Chapter 67 - Land of Water? More like Land of Bloodlines... (2/2)
...
(Third Person POV)
In the engawa (Japanese style porch) of the Clan Head's mansion, a person -or what remained of it- could be seen... The lifeless body nailed to the wall by dozens of senbon...
There are clear signs of struggle... The cheeks slightly moistened, maybe by tears or just the night dew...
And many other characteristics best left to the imagination...
Right next to where the blood puddle stops its way through the wood... There's a kid of approximately 10-13 years old, sitting in a lotus position on the floor, who appears to be reading some old books and scrolls...
His eyes stand out in the dark... with a bloodshot color, along with strange markings on both of them...

The person nailed to the wall used to be the wife of the Clan Head. I had just tortured some information out of her.
I am currently studying some books about the Kaguya Clan's Kekkei Genkai: Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse).
It was an extremely rare and feared bloodline even within the clan itself. It was often regarded as the definitive Taijutsu Technique by many experts.
But of course, that was without considering Kaguya's Tomogoroshi no Haikotsu (Murderous Bone Ash) or the Eight Inner Gates Technique...
In any case, all of the clan's users of this Kekkei Genkai are out on a battlefield right now... Damn, talk about bad luck...
I wasn't able to find even a kid with the Kaguya bloodline in the Clan Compound...

-(1 hour later)-
...
After I memorized all the techniques and information of the Kaguya clan.
I made another check-up around the compound just to be sure, so as to not leave behind any loose end or the cliched 10-years-later-revenge kid...
Just as back then with the Sky Village... No survivors...
Just used my patented method of 'KILOBU', which stands for: Kill everyone, Loot anything of value and then Burn whatever's left.
...
By the way, the Sharingan is really useful. This photographic memory is one of the best abilities of the Sharingan. Even more so for someone like me.
I mean sure, I might learn stuff but like every other average human, I eventually start forgetting information... But if I see something with my Sharingan I will never forget it.
It makes learning things way easier.
I also looted 45.000.000 Ryo from the clan's vault. Now I have a total of 967.000.000 Ryo to my name.
Not bad for a kid huh?
*Poof*
I make 5 shadow clones. They have to burn everything here while I run away. You know I wouldn't have it any other way... After that, they will dispel themselves. In other words a perfect mission with no evidence of my activities.
Except for the massacring of hundreds of people and the destruction of an entire clan compound... Not much really...
I won't linger here a second longer. After all, a fire for a ninja is just like saying: 'Hey I am here, come kill me please'.
Oh, one more thing... The information I got from the clan head's wife?
...
The whereabouts of her husband and the Kaguya Clan army...
Naturally, that is my next destination...
