Chapter 44 - Hyuga Incident part 4 (Karis Fight) (2/2)

”If you want I can make the choice for you. How about I tell the council about how your Elder partnered up with Cloud village and gave them intel to infiltrate the village. Your elders have gone out of control. A bunch of power-hungry old fools trapped in their ways. Allow me to clean house for you and rebuild your clan for you as well. I am not even asking for much really. Just the release of the branch members and the ending of the practice of the Cage bird Seal. You can still use it on clan offenders but not your regular people. I think I am being fair. No? It is a good offer is it not?” Kai said coyly.

'Papa I am fine... it's just they died to easily. How am I supposed to test myself against weak opponents? I do feel a little bad. But not really. They were bad people and they threaten me. Hmph, they got what was coming to them.' TenTen transmitted as she started to yawn out loud. Her body was still growing and she just manipulated a lot of artificial chakras earlier. 'But I am really sleepy. I am glad I did well. Even though Neji is a little crybaby he turned ok when we were leaving.' TenTen then fell asleep in Kai's arms.

'Hmm, I have underestimated the psyche of the children in this era. Much more study most happen to make sure I do not botch this.' Kai thought heavily on the children's studies for the future. 'i will do whatever it takes to make sure do not break TenTen. I swear it.'

”Lord Senju, if you will, can you come this way,” Hizashi stated.

As the ceremony continued a few hours later Kai was rejoined by Kari. None of the Cloud delegation members had remained. Most of the children had fallen asleep as the a.d.u.l.ts converse. Ku-La whispered over to Kai the plan is proceeding as needed.

”That is good. Pass the word to only give a slight chase to the enemy ninja.” Kai then pulled Kari closer and talked to her silently. For any who were watching it looked as if was a couple getting intimate in public. 'Did everything go ok? I can see you are not hurt however, you did not report back in. Did you run into any trouble?'

'Nothing too important. I will tell you later.' Kari placed her head on her husband and start a light snooze. 'The copy of Karin and Hinata have been taken by the jounin. Once they reach a good distance past the border the bombs will go off killing a good deal of there ninja. Hinata is resting with her mother. With Karin and Shura there as well I do not see anything going wrong. Tell me though.'

'You know you can ask me almost anything. Go for it.' Kai looked down at the woman leaned against him.

'Why do you care so much for the child as well as her mother?'

'I wish to prevent a tragedy in the village is all. Also, I think the mother and child will be a good influence on Naruto in the future.'

Once the ceremony ended everyone started to make there way out. Kai and Kari had been stopped by a Hyuga member. The man handed him a scroll and walked away.

”What do you have there?” Kari asked s she scanned the man who left.

”Meh can't be too important.” Kai opened the scroll and sped read it quickly. Squinting his eyes he chucked a little and handed it to Kari.

”Is this a joke? They cannot be serious.” Kari said incredulously.

”I do not think the Hyuga joke, my dear.” Kai smiled as they walked away.

An Uzumaki member strolled over. ”My Lord, you looked to be high spirits. Care to share the news?”

”No problem. The Hyuga's have asked for me and Kari to be the God Parents of the little prem.a.t.u.r.e baby Hanabi. Also, Karin is quite attached to the child as well. She gave the child all of her chakras to make sure the recovery went faster.” Kai looked to Kari a little angry. ”How did she learn the transfer technique to help infants?”

Kari looked to the sky trying to avoid his gaze. ”I may have taught her it.” Looking back she noticed her husbands stern gaze. Seeing the genuine anger in his eyes she stepped back a little. The Uzumaki member made a speedy retreat from the situation. ”I trusted in our daughter as much as you trust in her. She would not do anything that she would regret.” Kai's gaze softened immediately afterward.

”You are right. I am glad you made that decision. Forgive me, I know I can be overbearing sometimes.” Kai walked over and grabbed her with his free hand. Pulling her close he kissed her under the moonlight in front of the Hyuga clan's gate. ”Let's go home.”

”Swoosh,” a leaf jonin appeared right in front of the couple kneeling.

”You should go with him. It's about Lady Sarutobi. I was waiting till tonight to tell you but no point now. She needs your help. Do remember to be gentle dear husband. You can not treat her like she is Ouroboros.” Kari walked over and grabbed the sleeping TenTen. Walking over to the other Uzumaki clansmen she headed home leaving Kai there puzzled.

”Ok so mind telling me what is going on?” Kai asked trying to make sense of the situation. The moment the jonin had appeared he had stretched his senses on reflex to check on the operation around the village. Thinking something had gone wrong with the plan.

”If you come with me I can explain while we are on our way, my lord.” the ninja turned and then vanished. Kai followed behind right after.
