Chapter 61 - Back on the island (2/2)

”Hmm so since you think he is monstrous, can I have your place as his wife?” Mastica asked. ”I will gladly take your place.”

”How can you ask that?” Anko retorted a little afraid for some reason.

”Very easily. I am a soldier.” Mastica shrugged. ”So is he. Most of us are. We play house all day but in the end, Kai has to fight against a few other Gods. One as strong as the Sage of Six paths. Let me think, there are Pein and his disciples as he calls them. Tobi Uchiha that Kakashi is supposed to take care of. The members of the bingo book that are working for that organization in hiding. The Zetsu creature that is in the shadows. The Tail Beasts inside several hosts. Oh and the other's I have forgotten all about. There is a lot.”

”Why doesn't he just go kill them right now then?” Chrysa asked.

”In what way?” Pakura asked.

”Destiny changes. The purpose of others change. When it is over in.. let's see, when the boy Naruto reaches 16 or so. And when ten tails get revived anyway.” Saresha moved her hands in the air and looked into a mirror. She viewed the events and closed it. ”That can not be avoided. Only weakened in power. He has been doing that, so good on that. Slow and steady. So far the future looks nice for all of you.”

”But not him?” Kari asked. ”Is he in our future?”

”No. He is dead.” Saresha said smiling. ”But he does move on to somewhere else. With a few going with. But only two stay by his side that are wives. And only one child.”

”TenTen, it is defintely her,” Kurama said coming into the room. ”She is the most devoted child and I can see her standing by his side. The others won't.”

”You can see the future?” Chrysa asked looking back at Saresha. ”Can you tell us..”

”Nope. Not telling you jack. I have told you what I felt I needed to. I think it better if I leave for now.” Saresha stood up and looked out to the distance. ”He is back and good to go. Just had him remember what he needed to know. Bye-bye.” Just like that she disappeared.

”Fwoosh,” Kai entered the room. He retracted his suit and mask. Going for regular clothing. ”Foosh,” Kari grabbed him into a bear hug. She was waiting for him to return. ”Crrk,” she squeezed enough to break a few of his bones.

”Oiii let go jeez. What did I do now?” Kai abruptly asked. He looked around and saw the faces of those in the room. ”Any help would be nice. Ku-La, a little help man.”

”Hehe, no way. Let her hug you for now. You took off without explaining enough.” Kurama chuckled and watched Kai's misery. He enjoyed getting his little payback. ”I wonder if Shu-La wants to go drink?”

”Put him down already,” Mastica said with a slight snarl. She was upset. Knowing that most of them were not fighting against the threat to their home unnerved her. ”His chakra is spent for the most part. You will break something.”

”Ah right.” Kari dropped Kai and looked him over. ”You are healing faster than normal.”

”Heee, yeah. I figured another way to keep my powers. People with enhanced strength can only cause me pain when I spend all my chakra now. Our people like yourself. Good to know you are one step closer to that level.” Kai wheezed as he waited to fully recover. 'She is already at my strength when I fought against those Sand Ninja. The rest are just at standard Krypotnians for the most part. I think. Head hurts. Spent to much chakra earlier. Stupid earthquake.' Rolling over to his back he looked up. ”So did I miss a lot?”

”Yup a whole lot,” Chrysa answered. She then said what transpired in the last hour or so. ”That is the gist of it.”

”You could have not said that.” Oreo looking at the woman with a grin. ”I think you are a glutton for punishment.” Chrysa shuddered a little fro her statement. ”But at least everything is out in the open. So care to explain about the amount of future tampering?”

”Hell no,” Kai answered.

”Why not?” Anko asked next.

”Because it is not a nice one. And I do not want to.”

”We want to know.” Tsume said.

”And I want a giant.. lobster. Actually a regular lobster.” Kai sat up and circled his chakra. ”I recovered already fully. I am going to miss being here. Chakra level is gonna drop back home.”

”So.. about the thing we talked about.” Tsume walked over. ”I want to keep my last name.”

”Alright. Figured as much.” Kai checked the radius of the island again. He was slightly paranoid. ”I am really hungry. Time for something to eat.”

