17 Part 2 (1/2)

I came towards them, stepping between them and the soldier's. The Lieutenant of the army was still alive, his horse dead and his head bleeding, but alive. I moved through the hand seals for Swift Release, finishing with the last hand seal but waiting to see what Itachi and Kisame do.

”I only killed a hundred people,” Kisame growled, ”that brat sure is a handful.”

”It is to be expected,” Itachi nodded, ”he is of course one of my clan members.”

”W-what?! He's an Uchiha?! But I thought you killed them all?!”

”He was an orphan, it seems one managed to get away,” Itachi growled, ”either way, if he is a member of my clan I'm curious to see how far he will grow.”

”Are you nuts?! We should kill him now!” another wave of clones came and took half the army away, leaving only around 60 soldiers and me behind, ”and stop taking away my kills!”

”He won't,” Itachi smirked, ”it seems his Nindo is to refuse to let people die, isn't that right, Yami Uchiha?”

I smirked, ”I'm not sure about the whole Uchiha thing, but you are right about not wanting anybody dead.”

”An idealist, how...interesting,” Itachi murmured, he turned away and left, ”come Kisame, I'm sure we can play with him again soon enough.”

”But Itachi! He's right there!” Kisame cried out. And just then the final wave of clones came, grabbed everyone and vanished, leaving me alone in the battlefield, along with the bodies of the dead soldiers.

”God damn it!” Kisame cried out, ”fine! This is a waste of time anyway! I'll see you later Uchiha brat! And next time I'll rip your fucking eyes out!”

I nodded, ”bite me fuck face,” I made finished the hand seal, activating a Swift Release jutsu, ”Swift Release: Speed up times 1,000!”

I needed to do this fast. I opened my inventory and took out a chakra metal trench knife that I had made. I infused it with wind chakra making it extremely sharp. I moved to Kisame's side, his hand tightly wrapped around his sword, Samehada. Now I couldn't touch the blade with my chakra, it would just absorb it, but, I could touch him.

I sweeped the knife across his wrist, the hand coming off in one straight go as slowly blood started to drip out. Guess even a thousand times faster isn't faster than slowing down time.

I put the trench knife away, grabbed the man's hand and used it like a tong to put the sword into my inventory. That's right, I just stole Kisame's fucking sword!

Now I couldn't kill him, due to gaming logic, even if I cut off his head with my trench knife, he wouldn't die unless I remove all his HP first. So I did the next best thing.

I used the daggers and plugged it into his eyes, making his mouth slowly open. I looked over and noticed Itachi's eyes slowly move towards me, they were moving in normal speed, he could see what I was doing. Good.

Ten seconds left, better make this count. I plunged the daggers into his rib cage over and over again, puncturing his lungs. Time's up, I jumped away as suddenly time restarted.

”ARGH!” Kisame cried out in pain.

”Kisame!” Itachi cried out in surprise, guess while his eyes could follow me, his brain still hadn't processed what it was seeing.

”So long shit heads!” I cried out as I flashed away in a blast of blue lightning, appearing outside Hono's gates in front of the whole army I managed to teleport away.

”Where is the enemy?” the lieutenant asked as he came forward on a brand new horse.

”I left them behind, they might try and attack us, but I managed to injure one of them badly enough that he might require healing. I don't think they will follow us here.”

”And if they even think about it Hono will make them regret it!” the man cried out as suddenly the walls of the city was lined with soldiers and ninjas, all highly alert and all around level 50 and above.

Ping!

I smiled, I could so use another Ultra ball, incase I happened upon another legendary. I nodded and looked to the man in charge, his name was Fumo, ”alright then, if you have this handled then I need to see my teammates, one of them is injured and will need medical help.”

”Go ninja, you have risen above and beyond the call of duty. You have acted with great honour today, we, the army of Hono will not forget this gesture Yami Uchiha.”

I saw all their REP scores go up by 20. I sighed, ”I'm not an Uchiha, it's just Yami.”

”But that man said you were,” Fumo argued.

I sighed, ”I'm a clanless orphan, believe me when I say that if I was an Uchiha, someone would have told me long before Itachi Uchiha. Goodbye, and good luck,” and with that I leaped over the city walls and ran into the city.

I felt Eagle's chakra signature slowly stabilizing near the top, right inside the Daimyo's castle. I ran over there without a second's thought, leaving over the guards and ninjas who tried to stop me.

I ran inside and to the room where I felt Eagle's chakra, I threw the door open and came in, finding Puma, Spider, Monkey and Snake all gathered around Eagle, whose torso was wrapped in bandages, his mask was cracked, they moved it and kept it aside revealing a man with deep blonde hair with brown eyes.

He looked around forty and had a small scar on his nose. And over his head was his title, which now read, 100 REP. Guess me saving his life made him like me, who knew right?

”Panda,” Eagle noticed me first. Everyone looked up from Eagle, blinking in surprise at seeing me, ”is everyone safe?”

I nodded, ”yes Eagle. Everyone is safe. Around a hundred soldiers died, but I managed to get rest out. They are now forming a perimeter around the city.”

”What about Itachi and Kisame?” Eagle asked as he tried to get up, only for the woman next to him, a medic by her title, pushed him back down, telling him to rest.

”Itachi isn't much of a fighter, he won't attack a city filled with the chunin level ninja, he isn't that crazy. And Kisame...he's a little banged up at the moment,” I grinned.

”What did you do?” Puma asked.

In response I opened my inventory behind me and slowly took out Samehada, displaying over my head, ”ta-da!”

