Arc 3: Phase 2



It felt like ages had past since those two meddling girls left him, He was still strapped on the chair like he was the kidnapped victim. More than that, he could still feel the pain in his own balls inflicted by none other than that raven haired girl character, Sarada.

The silver haired man cringed in pain as he began to move himself trying to drew out a small sharp object from his back pocket which was revealed to be a small knife. He then used that knife, with a little dose of his chakra, cutting the ropes which bind him, in one swoop.

Although again, He cut those ropes were sheer emotion not realizing that they were made from the young root's ink summons which mean't that the ink substances reacted violently as it suddenly caused a little mini explosions which caused the man to be sent on to the ground.

Kabuto cringed once more because of the multiple aches in his body. It felt as if his body was subjected to a long enduring acupuncture session. It was really annoying and he was beginning to wonder on why he had to go through all of this. He hasn't done anything wrong to deserve this!

"I really hate this!" Kabuto muttered to himself as he slowly recovered and began to crawl towards the door instead.

Along the way, thoughts were beginning to entertain his mind in order to reduced the attention to the aches that he was feeling right now.

He wondered on what had happened to the rest of the teens that confronted him just now. He was also confident that they somehow had been lost in the inner areas and that they were going to be trapped there forever. Although, that was only his imagination and hopes since he just recalled that he gave clues which will possibly direct them to the Uchiha's true location.

Another one bites the dust, the silver haired man was often on the losing side nowadays. He just can't figured it out the reason why. He just got kicked in the nuts two major times, and even got verbally bashed by two girls. Was there more in store him after he gets out of this empty and quiet room?

In fact he really needed to catch up, there was also a loud explosion and a small tremor that he had felt awhile ago. Could that be Sasuke being triggered once more? If that is true, then looks like the others had finally found him.

He smirked." Something interesting must be going on right now." Kabuto commented as he finally opened the door.

He was still slightly bent and limping because of the aches in his body but he already had his confidence beside him. By the time he opened the door, he was suddenly greeted by something unexpected, as soon as he saw the outside premise of the corridors he was then greeted by a certain mysterious sliver haired woman to which he hadn't seen before.

She was donning a white outfit and cloak and a sadistic grin in her face.

Kabuto's whole body froze as he stared in surprised at the young woman." Who are you supposed to be?" He let out a question, although he received no response from her.

The silver haired young woman just gave another grin as she finally responded." Oh, Just another of your nightmares" She said with a gleeful smile and a sarcastic tone of voice.

For a few moments, Kabuto was very much bewildered and confused, before realizing that this young woman was somehow dangerous. His first instinct was to summon his chakra blade but he was unable to do it since it was very much too late.

The last thing he saw was that the young woman had suddenly grabbed his face in whole and blackness took over right after, leaving him into an unknown fate.

(THE DUCK AND THE OTSUTSUKI)



It was the one of the biggest explosions that he had encountered in years. It was probably one of them that could possibly roast him overall. A big sigh of relief came through Showtaro as the duck took all the available time to rest and conserved energy before heading back on track.

The quietness of the whole area immediately returned once again after the recent explosion at the old chamber and also after the blonde rookie had left to assist the rest of the team at the main field. It was at that same time the blonde dropped something on the ground when took off and it was revealed to be that of a certain scroll which left the two baffled.

Showtaro was the first one to examined the scroll and even he couldn't even understand its mechanics. He described the scroll as somewhat futuristic-looking, with modern-like art designs that acted as the outside cover of the scroll. It was pretty much bigger than any scroll that he recently had ever seen and it was best to not opened it whatsoever.

Kaiga, on the other hand, had just recovered, he could stand and finally walk but there were still signs of injuries so as a result he was slightly limping all the way throughout the journey.

The two were now on their journey towards the place where the rest of the team were located. They had their own lead to the place in the form of the blonde rookie's chakra trails to which the Otsutsuki can actually sense. For the meantime, they were in good hands and the only the problem that they had was that they were racing against time.

The journey shortly began once they have recovered and gathered themselves up. The dim-litted corridors still retained its gloomy atmosphere to which the two really didn't bothered too much. All the things in their minds were directly focus on getting the heck out of this place.

Along the way, a conversation was formed between the two, It's been quite so long since they've talked and this is the only available time that they can have a conversation, even though it was only for a brief time.

"Sorry, I got you into this mess." Kaiga was the first one to speak. He didn't have the time to apologized properly so now was the time.

Showtaro could only sigh and shook his head." The question is, how do you get yourself into this mess?" He rephrase the Otsutsuki's original question.

There was a brief moment of quietness that befell the latter before giving out a little chuckle." Oh come on Showtaro, you know how I get myself into this kinds of situations." He replied back.

Showtaro gave a look." You really should take be careful on who you're dealing with." He said before continuing." You don't want to end up being imprisoned again in another chamber." He added, referring to the larger forces that were responsible for the troubles.

