Ch 16 : Aftermath

The very next day, Chisaki didn't go to school.

He locked himself in his father's room, crying until all his tears were dried out.

Konan tried to knock on his door and called him, but it was all useless.

Chisaki, at this moment had lost too much, and he wouldn't be able to recover just with some words or calling.

The house's atmosphere was really dark as Chisaki's father had just passed away, and Chisaki became like this, but then, a not unfamiliar figure appeared.

" That brat, is he still locking himself?"

" Third Kazekage-Sama!!"

Yup, it was none other than the Third Kazekage.

Konan shook her eyes in disbelief when she saw this. She indeed has heard from Chisaki that the Third Kazekage had decided to train him, but Konan never thought that the relationship between the two was this close.

For the Third Kazekage to come himself to their humble abode, this could only be attributed to the closeness between Chisaki and the Third kazekage.

" Hoo.. aren't you, Konan? Chisaki had told me a lot about you!"

Said the Third Kazekage as he observed Konan.

He was very clear about Konan's background, an Ame orphan who was adopted by Chisaki's father when she was a kid.

Konan's talent was very good, but the fact that she was not Suna born had made the Third Kazekage hesitate a bit whether to place Suna'd future on her. But after seeing her like this, it seemed that as long as Chisaki didn't betray Suna, Konan would be in a package with him.

" Ah... that.."

Konan was a bit flustered when Third Kazekage said it like that. She didn't know what Chisaki said about her, and it made her embarrassed. However, her mood quickly went down again when she remembered that Chisaki was still locking himself up in his room..

" *Sigh* It's that kid, right? You don't need to be that down. I'll be knocking some sense to that kid!"

The third Kazekage then left toward the direction of the room where Chisaki locked himself.

Konan was confused about what he was going to do, but the next moment, she felt very terrified.

" Little kid, come out, or I will come for you!"

When the Third Kazekage said he would knock some sense toward Chisaki, he really meant it.

With his iron sand, he broke Chisaki's locked door and forcefully breached through it.

Inside, he saw Chisaki was lying on the ground, with dead eyes as if he was tired of everything.

The third Kazekage saw this and sighed.

Because Chisaki had always acted a lot more mature than his age, the third Kazekage often forgot that he was just a child, and only by seeing Chisaki like this that the Third Kazekage realize Chisaki was not that much different from kids his age.

However, did it give the reason for the Third Kazekage to be lenient to Chisaki?

Of course not!

They were living in the harsh ninja world, and if Chisaki couldn't go through this, then he was unqualified to be a ninja.

With a few steps, the Third Kazekage went toward Chisaki, who looked back at him with lazy eyes.

Seeing this scene, people would think that the Third Kazekage went to console Chisaki, but they would certainly be surprised if they were to witness the next scene.

When the Third Kazekage arrived right in front of Chisaki, he didn't offer any consolation words or even patted him up, instead without any single hesitation on it, the Third Kazekage kicked Chisaki away and blasted him through the wall of the house.

' NANII!!!???'

Konan, who saw this scene with her own eyes, couldn't believe what she just seen.

What was this bastard of Kazekage thinking? Was he here just to roughen the situation?

Konan was about to rush and pounced madly ad the Third Kazekage.

She was weak, but if it was for Chisaki, then she would do anything.

But just before she was able to reach the Third Kazekage, irons sands held her up and immobilize her.

" Stay out of this, Konan! This is my business with this little kid. When the student has led astray, then it is the duty of the teacher to correct him up!"

" But-"

" No buts, this is a matter between men, Konan!"

At the end of the day, Konan could only grit her teeth as she could only believe the Third Kazekage's words.

She just hoped that the Third Kazekage could really straighten Chisaki, and this would not be counterproductive to him.

Chisaki, who was blown away, quickly woke up. He stood up and looked at the Third Kazekage with the "are you kidding me" look. However, the Third Kazekage was very far from over.

He blinked, and with sunshin no jutsu, he appeared right in front of Chisaki once more.

BAMMM!!!

A punch was launched at Chisaki's abdomen.

" Is this it, Chisaki? I never remember you are this weak!"

" Bastard. do you have no-

" No conscience, no heart, whatever! Just call me whatever if it makes you happy, but do you think you being like this would make your late father happy?"

BAMM!!!!

Another punch was launched, and this time Chisaki was pummelled at the ground.

But even after this, the Third Kazekage didn't let go of his hand.

He continued pummelling Chisaki while lecturing him.

During the two years, the Third Kazekage has gotten to know how hard-headed Chisaki was, and if he didn't use such a rough way like this, his words definitely wouldn't get to Chisaki's mind.

" I always think that you will be one that guides Suna in the future, Chisaki, but it seems I was wrong!!"

BAMMM!!!

" I still remember during our training, no matter how many times I crush you down or put you down to the ground, you always stand up no matter what!"

BAMMM!!!!

" But then, what is this, Chisaki? Staying in your room with dead eyes, this is not the Chisaki that I know!"

BAMMM!!!!

Countless beatings went into Chisaki's head, and even Chisaki, who was lifeless now began to sober up.

He looked at the Third Kazekage with rage, guilt, regret, craze, and anger mixed up into one.

" What the heck, old man, what do you know about this? Have you ever known the feel of losing your only relatives?"

BOMMM!!!!

Unconsciously, Chisaki began to activate the power of overhaul.

Purple aura began to gather around him as everything around him being disintegrated. The Third Kazekage saw this and felt danger, but even in the presence of danger, he didn't back off.

If he didn't at least sober up Chisaki right now, then this little kid would fall into the darkness.

A fist came before Chisaki could finish his words.

" Don't be naive, Chisaki. We live in a world where war and murder are a daily occurrence! I mourn your loss, but would it give me a reason to be lenient on you? Of course not, and I know your late father would think the same!"

" A giant wall stand between your eyes and the world. You can't see the way forward right now as regret and guilt were consuming you.."

" It might be painful for you, but fight!!! Don't dwell on that loss. What gone is gone forever, but try to remember what you still have!"

BAMMM!!!!

And along with that words, the Third Kazekage delivered a final blow at Chisaki's abdomen, knocking him high into the air.

" I don't know if my words have knocked some sense into you, but that's all I got to say. If you are still a man, tomorrow comes to my office. I have a special arrangement for you.

Remember Chisaki, Some times, if even after we tried our best we still couldn't change the situation, then it means that the situation had come to change us!"
