Chap 17 - A Little Visit in Konoha. (2)

Ryuuji let Kushina stay in his embrace as he smiled at his red-haired cousin. Ignoring Shimura Danzo's cries of pain and the surprised expression of those present, Ryuuji started talking to his beloved cousin.

" I wasn't late, so why the first thing you do when you see me is complain? "

Kushina pouted and buried her face in Ryuuji's chest, not letting her cousin see the beautiful smile on her face.

Without saying anything, Ryuuji held up two fingers in a pinching motion and in the next instant, the man with the dog-masked appeared beside Ryuuji.

Everyone in the room let out a sigh as they saw Sakumo Hatake's familiar white blade stopped with a simple flick of Ryuuji's fingers.

Ryuuji looked at the masked man and pressed the Hatake family's legendary blade a little harder, turning the world-famous pure Chakra Metal weapon into nothing but shards.

" I-Impossible! "

Hiruzen was in shock.

Who is Sakumo Hatake? A rising star of the Ninja World and someone that Hiruzen was pretty sure was already at Kage-Level relying on his swordsmanship alone.

To put a nail in the coffin, Ryuuji quickly moved his hand and flicked Sakumo's forehead.

The white-haired masked man was flung away like a cannonball, creating a passage of holes through the walls of the Senju Clan.

After dealing with Sakumo, Ryuuji let his killing intent run wild, freezing those present in place.

Ryuuji slowly looked at Mito, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Danzo and Hiruzen. Seeing the three future Sannins, Ryuuji felt a pang of disappointment as he wondered if this was what it felt like to be the only one honored between heaven and earth.

" Anyone else want to interrupt my beautiful reunion with my beautiful cousin? "

Hiruzen blasted his chakra and roared angrily at the child who invaded his village:

" Ryuuji Uzumaki! Do you think this is a place where you can come in and do whatever you want?! This is Konohagakure, who do you think you are?! "

Ryuuji smiled mockingly and replied:

" I am the Patriarch of the Uzumaki Clan, leader of Uzushiogakure and Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools…I came here to rescue my clan member who was kidnapped by you bunch of scum. "

Danzo smiled arrogantly and said something he really shouldn't say:

" What's the use of so many titles now that Uzushiogakure has been destroyed and you've fled like a rat from the battlefield?? "

Silence reigned in the place. Hiruzen to his longtime friend and widened his eyes. In the next moment, an angry voice rang out from the place.

" Hiruzen! Danzo! I hope you can give me an explanation!! "

Hiruzen let out a sigh and tried to lighten the situation with his mask of wisdom.

" Mito-sama…this is all for Konoha. I hope you understand. Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sensei would do the same. "

The old woman of the Uzumaki Clan exploded with silent anger, but as the Kyuubi was taking advantage of the woman's weakness to continue forcing her chakra with the seal, Mito needed to calm her heart and control the Bijuu inside her.

Tsunade ran in front of her teacher and grabbed his collar.

" Old Man! You better give me an explanation!! "

A group of ANBU appeared and grabbed Tsunade, dragging her away from the Hokage. Hiruzen scowled at Tsunade and yelled at her, trying to impose his leader presence:

" Tsunade, pull yourself together! Did you forget you're a Konoha Kunoichi?! We must deal with the enemy that is in front of us and not show this kind of weakness! "

Tsunade huffed and got out of the grip of the ANBUs who were trying to hold her.

" Old man, I mean it when I say you better give me an explanation after this shit situation is over. "

Ryuuji and Kushina just watched all of this with a silly smile on their faces.

Ryuuji let out a sigh of sadness and spoke in a mocking tone:

" Is the show over? I was having a lot of fun with these internal fighting…why not continue? "

Danzo growled in anger.

" ROOT! "

Everyone was already expecting the arrival of several ROOT shinobi, but none of that happened.

Ryuuji gave a natural laugh and waved his hand in a apologetic motion.

" You know…I was very angry at Konoha's audacity in literally kidnapping my cousin, so I assuaged that irritation by turning one hundred and fifty four members of ROOT into corpses. I also covered the Senju Clan Mansion with a barrier so we won't be interrupted. I hope you don't mind. "

Danzo froze upon hearing Ryuuji's words. Was all his years work destroyed without him even knowing? All destroyed by this damn brat in front of him?

As Danzo froze, Hiruzen felt endless anger welling up in his heart upon realizing that Konoha's sovereignty meant nothing to the child in front of him but he still kept his sanity as he tried to remedy the situation.

" Ryuuji Uzumaki! Do you want to start a war? Kushina Uzumaki was the price Ashina Uzumaki paid for Uzushiogakure's protection! Do you want to break the deal and start a war? "

" I don't care about any of that. I am stronger than all of you and Uzushiogakure is not afraid of Konoha. Why should I worry about whether or not to start a war? "

Hiruzen put on his peaceful old man facade and let out a sigh.