"Well, that's what you get when you want to expose the corruption in the system." Kaiga explained." Those guys can't catch a break on what they're doing." He added." Also the fact that they made numerous attempts to eliminate me and still I'm here."

Showtaro gave a small smile." Of course, you're an Otsutsuki, your race can't be killed that easily." He said, before staring at the blank space." I'm still wondering on how did I managed to get myself out of that explosion." He commented, before realizing one certain blonde rookie, who was responsible for preventing that possibility of him getting turned into barbeque satey.

"I think you have to thank your blonde friend for that." Kaiga respnded referring to the blonde rookie.

There was a brief of moment of quietness from Showtaro." You're right, the kid almost risked his life to save us." He said, before continuing." It's pretty rare for a human to have that kind of heart in a world filled with greed." He added.

It was kind of a realization for the duck, all throughout his life he had trust issues with the people in the human world. As a inside Journalist, he saw how forces had corrupted them causing to their turn their backs at each other resulting in wars and conflict. He never really had a contact with an actual human before. He had to admit that this was the first time he had engaged and befriended their kind in the form of Boruto and Sarada.

When Miyuki informed him regarding the two, He had his doubts and he was very cautious at first. Although, as time passed by he was beginning to have a connection with them, Somehow, it came into his mind that not all of Humans were that kind of people. He can see that he was slowly starting to trust the two more as time continued. Now, He unexpectedly found himself worrying about the two even more.

He wasn't like this before.

"Is something wrong Showtaro?" The voice Kaiga interrupted his thoughts and brought him back.

Showtaro quickly shook his head." Uhmm I'm fine, It's nothing serious, I was just wondering if Boruto has finally managed to catch up and reached the place." He explained as he speeded up the journey a little bit.

"Oh I see." Kaiga nodded in understanding." He's a special kid to be honest." He said, before continuing." Although, there was something strange about him." He added, causing the duck to give him a curious look.

"What do you mean strange?" A curious Showtaro asked.

Kaiga took a deep breath as he continued." During that explosion, I managed to find a good look on what had transpired." He said aa he closed his eyes trying to remember on what he had witnessed.

In his perspective, He saw what appears to be strange yet familiar tattoo markings suddenly appearing on the blonde rookie's arm all the way up into his right hand to which he tried to prevent the force of the explosion by absorbing it. It was all to familiar to him, he thought he had seen this before.

"The Markings on his arms and his hands and that power to absorb any energy, If I can recall correctly, you can only have those things once you kill an Otsutsuki." Kaiga explained, giving the duck a look." Tell me Showtaro, Did that kid killed an Otsutsuki?" He seriously asked.

Showtaro kept quiet as he too could only stare at the other. He too was confused." How should I know?" He replied back." I haven't got to really know him yet and plus with him having those abilities because he killed one of your kind seemed to new to me overall." He added.

Kaiga simply nodded" I see, It's just that I noticed something different about him when I looked into his eyes, there's something in it that I have seen before." He explained.

Showtaro raised an eyebrow." Wait, so your telling me that the kid has some kind of eye ability which belonged to your race?" He tried to clarify.

Kaiga simply shook his head." We may never know, but it's best that we try to know more about it." He replied.

It was definitely somehow true, when Showtaro first met the blonde rookie he could tell that there was something about the kid to which he couldn't figured it out. Surely, he had met a lot of characters to which he considered as heroes of their generation but when it comes to this kid, he was different. Something more tragic yet amazing.

Was there something regarding them that Miyuki is not telling him about?

Things were pretty much interesting and as they continued on the journey, Showtaro can't help but get distracted of the place's gloomy and suspicious atmosphere.

The corridors of these place were eerily quiet. He always hated this type of atmosphere in every similar place that he went to. Now thrust with a new task of escorting his still weakened Otsutsuki friend, things could get more worst as the feeling of being watched was always there. They were now heading to the exit, where the rest were located, as fast as they can, they still have the task to assists the rookies and the rest of Team 7, especially for Showtaro who also cared for the two teens' safety.

What was to expect besides this?

Although unbeknowst to them a certain silver haired young woman, was actually observing them from certain spot with a wide sadistic grin on her face.

(Interview)

"The only expectations that we had was that we either get out of this place or get ambushed by some crazy knife wielding person."

-Showtaro

"I'm really not sure on whatever is going on right now, but It would be best if the rest of the journey will ve uneventful."

-Kaiga

(A LOST SOUL)

It was pretty much an eventful day at least for the boy, Mitsue. The kid had been used to the quiet and lonely story of the hideout. It had been long time as he waited for the old story to end until one day when a teen with a mission, named Sai arrived at the hideout looking for someone. He first met the guy during a quiet lunch break at the small cafeteria, although after that they went their separate ways, with the teen leaving for his mysterious mission.

It was only hours after that a series of loud noises which seemed to be explosions from a part of the hideout were heard. It was followed by a series of small tremors which really gave everyone the real panic. The tremors didn't stop until minutes passed and most of the captives or the people residing in the hideout were overwhelm by the chaos created.

