74 A Brewing Storm?? (1/2)

*WITH BROLY*

Broly has returned to his village with Hidan and Kakuzu still chained up. He walked through the crowd of civilians to get the Palace. The Palace, or more commonly known as the Councilor's Castle, is where Broly, Jabie, and Esumi regularly stay. Although Sho, Khael, and Fu got rooms of their own as well.

Although Broly was walking through the streets with two men impaled and chained up, the looks of the villagers were no different. Some of the children even cheered and greeted Broly. Their parents tried to stop them but Broly allowed it. He doesn't mind giving his subjects some time. He wasn't in a hurry after all.

”Haio Councilor Hakuseki!!” One of the children greeted him.

Broly nodded towards the boy who was nearly his size.

”Who are they?! Are they our enemies? Are they going to be our friends? Or are they going to be part of the super cool police force?” A little girl asked.

”They will be used to support our soldiers. They were my enemy, but now they have become slaves. They were weak and paid the price for it. Power is everything.” Broly said as the children were awed at one of the Councilor's strength and set a goal to themselves to become as strong as possible.

”Lord Councilor Sir! How can I become one of the apprentices under the Councilors?!” An academy student asked Broly.

Broly looked at the red-haired boy. He noticed the boy was under the effects of Jabie's alcoholic medication. This medication was only used for a certain fighting style.

”There will be no more apprentices. I will give you all the tools needed to become stronger. In the future I expect many of you to rival Jabie and Esumi and some lucky few to even best them.” Broly said before lightly laughing.

”If you manage to reach my power in the future, I wouldn't mind letting you be my rival. But there are many fighters for you to defeat before you can dream about that.” He finished before walking away and leaving the children and any nearby listeners to awe even more at one of their leaders.

”Just watch me Councilor Hakuseki….. I will get as strong as I can… I won't let you down!” The red-haired boy said before heading off too the library, where most of the techniques the gang knows are listed.

Broly arrived at his home and went to find a Jabie clone to get started on extracting Hidan and Kakuzu's knowledge and jutsus. He walked into an unused lab and found just the clone he was looking for. He told him what he wanted him to do and watched as the clone put on a Crown of Servitude on both Hidan's and Kakuzu's head before giving them very specific orders so that they won't cause trouble in the future and listen to their orders. The Crown of Servitude injects a special type of chakra that integrates itself with the victim's chakra system, but mostly the brain. This special chakra could be said to be linked to genjutsu, due to the fact that it controls the victim's senses and thoughts. But it is not a genjutsu. Just similar to it. Jabie only managed to create this type of chakra through pure luck.

Broly found a strange ore after one of his adventures across the nations, and gave it to Jabie after not being able to figure out how to use it. Luckily for him, Jabie managed to figure out the uses for the mineral. He soon left after making sure nothing went wrong with the ”ceremony” and met up with his clone that held the three-tails.

”You won't get away with this, you monster. A woman's voice said filled with hatred.

Broly ignored the Two-Tailed Jinchūriki as she also had the crown on her head. Broly noticed the three-tails was still in it's small form and resting state. He had to figure out a way to get this beast under his control. He doubted the crown would work on a Tailed Beast without a host. He didn't have any knowledge of fuinjutsu to seal it inside someone. He told himself to remind Jabie to recruit a fuinjutsu expert inside the village sometime in the future.

'I will just have to keep it in this weakened state until I can find a way to take over this beast's mind.' Broly thought to himself.

Broly soon left the underground parts of the Palace and returned to his room. Broly's room was rather plain. Just a simple king-sized bed, a large drawer filled with clothes he never wears in favor for his classic look, Pictures of him, Jabie, and Esumi in a photo taken by Akira. Some pictures were just him and Akira or him alone. He looked in the mirror at his still child-like figure. He crushed his hand. 'Soon. I will return to my previous appearance.'

'The Akatsuki should be preparing themselves for a more frontal assault against the Jinchūriki or my village. The village won't be able to build itself quietly for much longer and my slaves won't be able to match up against a member of the Akatsuki without dying or nearly dying in the aftermath. Going after more Jinchūriki at this point would be pointless. I've captured three of them. That's good enough. For now, I should just stay here and continue to strengthen the village while increasing my own power. I'll have to send a clone to watch the chunin exams and inform Jabie and Esumi about my decisions.'

