31 Declaration (1/2)
”Hmm, let's part ways here, Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura. I've got to eat some things first.” Rafi said as he walked away after entering Konoha with them.
”Wait, we must go together, Rafi. I have notified the Hokage along the way before, she has told me to bring you along, to wait until she came back.” Kakashi said suddenly while he held Rafi's shoulder.
”Eh?! No, I just want to tour around for now. Ehm, just say that I will meet her later.” Rafi said as his body started to disappear. 'It seems like they still didn't know about 'their' resurrection. I wonder how much a shock those two get after seeing them again.' Rafi thought as he looked strangely to Kakashi and Naruto while he was teleporting away. Naruto and Kakashi shook their head seeing Rafi disappeared. They then continued going to mission hall for reporting about Sasuke's capture mission.
”Fuh, safe, here are I come, food stalls.” Rafi then strolled around as he bought various foods. 'Well, looks like Tsunade is still hiding their existence secret. Ha ha, maybe she is really having a headache for handling things for them after their resurrection.' Rafi thought somewhat amusedly as he didn't even find one of the resurrected ones while he was strolling in Konoha's districts. Then, while he was buying some delicacies, he heard some villagers were talking about Hinata's engagement. Curious as he was, he listened to it as he strolled calmly.
”Hey, do you hear that Hyūga clan princess, Hinata-sama, is getting engaged?”
”Hm, yes, I hear that she is engaged with a man older than her though.”
”Well, they say that the man was a little 'different', you know. He seems to have stronger eye' powers than the rest of Hyūgas.”
”Oh?! How can we never heard of him before? Such person shouldn't be unknown before right!”
”Shussh, don't be loud. I hear that he was sent on a mission outside the village since he was a child. They said that it was to hone his eyes better. Now that he is back, the clan head was pleased with him.”
”Oh, so it is like that.”
After hearing the gossip, Rafi couldn't helped became curious at Hinata's sudden engagement. He thought that things seemed changed as Hinata was engaged with another person beside Naruto. Maybe Hizashi's revival changed some things inside Hyūga clan. Or maybe Hizashi asked Hiashi to betroth Hinata to Neji, or so he thought. Rafi even had a wishful thought that it might be him that became Hinata's engagement partner as he smiled lewdly imagining him with Hinata.
But, as he thought further, it was hardly probable to be him as he was an outsider to Konoha. Besides, Hiashi should knew that he was only flirting with Hinata and Hanabi before. Moreover, his chance with both Hinata and Hanabi was minuscule as Hinata liked Naruto since their childhood and Hanabi was chosen as Hyūga clan's heiress. Rafi shook his head helplessly as he continued to buy Konoha's delicacies, especially the Ichiraku's Ramen. Then, after he bought enough delicacies, Rafi went to Avalon to check up on Karin. Unknown to him, two girls were looking at each other as they thought about a certain man after they talked about his recent actions.
... ...
In the Avalon, Rafi found Karin was still resting as her wounds had been healed by the women. Though, because they didn't know how to do any medical ninjutsu, they could only treated Karin with modern medical technique. Rafi then transfered his chakra to accelerate Karin's recovery. As, although Karin could healed others with her special ability, but unfortunately she couldn't healed herself by her own.
When Rafi was healing Karin, the women looked at him with somewhat unkind gaze. As they realized that they might got another sisters in Avalon. Besides, after they arrived at another world, there were fewer times to be alone together with him as he went here and there all times. They looked at each other as they had decided to do something about it.
”There, she is okay now, she may wake up soon. So, please take care of her a bit, girls. Eh?” Rafi said as he turned to the women. He was taken aback as he looked at them who were smiling strangely to him.
”Of course. As she may be one of our sisters later right, we will 'properly' take care of her. So, don't worry, Rafi.” Sakura said with a smile that was not smile to him. While the others nodded as they began to corner him, without noticing that Karin was about to wake up.
”Wait, wait, no violence okay. I still need to declare a war in Kage summit later. It will not looks good to me if I am seen so beaten up, girls.” Rafi was going to escape from Avalon when Illyasviel held him and looked at him with puppy eyes. Stunned by Illya's cute look, Rafi missed the time to escape as the women cornered him further.
Seeing their dark smile, Rafi knew he couldn't escape anymore. He smiled dryly as he was prepared to be beaten up. However, what assaulted him was not what he expected. As he smelled a light-sweet maternal scent neared him, when a soft body suddenly embraced itself onto him with her face was beside his.
A heavenly sensation of firm yet soft mounds that were glued to his broad chest and slender arms that wrapped around his back, made him startled as he looked up to see her. It was actually the most enchantingly mature woman among the group, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who embraced gently. Stunned by her embrace, Rafi couldn't moved as he felt her warmth flowed slowly to him, while his eyes were somewhat moist.
