN'T HERE. SHE FLED.]
On the roof, 30 or so shinobis surrounded him from all sides.
Sasuke: You know, I am not in a good mood. So, if you guys want to live then leave me alone.
[Shinobi 1]: Hah, of course you won't be in a good mood. Our surprise attack succeeded and your castle is not gonna stand tomorrow. Where is Hikari? tell us and we might just give you a fast death.
[Shinobi 2]: And don't even think of summoning a snake or we will attack.
At this point, Sasuke was surprised.
Sasuke: Hah? summon snakes? are you guys thinking....Hey, let me be clear, I am not the snake summoner and I am definitely not on Hikari's side. Hell, I came here to kill her.
[Shinobi 1]: Is that so? why did you appear while playing a flute as if this castle is yours to guard and you don't consider us a threat?
[Shinobi 2]: Yeah, and your gear, it looks expensive. Only Hikari would have spent so much money on her strongest shinobi.
Sasuke: WHAT? Hey, I am not a snake summoner. The point of appearing that way was....was...was to....let's just say I made a mistake in that moment. Just know I am Hikari's enemy.
[Shinobi 1]: What kind of shinobi can make such an idiotic mistake?
[Shinobi 2]: HE IS LYING. EVERYBODY ATTACK!
[Sasuke-inner-thought: FUCK!]
Of course, Sasuke isn't afraid of them. He achieved quite a few results in the last 10 years training. He just didn't want to be bothered to fight all of them. He is quite strong now.
He proved his hypothesis that if he nourished his body with nature energy then his body will transform to that of a higher level. After each session, his body has improved, his chakra level increased, the ease of doing the change in nature of chakra and change in its form also increasing. The session duration for nourishment bath increases the more he does it. He uses the sealing jutsu to take in the nature energy and then sending it in concentrated form to his body. Using toad oil has helped in the process as well. He is not storing it, as that could kill him, he is making it flow in his body, in all his cells so that his body could adapt to it. The nature energy would leave without getting stored and that is why it is similar to bathing. After each session, he needs his body to adapt and the time for next session would increase as well. He has done 4 sessions now, his last session being done just 1 month before he left. His chakra reserves are really high. His current goal is to have as much chakra as 1 tail, he is estimating that he has about 50% of 1 tail chakra. Just an estimation or a hunch, but he definitely has more than your average kage.
His control over his main three elements of lightning, fire and wind is impeccable. He hasn't trained his earth or water that much but he is as good as an average shinobi.
[Sasuke-inner-thought: Now then, Hikari is not here so there is no point in staying here. But, I haven't been able to complete Flying Raijin Jutsu and my other tests regarding space-time teleportation although have given results but no result showed that It is safe for me to teleport. So, I can't just teleport out of here. Meaning, I have to face these idiots and more that come my way. Well, bad luck for them. Looks like I will be making a lot of women widows and a lot of children orphans tonight.]
[Katsuki Telepathy: GET READY THEY ARE ABOUT TO REACH YOU.]
[Kaki Telepathy: OH YEAH! I AM READY. SASUKE, ALLOW ME TO RUN WILD.]
...
[Ryuga-inner-thought: Now let's see how strong you are.]
If you like the story then give me power stones. It helps in motivating me. Also, write a good review and give a good rating as well. I see that many are reading and commenting on the chapters that they like the story but haven't left a good review on the novel itself or a good rating.