After deciding his next plan of moves, he got out of his room and headed towards the academy with a Jabie clone behind him.

*WITH JABIE*

Jabie had a clone that was currently more than 20 kilometers away from Konoha. The clone reached into his bookbag with his hand and with his new kinjutsu gained from ”borrowing” Deidara's techniques. His new mouth hand started to crunch, chomp, and chew on the various steel inside his bookbag created from his steel release kekkei genkai he ”acquired” from the village of steel users. After the hand finished chewing it formed a pure pitch-black arrow laced with pressurized water chakra. After spitting out the arrow, the mouth hand also spat out a similarly colored bow made of the same materials.

The two items suddenly poofed and enlarged to a normal size. The clone grabbed the two items and activated his Byakugan. He saw his target in his regular underground base.

'I'll need to allocate a large amount of chakra if I want this to reach Danzo…” Jabie muttered to himself.

Jabie dipped the arrow in a special type of poison he made after gaining knowledge of Sasori's massive knowledge of poisons and mixing his own. This poison will effectively shut down the body's movements in seconds and soon kill them afterwards. After doing that, Jabie equipped the bow and arrow and aimed at the stationary Danzo. With a brief burst of red chakra, Jabie's clone grew sharp teeth and had two slight protrusions from the back of his head. With a grin that looked like a standard mad scientist smile, Jabie increased the amount of chakra formed around his arrow to improve the piercing power of it as much as he could. After a few second of infusing his ”gathered” tailed beast chakra into his arrow, the red chakra aura dispersed and his physical condition returned back to normal. He was slightly sweating as he aimed down Danzo who was currently sitting in a throne-like chair talking to his henchmen.

'Those eyes of yours will be put to better use inside the people of my village. I'm sure those eyes were gained through a rather unethical scheme of yours anyway.' Jabie's clone thought to itself before releasing the arrow from his bow.

*SWOOSH*

And with that the arrow tore through the air and ground easily. No matter what was in the way of the arrow, everything was completely ignored and passed through as it homed in towards Danzo.

As if the arrow had a mind of it's own. Which was somewhat true. Due to the arrow being created from the mouth hand of Jabie, Jabie could remotely control the materials created from the hand. The arrow was steadily getting closer and closer to Danzo as it finally made it a few meters near Konoha. The arrow finally started to aim down and head towards Danzo's underground base.

And with an arrow through his heart, Danzo has met his end as his henchmen immediately got into action and set off. Jabie was about to turn off his Byakugan there, but suddenly… Danzo's body faded away and reappeared next to his throne. Jabie saw one of the Sharingan on Danzo's arm shut.

'Impossible… The Sharingan couldn't possibly be able to rewrite life and death… But.. How did he see my attack coming? Is it automatic?' 'I don't have enough information! How infuriating…..' Jabie thought as he controlled the arrow to shoot towards Danzo once more.

Danzo removed his right eye wrap and revealed another sharingan eye. He swayed his head to dodge the arrow instead of catching it or breaking it.

'He can see the poison as well…' Jabie's clone thought as it made the arrow continue to shoot towards Danzo. Danzo continued to dodge easily until Jabie's clone made a Seal of Confrontation hand sign and made the arrow burst apart into tiny metal pieces that skewered Danzo.

'What about this one Danzo?' Jabie thought with a smug smile.

But once more Danzo's previous skewered body faded away and reappeared somewhere else.

'He realized he wasn't in an advantageous position.. He's running. Another sharingan on his arm closed as well.. I think I'm starting to get it… Lethal methods aren't going to work against him.. And it seems a henchman under Danzo managed to spot me.. A Hyūga Root member.. This isn't turning out so well.. I'll have to try again another time.' Jabie thought as his transformed clone dispelled before it could be caught by Danzo and his henchmen.

”I will use your body to build up my village even more. Those eyes and that arm will be put to much better use in my hands Danzo.. Just wait..” Jabie muttered to himself before taking off towards the joint chunin exam between Konoha and Suna.

'I hope Esumi is doing fine. Although I never fought Orochimaru, I heard from Suna that he's good at running away.'
