Chapter 76 - Uchiha Massacre Part 4 (1/2)
-Back at the compound-
”He escaped! He escaped!” Kai looked at Kakashi ready to kill the man. ”After all of that prep, you let him go.” He lifted him into the air ready to smash him into the ground.
”Lord Senju enough! Let my son go!” Sukmo yelled.
”After all, I have done for you boy, this is the thanks I get? I told you what happened to your teacher. I told you about Naruto and that blasted girl Rin. I was tempted to get her back for you but screw that.” Kai's eyes burned hot. ”All you had to do was stop your blasted friend. Who was responsible for so much. The reason Naruto has no parents. Did you forget that!?” Cruelty gaining more power from his words. Slowly, hower the aspect of Compassion was bringing him clarity.
”I know. I just couldnt do it.” Kakashi said slowly. ”I am sorry.”
”Cousin enough!” Tsunade said coming in. ”I need your help with Fugaku. All the medical ninja are busy. Please help me!”
”Tch!” Kai gritted his teeth and left with Tsunade. Tsume remained and listened to the rest of the details of what happened.
-In the infirmary-
”Ughhh ahhh!” Fugaku was screaming in agony. A barrier around himself as well as restraints holding him down. A few other Uchiha had been done the same way. ”Just kill me already! I won't betray my family!”
”Easy now, easy my friend.” Kai walked near him and sent his light chakra out. They took the shape of hands and burrowed into the groups of ninjas bodies. ”So much of this crap.”
”What is it?” Tsunade asked. She didnt go near it on instinct after what happened to one of the nurses. ”Will they be ok?”
”All will be well.” Kai said calmly. His voice laced with a tone she never heard before. It was soothing and full of confidence. A blue chakra washed out next pacifying the patients as they were put to sleep.
Several tears opened and the masses were thrown inside isolated from each other. The hands went back inside the group cleaning every nook and cranny of the body. It did one more pass breaking down remnants into cells that attacked any residual left behind. Any cell that had been tampered with was now absorbed by the breakdown and restructured to a new healthy cell. Zetsu cells attacked Zetsu cells. Even with Kai's strength it was difficult. Each cell of Zetsu had a power of its own. It fought the change.
Three hours passed before Kai was done. He signaled for the barrier to be dropped around Fugaku. Walking through he touched the man's eye and saw it was gone. Focusing some light chakra he grew a new one on its place.
”They need rest now. If anything strange happens let me know.” Kai looked to one of his medical ninja. The woman nodded and went to the others and started treatment. Turning to Tsunade he answered her question from earlier. ”It is a creature created from a dead baby and busload of chakra and craziness. A bioweapon technically.”
”A bioweapon?” Tsunade contemplated with her head down for a bit. Looking up she saw Kai had made it to the exit. ”Huh? Wait for me!” She caught up in no time and followed him.
”What is it?” Kai asked her.
”You.. were amazing back there. I dont understand why you dont do medical full time. In fact I dont understand why you do most of the things you do.”
”Good.”
”Huh?”
”People fundamentally do not understand each other. Ninja even more so. One of the things that make life worth living, is trying to understand each other.” Kai said peacefully.
”Hmmm, why cant you be like this all the time. It would be great if you were.” Tsunade said softly. ”I think.. I think I want to get to know your family more. Not just the other Senju members but the Uzumaki's as well. Especially since they are distant relatives.”
”Dont cause problems and everything will be fine.” Kai said. He turned to give her a once over. He made sure she was not infected. ”Do try to sleep more, the stress will kill you.”
”Fwoosh,” Kai left. He headed to the Inuzuka compound to check on the others.
”I was not done.. ahh talking. I used to much chakra. Time for bed.” Tsunade yawned before walking back home. In the shadows two Senju Jonin watched over her. They were two from the village of women that tailed her exclusively.
- Inuzuka Compound -
”How is she?” Kai asked the medical ninja upon entering.
”Good. Whatever you gave her is working wonders. Her fever broke already. She was up for a little before going back to sleep.” The medical smiled briefly before going back to work.
”That is good.” Kai spoke softly as he pets Hana's hair. Feeling his presence she rubbed her head against his palm. ”You will be fine Hana, I won't go anywhere till you wake up.”
”Your here!” Kiba yelled coming in. ”I thought you would be at the hospital still.”
”No. I took care of all the business there. Now back here. How are you doing?” Kai asked looking at the boy. ”Heard you took out your first enemy. Proud of you pup.”
”Hehe it was nothing.” Kiba rubbed his nose as he responded. His two ninja dogs sticking there heads out of his hoodie pouch. ”They did most of the work. My sis is going to be ok right?”
”Yes she will be. Do not worry ” Kai smiled.
”That is good.” Kiba climbed on the bed and curled up with his sister. He felt asleep quite fast.
”Kai your here.” Tsume said coming inside. A bowl with some broth inside was placed to the side. Tsume sat next to him quietly for a moment. ”You.. you rushed to help her. Thank you.”
”Anytime that I can, I will.” Kai said.
”Yes but you prioritize her over others. That means a lot.” Tsume walked over and sat next to him. She grabbed Hana by the hand and gently stroked it. ”Such a kind girl we have. To think she jumped in the way to shield them first.”
”Hana will be ok.” Kai said again. ”Just a lot of chakra loss is all. She freed herself from Zetsu all on her own. Glad I scorched the bastard.”
”This thing wont be back anytime soon right?”
”I dont know. I have placed a seal all around the compound to make sure. There is one around the village as well. Some scattered around the countryside. I am doing everything I can to find them. It is hard work.” Kai said. ”Even with all my strength, there is still some things I cannot change. Not yet anyway.”