”SKREECH!” the sword suddenly screamed as it's handle exploded into spines cutting into my hand. Everyone jumped in shock, the ANBU circling around their hurt commander.

-200 HP!

I let go in shock as it suddenly moved, rushing to the door. ”Oh no you don't!” I activated Swift Release, making me ten times faster. I grabbed the blade and shoved it into my inventory once more.

I grumbled as I walked in. I used the Mystical Palm healing jutsu on my left hand, healing my right, ”right, it has sentience, forgot about that.”

”Where is that blade?” One asked.

”I have it sealed away,” I sighed as the wounds on my hand healed, ”it's fine.”

”We need to bring that back to Konoha at once,” Eagle said as he raised his torso up, ”Panda, is there any chance of it escaping again?”

”No,” I shook my head, ”once it's inside my storage seal it can't do a thing. It'll only be a problem if I remove it once more.”

”Good, keep it in there. Doctor, when can I return to the field?” Eagle asked.

”Not for another three days,” she sighed, ”I'm sorry, but this is the best I can do.”

”It's fine,” Eagle turned to me, ”can you flash me back home?”

”Can you flash all of us?” Snake asked.

I nodded, ”yes. Do you want me to do it now?”

”No,” One replied as he walked in with his team, ”not yet. The Daimyo wishes to see you all, now.”

”Eagle can't move,” Spider argued.

”Doctor, get him a wheelchair,” One ordered.

”R-right,” the woman nodded as she quickly moved to obey. We put Eagle in the wheelchair and put his broken mask on his face. It wasn't much, but it was protocol. I pushed him along as we followed One to the main chamber, the other's guarding us on either side.

”What you did back there Panda...it's nothing short of amazing,” Puma spoke, ”sorry for treating you lightly kid.”

I shrugged, ”not a problem,” I looked down, ”I'm sorry you got hurt Eagle.”

Monkey snorted, ”he saves the army of daimyo, fights off two S rank missing ninjas, and he's sorry about getting Eagle hurt? Now I've seen everything.”

We reached the hall, One walked in and introduced us. This time when we entered there was no table, instead each nobleman and their house sat down on their side of the Daimyo, creating a pathway of sorts with the fire lord in the center looking very flustered.

”You there,” the Daimyo pointed at me, ”it was you who saved all of us yes?”

I stepped from behind Eagle's wheelchair and bowed, ”yes lord Daimyo.”

”How are you able to use the Flying Thunder God jutsu?! I demand you show us your face ninja,” Socio ordered, his face looking very curious.

”I can't sir,” I bowed, ”it's against ANBU law.”

”Which can only be overturned by the Hokage...or the Daimyo,” One supplied.

The Fire Daimyo perked up, ”oh? Is that right? Then I order you to show us your face ninja!”

I turned to Eagle who nodded. I sighed and got up, removing my mask with one smooth motion, meeting the Daimyo's eyes.

The man squinted, ”who are you boy? I don't recognize your face.”

”But I do,” said Moe, who was sitting by her father's side, ”his name is Yami, he's the genin who saved my life.”

”Oh?” Socio said blinked, ”it's you. I see….guess you were serious on your ambition on learning more about the Fourth's seal yes?”

I smiled, ”that is correct lord Socio,” I then turned to Moe, ”sorry for using the marker I gave you to transport everyone, I honestly didn't have a choice.”

Moe smirked, ”well, it was strange seeing lord Daimyo and his court in my bedroom, but I suppose it was an emergency. It's….it's good to see you again Yami.”

I smiled, ”it's good to see you as well Moe. I hope you've been well. Any annoying shopkeepers I should know about?”

Moe smirked, ”he's kept his nose down. Haven't heard a pep from him since.”

”So you are the genin who learnt the Flying Thunder god jutsu, interesting,” the daimyo hummed, drawing attention back to him. Frankly, I think he was jealous that I focused on Moe, ”tell me Yami, is it true what they're saying? That after rescuing us you went back to save my men? My soldiers?”

I nodded, ”yes sir.”

”Why is that? Why did you risk your life for a bunch of soldiers?”

I shrugged, ”what was I supposed to do? Just let them die?”

The Daimyo blinked, ”I would watch that tone young man, I am your lord.”

I sighed, ”if you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors,” I looked at the nobles around me, ”not his equals.”

The Fire Lord's eyes widened, ”that's quite a philosophy you have ninja. Tell me, do you fancy yourself a philosopher?”

I shrugged, ”I'm just a hired gun. Who I want to be doesn't matter.”

”Really?” the Daimyo snorted, ”you have a mouth on you boy. I would watch it if I was you.”

I bowed, ”a thousand apologies my lord, I meant no offence. You merely asked why I wanted to save your soldiers, I told you why. I don't think of them as a noble or a soldier, a life is a life, regardless of who's it is. I completed my mission by getting you all safe and sound. After that I was allowed to do what I wish, and I wished to save the lives of the brave men who pledged their blades to you.”

The court murmured, the daimyo looked happy at my apology and even more so when I kept mentioning ti was his people I saved. The man smiled, ”well then ninja boy, I suppose you deserve a reward for you actions yes? Well, what do you all think we should give him?”

”A title perhaps?” Socio suggested, ”something befitting of his status?”

”A title? This lad saved our lives and the loves of over nine hundred soldiers and all you want to give him is a title?!” the scarred nobel scoffed, ”he deserves more!”

”Perhaps we should just ask him?” the purple wearing noble woman said as she turned to me, ”well? What is it that you wish for shinobi?”

I blinked, ”ah...I guess peace would be nice,” I shrugged.
