The True perpetrator

The three shinobis who were kneeling in front of Mito found themselves in a corner. At that point, one of them opened his mouth, "The Raikage! It was the Raikage who ordered us to kill Senju Ramatsu after one of his sources found out his location."

At that moment, Mito turned towards Araki while telling him in a kind tone, "This is how you do it."

"Okay, grandma," Araki said absent-mindedly as he stepped forward to get near to Mito.

He passed by Hiruzen who was standing there as if he was a statue. There was no change in his expression. The only thing he hoped was for Uzumaki Mito to calm down after this.

After Araki looked at them closely, he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. Closing his eyes, he saw the same scene of his father, laying down in a pool of blood with three swords embedded in his body.

When he next opened his eyes, there was a determined look in them. He looked at Mito and asked her with an emotionless voice, "Grandma, do you have some knife or dagger?"

Mito's eyes widened slightly when she heard this from Araki. She immediately crouched down and asked him, "Are you sure you want to do this? You can't go back after stepping on this…"

"I will kill them! I will destroy the Raikage!" His words leaked with a determined and vigorous voice which shocked the Third Hokage and Mito.

Mito asked in a somewhat worried tone, "Are you sure you want to do this? That would make you the enemy of the entire Kumo!"

"Hmph… I will give the Kumo Shinobis a chance to run away from that Kumo. I will definitely destroy Raikage, any person who comes in between will be killed! No matter who it is!" He said it with a bloodthirsty tone that it shocked Hiruzen.

At that moment, Hiruzen stepped forward, saying with a rather calming tone, "Don't let hate cloud your vision-"

"Shut it!" Araki glared at Hiruzen from the corner of his eyes.

If Tobirama was here and he had seen that glare, he would have compared it to Hashirama's glare when Tobirama was about to kill Madara!

It sent chills down the Hokage's spine! That glare looked like it could kill!

The three Shinobis felt regretful of why they hadn't searched for this boy and killed him. Why did they need to recover their injuries before deciding to find the boy? They should have immediately killed him!

Now, they confirmed a threat to the entire Kumo village.

"Grandma, I am still waiting. Aren't you going to give me the dagger or is it because you don't have one right now? I can fetch it from my room." He said with a frowning face. Wondering why his grandma didn't give it to him till now.

Mito let out a sigh and says, "Alright, since you want to take your revenge. I can't stop you." She sent a slight chakra in her arm, and a cloud of smoke appeared above her hand.

To Araki, it was like a dagger had magically appeared in his grandma's hands. He didn't care much about how it appeared and just proceed to walk towards the Shinobis.

"P-Please don't kill us!" One of these three shouted out in fright. Possibly planning to make use of a child's kindness.

However, it was unfortunate for them that they weren't going to receive any kindness from this child in front of them.

Not even hesitating for a single second, Araki raised his arm and brought it down on his chest.

However, even though Araki was using all his strength, the dagger wouldn't move passed a few centimetres of the rib bone. Possibly because of his low strength.

Even though the man who was stabbed was feeling great pain, he still put on a smile on his face before saying, "You… You can't… even… kill me…"

These words seemed to start another spark. Once again, Araki's Chakra seemed to have exploded at that moment. He experienced a sudden boost in his strength, and the dagger went past the man's bones as if it was butter.

The other two shinobis muttered, "stupid" in a low voice.

The man who had been stabbed by Araki soon died after that.

Araki then turned towards the other two shinobis. He decided to kill these two as well. Unlike the first one, he killed the second one by stabbing his neck.

Meanwhile, when Araki was thinking of killing the third one. He felt a branch touching his skin. He lowered his face and wondered what it was.

He was a little surprise to see a plant growing at a rapid rate. Its speed was utterly different from how it was in the past.

Araki tried to shake this plant which was growing at a rapid rate. He didn't know how much chakra it was consuming for its growth, but he didn't care.

When he saw the branch move at his thought, he smiled a little—a seriously bloodthirsty smile which scared that shinobi.

"Maybe it's better to let it taste some blood as well." The vines of the plant moved at his command. It covered the shinobi's whole body and continued to make the vines tighten.

He wasn't really proficient in controlling them as it did take him some time. But with a stationary shinobi as his opponent, it didn't matter. A good practice target he was.

Soon enough, the third shinobi felt that the blood had stopped flowing in multiple parts of his body. It wasn't moving from his veins.

However, the vines around him continued to tighten. Soon enough, he felt that some of his veins had broken. Internal bleeding was occurring in all parts of his body.

Some blood started flowing from his nose, his mouth….

It didn't take him 10 minutes to die.

The Bloodthirsty smile on Araki's face didn't disappear. He seemed really happy by killing these three. However, his revenge wasn't over by any means. The Third Raikage was living a seemingly good life. It would be unfair for the true perpetrator to live such a good life.