”Easy than I thought.” Tsume smiled. ”Thought you would fight me on it. Glad you didnt though.”

”I have done enough fighting in that department. Besides I am trying to change as a little. Considering how I put a few buns in your oven to. Least I can do.” Kai said giving her a smile. Tsume actually blushed a little. ”Oh how cute. You are explainging it to Kiba. Better he hears it from you.”

”Grr shut up.” Tsume then turned to leave. ”I am going on a run. It feels good to know certain things now. Much to think about.”

”I will go.. for a walk to. Goodbye, my alpha” Mastica bit Kai then walked out.

”I will fix you something to eat,” Hisa said moving to the kitchen. ”I want to ask you something to.” She moved to the kitchen pulling Kai to sit at the table. ”The plan to relocate is still in the works correct?”

”Yeah. Will make a new village. Maybe two just in case. That is the possible plan anyway.” Kai answered as he watched her work. The kitchen filled in with a few others. ”Why do you ask?”

”You should do it. The Village of women need one. You need to become a Kage. Our life in the Leaf VIllage has been nice. However, I do not want you to die.” Hisa said turning in front of him. ”I want you to tell me right now you won't.”

”Hisa..”

”No. No excuses. If you work towards it, you will get it done. I will make TenTen ask you if I have to.” Hisa gave him a determined look. ”You said for me to ask for what I wan, so I am. Promise me here and now you will do whatever it takes to come back to me and her. Not them.” She pointed at the others. ”I do not give a f.u.c.k about what they are thinking about. Or their doubts. You come back to me and TenTen, even if you have to turn half the planet into a crater of bodies and wastelands.”

”Alright. I promise.” Kai said resolutely. ”I will come back.” His chakra levels shot up a level as his eyes glazed over. The Pandemonium aspect was happy. As if something had been fulfilled in a way. ”What in the world is happening now?” Looking down he saw his fingers had a golden chakra around it. ”I have not seen this since the .. mountain.” In a few seconds, it went away. ”I feel stronger again. Thanks a lot, Hisa.”

”No problem. That is what I am here for.” Hisa walked over and gave him a peck on the cheek. A faint glowing in her eyes. ”So here is a sandwich. I do not know how to cook this lobster you speak of. And Kimimaro is sleeping so not gonna wake him to help.”

”I can help you,” Kari said moving to her. ”It is a breeze.”

”You have a stupid grin on your face. It looks weird.” Anko said looking at him. ”Will you be ok?”

”I am just weirdly happy. I figured out something just now thanks to Hisa. So there is that.” Kai looked over between bites. ”How about yourself?”

”I am getting there. Chakra control is getting better as well as training with Oreo.” Anko had a small smile on her face. ”If you leave the village.. I do not think I will follow. Is that ok?”

”Yup. I am going to stop holding on to everything. You do what you feel you have to. I will do what I have to. Besides their will be clansmen who will stay behind. Should be able to get a few of them to stand guard. Whether you want it or not anyway. Hell knows I will have enemies popping up.” Kai gave her a look before going back to eating his sandwich.

”Thank you,” Anko answered.

”Kathunk,” the door closed as someone entered the house. It was Hozumi walking in with a bunch of bags.

”Ahh, shopping was fun. Here is the card back. I maxed it out.” She said handing it back to Kari. ”I purchased a lot.”

”There was 3 million on that thing!” Kari stared at the card. Her face plastered into a frown. The edes were worn and the strip faded. ”Glad I never spent the money myself on anything really.”

”I never knew shopping could be so fun. I bought all kinds of things.” She leaned over and grabbed a piece of Kai's sandwich. ”This is good. Still can not get over how you eat your sandwich with know condiments on them. But how much longer are we here by the way?”

”We are leaving tomorrow. Change of plans. Need to get started on some projects.” Kai said looking at her. This trip has been very beneficial to her. Healthy and stress-free. A regular pregnancy as well. Just like she wanted. ”The special project you were worried about will get started when we get back. But very slowly.”

”That is great! Are you still going to leave the resources you promised in the village?” Kai gave her a nod. Hozumi smiled became wider. ”Yes, home village gets what it needs. And we get started on our own.”

”Well about that...” Kai started to say.
