Chapter 72 - Snow Move Out (1/2)

-The next day-

”Leader I will stay in the village,” Gemini said after some thought. ”I think it best in case the Aburame clan tries something.”

”Very well. It will be different without your counsel but I understand.” Purple-haired Kai gave a nod and then left with the snow family, Kimimaro, Hisa, Mastica, Hozumi, Shuba, and some other Inuzukas.

The Mist ninja were at the gate waiting. Kisame was the most excitied to get going. Zabuza and Mei wouldn't settle down till they arrived. Haku bounced around at the idea of getting to play in the snow. Is sister was off somewhere with their mother.

”So care to explain what is going on with your clansmen?”

”Of course my Alpha.” Mastica smiled. ”They are the exiles from the clan. Most have broken some laws, others could not deal with the way we were treated by others and attacked them. We are more feral as Kari would say.” Mastica watched for any disapproval before continueing. ”Mostly clan traditions. They are loyal, but it has been put to the very limit. With the clan compound having been the only place they will stay for the last few years.. some cannot take it anymore. This is a good way out for them.”

”Tch,” an Inuzuka man smacked his teeth in annoyance.

”Speak up if your brave enough,” Mastica said not even turning around. ”You think you can do better? Go ahead and beat the clan leader and take over.” It became quiet after she said that. ”That is what I thought. I offer this pack of misfits to you. To help you set up our clan in Snow Country.”

”Aye.. well shit storms. Fine but you have to stay in charge of them as the family head. ” Kai said with a firm tone. Then he caught sight of a few others down the way. People from his clan. ”What now?”

”Greetings my lord,” Hikaru said bowing. ”The Hyuga are ready to depart with you. All but Hizashi and his family that is. He will wait till you are more establish and try to protect those who stay behind.”

”We are ready to,” Pan said. ”As one of the heads of the village of women, I think it best I go with. Besides, the cold will work wonders for my little one.” She rocked Gara in her bosom a little. He was sleeping again. Despite being close to the same age as Naruto he was treated like a toddler due to his size. He was getting bigger, just was slow. Shukaku stood by the side smiling as he waved them off.

”Alright then,” Kai said. ”Well, this is a bigger group than I thought would come. But let's move out.”

”Take point and clear the way!” Mastica barked out the order. Several Inuzuka's spread out. Then a few Hyuga, two Mist Jonin, followed by a few of the women. ”It will take us four days if we full run. 2 weeks by boat with all the people.”

”Yeah, we will be their in a week. Once we arrive at the ocean I will get us there faster.” Kai said as they walked. Hisa was on his right, with Mastica on his left. ”I think this will be a good move. As well as have a good environment to train certain ninja arts.”

”Right.” Mastica agreed. ”Also a good place to have our kids. Way more space and we get to raise those exotic ninja animals more openly.”

”Swoosh,” Domo Iburi appeared to his front. His little brother Dosu behind him. At least 43 members of the Iburi clan furthur behind them. They finally left the undergrounds with hope in there hearts to be able to live in the sun again.

”My Lord, we are not to late are we?”

”Huh, you want to come to?” Kai asked surprised. Hozumi was in the back smiling as she marks something on here ledger.

”Yes. With our ability to turn into smoke, we will be perfect in the snow. I offer my clan to you. In exchange, we just want a better stabilizer.”

”Done and done. When we get furthur out, Hisa will explain your duties. Give your clan roster to Hozumi.” Kai smiled and looked back to Hisa once they finished a brief chat. ”Now what were we talking about?”

”Haha about the area,” Mastica said. ”The cold will help defintely.”

”Ehh, you think?” Hisa asked. ”Then again our biology will change so there is that. I wonder how much snow there will be?”

”Nothing but snow.” The snow-head said. ”Haa can only push forward with my plan still.”

”Right your device to bring spring. Some upgrades from us for autonomy. My village will be it's on sovereignty in snow country.” Kai watched as the man took it in and nodded. ”I will make sure those bandits get taken care of. As well as help your dream come true. Do not worry old friend.”

”Thank you.” Sosetsu said. ”To bad none of your daughters came with.”

”My daughter Hinata is up there. She may be a little younger than Koyuki, but I think they will get along.” The snow Daiymo nodded. ”For now I think we just need to get their and be ready for any dangers.”

”Lord Senju!” Yuri said coming over. She was riding on top of a giant fox she named Frost. One of the exotic animals that Kai had been raising. Sora and Thorn running right up next. Kai gave her a nod and she spoke. ”Thank you again for everything. I am very happy to be free of the village.”

”That is good. Hope you are ready to do a lot more. You are part of the first ninja group I personally trained.” Kai gave her a smile along with the others. ”As for you Sora, this place will cause your chakra to change. I hope you are ready for it?”

”Of course!” The pink-haired kid was very excitied. ”When I get back I am gonna teach my cousin all kinds of things.”

”Good. Thorn, you will get the chance to have a lot of peace and quiet between missions. As well the cure for what inside you.” Kai said.

”Thank you, Lord Senju.” Thorn said. His voice was devoid of most emotion. However, there was a little happiness in there this time. With a signal from Yuri, they took off.

-A few hours later-

”Already is everyone ready Mastica?” Kai asked.

”Yes!”

”Hozumi everyone accounted for?”

”Of course.”

”Ok then. Shuba activates the seals.” Kai started to walk away before he disappeared all together.

”Seal up.” Shuba said plainly.

”What is going to happen next?” Koyuki asked. She looked to Kimimaro who smiled.

”We are going to make to your country in a day or so. Father is a little hasty.” Kimimaro smiled.

”How is that going to .. ahhh.” Koyuki became scared as the ground started to shake.

”Rumble rumble.” The ground beneath them shook for a moment. A slight breeze passed everyone. The seal flicked again and the air became still. A majority of them looked around and felt the sky was different. All across the seal edge, a jonin stood at the ready.

”Umm, mom. The ground feels weird.” Hinata said.
