Chapter 25 - The Phoenix clan - part 2 (1/2)
And just like that, the two men started talking about who they were and what their purpose was for coming here.
The two were called Black Fox and Black Claw respectively and were part of the Black Demon mercenary group. Their members were all men who were at the Nascent Profound Realm, except their captain and vice-captains who were at level 3 and level 1 True Profound Realm respectively. They heard about a village of people living secluded in the forest and so their purpose for coming here was to kidnap the children to sell them to evil sects that cultivate using their vital yin and yang, make the women their s.e.x slaves and kill all the men. Hearing this made Itachi absolutely livid.
”Hey Itachi, why are you so angry? What happened?” said Jasmine in his mind.
”It's because of these filthy rats that I am so livid right now. Haven't you been paying to what they said just now?” said Itachi to Jasmine.
”What?! Of course I have been paying attention. It's just that I uhhh.... that I..... I uhhhh” said Jasmine hurriedly in a fl.u.s.ter trying to come up with something.
While Jasmine was trying to come up with an excuse, Itachi knew that she didn't pay any attention and was just trying to save face. But since he was busy at the moment he decided to just let it go and focus on those mercenaries.
”It doesn't matter anyway. The reason that I'm angry is because of these two in front of me and what they told me.” said Itachi as he told Jasmine what those mercenaries came here to do and suffice to say that Jasmine was also super angry.
”So, what are you going to do with them. If you don't kill them right now, I will.” Said Jasmine visibly angry after hearing the story.
”Ohh don't worry. I will kill them, but only after I show them something. So go back into the pearl and enjoy the show.” Said Itachi.
After Jasmine went back into the pearl, Itachi undid the genjutsu on those two.
”What just happened!? How are we still here!? Weren't we just back at camp?” Said the mercenaries before they saw Itachi. Just as they wanted to scream and curse at him, he stitched their mouths shut with the strings.
”Shut up and listen!! First off, thank you for telling me all your plans and where your camp is located. And second, you two are going to die here but not before I show you two something.” Said Itachi as he used the Shadow Clone Jutsu to summon three clones who look exactly like the three of them causing them to look on in shock at the clones.
”These three clones, who look exactly like you, will go back to your camp and will tell everyone there how you managed to find the village but that you were chased away by some strong but very beautiful woman. This woman was more beautiful than any you have ever seen before and was at the beginning of the True Profound Realm so she could be a treasure for your captain. So as your captain greed and l.u.s.t reaches its peak, he will surely order your entire mercenary band to come and capture everyone in the village. That's when he and all your mercenary companions will fall head first into my trap and I'll eliminate everyone in one fell swoop.” Said Itachi much to the horror of the two, who tried to free themselves to no avail.
And like that he sent the three clones to the mercenary camp to lure them to the village. Itachi then used the strings to grab the corpse of the first mercenary and threw it to the other two. Then he used the strings to create a dense sphere made of strings around the three of them. The sphere that completely enveloped them only had one small opening at the front.
FIRE STYLE: FIRE BALL JUTSU
Using the strings to keep the flames from burning the forest and using it as a makeshift kiln, Itachi burned the three mercenaries to ashes.
After he burned the mercenaries to ashes, he went to undo the genjutsu on the two children and wake them up. Soon Feng Xi woke up first.
”Good morning sleepy head. Did you sleep well?” Said Itachi to Feng Xi as he woke up.
”Ohh man, I had the weirdest dream ever. I dreamt that I could fly through the air, but like really really fast. What happened here, and where are those men that were chasing us?” Said Feng Xi.
”Ohh don't worry about them. Let's just wake up you sister and get you two back to your village.” said Itachi as he woke up Feng Lin. After she woke up they started walking to their village. A few hours later they arrived at their village and just then a woman rushed towards them whilst crying tears of joy.
”Ling'er!! Xi'er!! Thank the heavens that you're okay!!” cried a woman, who was most likely their mother, whilst holding the two children in her arms as they cried as well.
As the family reunion continued, a man approached them with tears in his eyes. He hugged his family for a bit before walking over to Itachi with a bright smile on his face.
”Ohh thank you so much for bringing back my children kind stranger. I am Feng Baichuan, I am the leader of this village. May I know the name of my children's savior?” said Feng Baichuan to Itachi with a big smile on his face
”Greetings, my name is Itachi Uchiha.” said with a smile before he became serious.
”Feng Baichuan, we need to talk. It's a matter of utmost urgency. Can we go somewhere where we can talk in private.” said Itachi to which Feng Baichuan nodded and brought him to his home to talk.
Itachi was looking around the village as he was walking to Feng Baichuan's home and just like the story he noticed that everyone was at level 10 Elementary Profound Realm and had a mahogany red mark of the Phoenix on their foreheads.