He then looked on to other women in the room as they looked at the scene gently. Although there were also jealousy inside their gaze, but none of them contained envy to Minamoto no Yorimitsu. Looking at the women's gazes and feeling the warmth of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's embrace, he could felt their feelings that they wanted him to understand. He returned their gazes gently as his eyes were filled with love and gentleness which made their smile even brighter. Looking at their bright smile, he couldn't helped thought how nice it would be if Kanade and Iwasawa were there together with them.
He then embraced Minamoto no Yorimitsu firmly, as though he wanted to return the warmth he received before. Minamoto no Yorimitsu, felt his firm embrace, tightened her embrace. She then suddenly felt a kiss on her forehead as she heard him saying softly, ”It is enough for now. I will love you more tonight.” She blushed lightly after hearing what he said.
Rafi released his embrace slowly as he looked at Minamoto no Yorimitsu gently. He then flashed quickly as he kissed Artoria, Illyasviel and Sakura gently on each of their forehead, while he said softly to each of them. It was unknown what he said, but each of them were blushing after hearing him. Especially Artoria and Illyasviel who were blushing hard as steams rose from them.
”I know you are awake, Karin. You are really wasted on Sasuke, so I will 'kidnap' you as my woman. I will make you love me as times passes. Now, please just rest here calmly with the girls.” Rafi also flashed beside Karin as he said softly to a lightly blushing Karin. He then kissed her cheek lightly before he departed from Avalon.
”Wait, release me from here! Eh? Ehe, sorry,...sisters...” Karin suddenly shouted as she sensed that Rafi was about to disappear. Though her shout was futile as Rafi smiled at her before he went out of Avalon. While the women smiled at Karin with a smile that was not smile as they looked at her antics.
... ...
Outside Avalon, Rafi changed his attire to an Akatsuki cloak with a spiral-patterned one-eyed mask of Obito. Though his hair were still silverish-white as a result of his lost life forces from previous resurrecting them. Rafi then departed from Avalon as he teleported himself to the Kage Summit in Land of Iron. After arriving there, he found that the place was peacefully calm, unlike when Sasuke stormed his way there in original canon. Seeing the calmness, Rafi smiled a bit as he teleported inside the meeting, startling all the Kages by his sudden appearance.
”I guess, it is my first time meeting formally with you all here, the Kages.” Rafi said calmly upon intruding the summit. He then narrowed his gaze as he saw Hiashi and Shikaku beside Tsunade. Tsunade and Hiashi trembled a bit as they recognized Rafi's chakra. When they were confused by Rafi's intruding to Kage's summit, Shikaku hinted at them to keep their silence, as Shikaku felt that things were going wrong. As he saw that a man who wore a mask and Akatsuki cloak intruded to the Kage Summit.
”Akatsuki, eh? Nice timing you have there, kid. Just as we are discussing about you, Akatsuki.” Oonoki said while smiling strangely.
”Oh, I wonder what is your discussion about us, Tsuchikage? I am all ears by the way.” Rafi replied with intrigued tone.
”Return Bee to me, Akatsuki!” Raikage suddenly flashed as he attacked Rafi with his thunder chop, though it went through him as Raikage slammed himself to the wall.
”!!” The other Kages were alerted as Raikage's attack passed through Rafi.
”Quite a temper there, Raikage. Although unfortunately, Killer Bee isn't in my custody now. He is really a slippery one isn't he.” Rafi said as he looked at other Kages beside the Raikage behind him.
”So, he indeed escaped. That rascal even used that chance for running away from the village?! Unforgivable, I will give him my iron claws later!” Raikage sighed relievedly after he got a confirmation. Although he already had news of Bee's escape from Konoha, but he was still wanting to affirm it in his own way.
”What do you want by barging like this, kid? You are not gonna say that you are only greeting us here, right.” Oonoki said while he was floating.
”It is quite amusing hearing you call me a kid. I remember that I left you alive pitifully back then, when you were a weakling, Oonoki.” Rafi said somewhat amusedly, to the shock of Oonoki.
”You..you are..!!” Oonoki trembled a bit in shock as he remembered a name that was a nightmare to him for years prior.
”So, you have quite a memory, Oonoki. That's right, I am Uchiha Madara. I am here as I want to invite you all in my plan, Kages.”
”Nothing planned by the Akatsuki could be good. It won't even makes sense!” Raikage said fiercely as he returned to beside other Kages.
”Well, you can hear it or just dismiss it. I don't really care either way as it will be you all that bear the consequences anyway.” Rafi said nonchalantly to an angry A.
”Calm down, Raikage. Let's hear him first.” Gaara said calmly as A was about to erupt again.
”Hmm, my goal is to create a peaceful world. A world where there is no war, and all of our dreams are fulfilled. To reach it, I launch a plan, Eye of the Moon Plan.”
”I am truly surprised that the infamous Uchiha Madara is still alive...
But I am also confused...why do you of all people not just enforce your plan, but invite us all? With your power, you should be able to easily bring any plan to fruition.” Oonoki said surprisedly.
