"And thank you for today!"
I said goodbye to the gramps and grandma's of the day care I was assigned.
"You did good Yuki-kun."
Over the months every mission I had was related to Orphans, Old People, Homeless people, sick people, basically people who couldn't take care of themselves.
At first it was annoying and was reluctant since I knew what the Hokage was doing, but when I looked at them overtime, I had to ask myself.
'Would Mother want this to happen?'
I don't know, she never expanded on what she meant by 'Peace' but I do know and remember she said to be good and do good.
So I'll do anything to let her feel and know what I'm doing is good, though its shallow maybe in the future she'll tell me everything so as much as I'm reluctant now, if it makes mother happy and allows me to survive I'll do it.
And at the same time, I still won't compromise my belief that my family had to come first above all else, that's my only rule.
As we were walking after finishing the task for half the day an ANBU appeared in front of us.
"You're being summoned by the Hokage."
Yamato nodded.
"Let's go Yuki."
He then left but I caught up with him, truth be told I haven't unlocked the ability to teleport myself to random dimensions but I did have practice on teleporting a few distances but I have to refrain for now.
When we arrived there the Old man had a sad face or was it just because of his wrinkles? I could care less, but the fact I saw Pakkun there tell's me one thing.
"Pakkun, tell them the situation."
"You see."
Pakkun then describes the current situation of Team 7, Their escort mission had gone awry, the client had lied an in fact it was now upgraded to an A-Rank mission from a C-Rank mission, I tried to suppress my smile.
After Pakkun had finished briefing everything the Hokage then looked at us.
"Yuki, I already know of your talent, at a tender age of 12 you can rival Kakashi already, but that is without his sharingan, in terms of talent I cannot gauge it properly since we are no longer at war but truth be told I'd say you're on par with Itachi."
I nodded and didn't say anything as I continued to listen to his mumbling, if I could and go all out I'd bust the assess of the Jonins here as for Kage level, though I'm probably powerful what I lack is combat experience.
They have experience, while I do too but only a little, if it were to come down to a life and death battle, who knows what Jutsu or what they would do so I'm not confident in taking Kage level people, yet.
"And with Yamato's positive evaluation of you, I'm giving this mission to the two of you, support Team 7 with all you got."
"We understand Hokage-sama!"
I said, without saying a word Pakkun jumped towards my head as he would usually do since we had already interacted a lot of times, he's like my dog and I ask Kakashi to summon him a lot when I was a child.
"You'll show us the way right?"
"Yes, and please hold me gently."
"Alright."
I carried him on my shoulders as I bowed in front of the Hokage and left, I waited at the entrance of the Hokage's Office as I know Yamato and the Hokage would have lots to talk about.
This is my chance to test a theory.
The thing that I came up, while Yagura would still die, and I won't stop it from happening, what if I got to him and steal the majority of Isobu's essence for myself?
I'd absorb majority of his chakra and let Akatsuki take what remains, basically the plan is to steal and divide the tailed beasts chakra with the Akatsuki, I wonder if that would weaken mother's counterpart when she will revive?
It's a plan I'm willing to risk and do, and right now is the best opportunity to test it out, and if it turns out I'm right Mother would be able to absorb her counterpart perfectly, and if it doesn't I still get to take the chakra for myself.
'It's a win-win situation no matter what.'
"Yuki."
"Yeah?"
"How fast can you travel, alone."
"If I give it my all probably a day non stop."
"Let's go, go and leave a clone, I have a bad feeling."
"But that would result me into having a bad repuation, besides I refuse to believe Yamato-Sensei is slow."
"Fine."
Shortly Yamato arrived, we nodded and directly left, it took us a day and a half non-stop with Pakkun's guidance, I was fast and Yamato was trying hard to catch up to me, when we arrived at the hut it was already night time.
"They're inside, my job is done."
Pakkun was immediately gone, when we arrive they were either tired, now's my chance.
"Naruto!"
"Huh? Yuki! I'm glad you're here!"
'Tsukuyomi!'
Naruto was instantly knocked out, I carried him towards the bed, I made sure to give him a nice dream, shortly after it was Sasuke who was recovering, I tapped his shoulder and when his eyes met mine.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Now onto the next one, I looked for Sakura who was reading something when our eyes met, I immediately casted it and she fell asleep, now for the hard part.
"Onii-san!"
I called out Kakashi who was recovering in the room.
"You're finally here."
"Mm!"
When our eyes met I immediately casted it, he didn't know what hit him as he immediately fell asleep, since I was the first one to arrive when Yamato came inside the house.
"It's too silent."
He arrived and found that everyone was sleeping and no one was watching guard, something was amiss, when I returned to him our eyes met.
'Tsukuyomi!'
I caught him as he fell down, good, I doubt any of them can break it and feel that something is amiss, this is not an ordinary Tsukuyomi if I have to say since this is the power of the Rinne-Sharingan after all.
I then tried to find the old man and his family and did the same, I then left a clone to guard the house just in case since they're all defenseless.
'Time to search them!'
-
After almost half an hour of searching I found two signatures, when I opened the door to the small hut, Haku was startled.
Zabuza was already conscious but he stopped Haku from doing anything.
"A kid that can sense us is someone who's not to be underestimated, speak, what do you want."
"I have a deal."
"On what grounds do you think you can make a deal with us? even though I'm injured I can still kill you!"
Zabuza was bloodthirsty as Haku was getting ready.
"I can offer you two things, One, Gato's wealth, two the death of the Mizukage!"
"Pathetic! What makes you think you can pull that kind of stunt! if you say another word I'l-"
'Tsukuyomi!'
After ten seconds I let them go as I sat in front of them, the two of them were sweating bullets, now they were afraid of me.
"What makes you sure."
Zabuza asked as he gasped for air, he looked at the ground right now afraid to look at my eyes again.
"Because I'll be the one moving."
"You? You're the support they called for right?"
"Yes, and currently they're all knocked out, if I can knock you out that also means I knocked them out."
"What do you want then."
Zabuza was the one who was doing the speaking as Haku hid behind him, clearly now afraid of me.
"Since I'm offering you two things, I also want two things in return, One, is your undying loyalty, two, I want to see his entire arsenal."
I pointed at Haku who was startled and looked combat ready again, Zabuza scoffed, but now.
"Then how do you propose we do things?"
"I'll knock everyone out, and, this is a weird request, but leave one person behind, make sure its a criminal."
"Why? everyone under Gato who do the dirty work are thugs and criminals."
"I- I want to learn how to kill, please understand my difficulty."
Zabuza looked at me with surprise but he nodded, perhaps he too understood that it wasn't like before for this generation compared to his.
"Alright, so we'll kill everyone you knock out and save one for you to kill?"
"Yes, sooner or later I have to kill in my missions and this is a first for me and I need time to process it."
"I understand, but about the Mizukage, I still find it hard to believe."
"After we're done with Gato tonight, you two leave a note here and tell me where you'll be hiding, after a week I'll meet you again and this time, you take me to the mist."
"But you're a Genin."
"I'll find a way."
"Fine."
Zabuza who is slightly injured took his sword, Haku who was behind him held him up, he didn't say anything through out the entire exchange.
"Lead the way then."
"All I got to do is just slash down their heads right?"
"Yes."
"Let's go."
Zabuza nodded and went outside as Haku let go of him, he was still limping, but this is the best chance to gain a guide in the Mist as well as loyal subordinates.