" You're young, so it's okay to let hot blood guide your opinions. You don't know how much pain a war will bring to our countries. How about this, I will forget your actions and you will let Kushina remain a citizen of Konoha. "

Ryuuji looked at Hiruzen as if he was crazy before starting to laugh. He just couldn't control the urge to laugh.

In the small hall inside the Senju Clan, only Ryuuji's amused laughter sounded. Hiruzen's face darkened and he made a hand motion.

Orochimaru, who was not yet a mad scientist thinking about eternal life, heeded his Sensei's order and attacked Ryuuji.

Two hands sprouted from behind Ryuuji's leg and grabbed him, but he didn't care because the snake man couldn't do anything against him.

Jiraiya let out a sigh. He preferred to ignore all political confusion and just obey his Sensei's order. The white haired man moved and attacked Ryuuji with his mane-shaped hair.

Ryuuji moved before the white hair caught his body and appeared in front of Jiraiya.

" You'd better have stayed put, now I need to teach you a lesson. "

Ryuuji's eyes glowed gold and a beam of golden light passed over Jiraiya.

The perverted man smiled:

" Are you blind, boy? "

Before Jiraiya attack Ryuuji again, the redhead just pointed his finger at Jiraiya's head. The pervert ran a hand through his hair and his face went pale.

" M-My h-hair?! "

Ryuuji simply attacked to hit where it would hurt the most on Jiraiya, creating a thick band of baldness on top of his head. Jiraiya was shocked by the situation and spent a few moments trying to process what was happening.

Not satisfied yet, Ryuuji quickly punched forward, hitting Jiraiya's face and thus breaking his nose and all the teeth in his mouth.

The white-haired pervert flew away, but that didn't interfere with the actions of the other shinobi present.

Hiruzen moved at full speed and appeared behind Ryuuji but before he could attack the redhead, his instinct screamed for him to get out of there.

Unfortunately for the Third Hokage, Ryuuji didn't miss out on good opportunities.

In the next instant, a golden chain sprouted from Ryuuji's back and pierced Hiruzen in the abdomen, continuing its course until nailing the man to a wall. With a snap of its fingers, the golden chain changed its shape, pinning Hiruzen to the wall and blocking all his body's movement.

Before Ryuuji could make another move, the ground in front of him cracked and Orochimaru burst out of the hole as he opened his mouth. A sword traveled across its elastic throat and flew towards Ryuuji's eye.

Danzo's eyes widened when he saw that Ryuuji was going to die. Mito made a worried face and tried to move to help her grandson, but her internal struggle against the Kyuubi kept preventing her from taking action and Kushina just stood still, still in Ryuuji's embrace fully trusting her cousin.

Tsunade closed her eyes and didn't react, not knowing what to do in this situation where her family and her village were fighting each other.

Unfortunately for the Konoha members, Kushina's confidence was not unfounded.

When Orochimaru's 'Kusanagi no Tsurugi' touched Ryuuji's eyes the unthinkable happened.

The legendary sword, upon touching Ryuuji's eye, shattered as if it were made of glass.

Giving no chance for people to be surprised, Ryuuji's eyes glowed gold again and a beam of light flew towards Orochimaru, at a much slower speed than the beam that hit Jiraiya's scalp earlier.

Because of the slow speed, the future Snake Sannin relied on his experience and instincts to slightly move his body to the side and thus, Ryuuji's attack only left a large scar on the side of his face.

Ryuuji smiled and moved his free arm, grabbing the snake man by the neck.

" You're too weak…it's not even fun to fight a normal person like you. "

The next moment, Ryuuji slapped Orochimaru across the face and sent him flying away. Ryuuji knew that this humiliation would make Orochimaru begin his never-ending quest for power and immortality sooner.

The redhead was really curious to know what Orochimaru would do. In his mind, Ryuuji always thought of Orochimaru's talent as the greatest of the original work.

His intelligence was something he highly valued, but unfortunately, Orochimaru was impossible to trust and Ryuuji had no methods to functionally control the snake.

" Let's see what surprises you can bring me. "

Ryuuji put thoughts of Orochimaru aside and looked at Danzo, who despite not being frozen anymore, was afraid to attack Ryuuji. Ryuuji patted Kushina on the back, sending her to Mito's side.

" You've always been a coward, haven't you? That's why you live hiding inside sewers and dark holes like a mouse. "

Danzo growled in anger, but his body was simply frozen, just like the day he lost his opportunity to become Hokage.

Ryuuji walked slowly towards Danzo, while his Solar Chakra began to cover his body, creating an increasing pressure with each step taken towards the one-eyed and one-armed man.

" Danzo…you know your time to suffer has come, right? "

The one-eyed man started backing away, his instincts screaming that he should run away from the boy walking towards him.

Unfortunately for him, there was nowhere to run.