It was then that someone had shouted that eastern area of the hideout had been destroyed, creating a huge opening to which acted as an exit for those who are longing for an immediate escape from this place.

"Now's our chance!"

"Finally! We're free from this hellish placed!"

"Freedom!"

A big number of the prisoners and former experiments were yelling all throughout the corridors as they hurried themselves towards eastern side of the hideout. They were tasting freedom for the first time and ultimately did. The sudden stampede and panic forced the boy to come along with them.

Most of the corridors in the eastern side were destroyed by the small but powerful tremor. It only gave the rest of the people an easier time to navigate the maze and in just a few minutes they finally reached their destination.

The light of the sun greeted them for the first time in years. Many were rejoicing as they headed towards the new exit, they warmly embraced the new world in front of them as they never dared to look back once more. All those years of being a captive for a lone snake man was nothing but only a memory from now on.

Mitsue stood as he watched the rest of the people, in different ages take their leave and escaped. It didn't took long enough as the place immediately became silent right after that, leaving boy only in sight.

Everything was quiet from that point on, the boy was shocked and surprised. In that matter of moments, the long captive years in the hideout was now over, he was now a free person, yet he didn't went along with the rest of people.

Was there something holding him back?

Thoughts were now clouding the boy's mind. To be honest, he didn't knew where to go, he knew that he had a family somewhere but the only problem was that he can't even remember the place where they used to live. Heck! He can't even remember their faces! Their names... Looks like his brain was a lost cause so far.

Then something came up to him at the last minute.

"Sasuke-san!"

"Sai-san!"

These two names popped up inside his mind. There's still a reason on why he should not leave this place yet. He was thinking that maybe these two individuals could help him in some way. With his Uchiha friend, he could possibly join him if they ever leave this place altogether. With the other black haired teen, Sai could possibly help him find a home since he was donning a familiar village headband, maybe he could take him to that village which could act as his temporary home.

These were the possibilities that could happen. The only thing that he needed to do now is search for the two of them in this huge hideout. He knew he was going to be alone this time, but he didn't care much overall.

Right now he was just going to wander off like a lost soul.

(PLAYFUL BANTER)



A wide grin slipped across her face once she saw the two traversing through the corridors of the ancient ruins. Amidst the series of quakes, which originated from two different blast that destroyed large parts of the hideouts, the young woman couldn't contain her excitement beause much was happening around her that she wanted to be a part of it or at least get involved in.

She still remembered that promised to never interfere in this very event but still she couldn't keep her urges in check. She was always this way right from the start.

A sassy sadistic young woman with a penchant of breaking promises, at least that what the members of the organization view her to be. To be in fact, she saw herself as more than what they described her to be. Simply, she was just in for the fun.

The moment when she said that she was going to go somewhere else was only a half-truth. She didn't technically left immediately but she chose to stay in the shadows, watching the events unfold. What was she supposed to do when she finished all her task? Surely, she wanted to be in a place where she could do all her wants, but seeing This specific event gave her the interest to stick around.

A few days prior there was a report from one of the members that a trio of newcomers were somehow wrecking havoc or to simply put that they were altering the events that had been previously manipulated. One such a event involving the kidnapped Kazekage and the human mercenary group known as the Akatsuki. There were some things that were unexpectedly change such as the survival of an Akatsuki member, who was expected to be killed, and even voluntary surrendering to the Shinobi.

This report made it enough interesting for her to take a peek on what was exactly going on for herself. She even went far as to trying to get at least a close encounter with them and she didn't expect that they would be that strong, although it gave her more excitement and a reason to stay.

She still had that hunger for blood since the war, although it had toned down over the years. She was more of a playful type of person.

The ancient ruins, which had been turned into a hideout, was bigger than she had expected. The main event which was currently taking place on the north of the place was her go to destination but seeing that Tensai was there already monitoring, she had no choice but to explore the inner areas and found her first victim in the form of the silver haired glasses man known as Kabuto.

It was a quick work as she immediately incapacitate the man, putting him under her influence and placing his mind under her control so that he can do whatever she tells him to do. Before that, she had heard that this man was very much instrumental to the snake man's plans, which means this man was fully trusted. She also figured out that he had a very cocky and prideful attitude when she was observing him from the shadows.

"So much for being a cocky bastard four eyes?" Yuko thought to herself.

Not too long, she finally found her second victims in the form of the Duck and his Otsutsuki friend, who were traversing the hideout en route to the north where the main event was currently happening.

"Perfect!" She thought to herself with a devious smirked on her face as she watched them from the shadows.

She searched through her thoughts once more. How was she gonna execute her playful plan? In which way possible? What will be it like? Are there gonna be casualties? Of course there will be, but how would her plan play like?

Moments later, another wide grin swept across her lips. She finally figured out on what to do next, so far her she's going to try her best on not to get someone killed tonight unless they are a nuisance, if there ever will be murdered today, she''ll automatically be in trouble but who cares.

This was going to be fun indeed.

(ANOTHER ENCOUNTER)

It felt like centuries as the duck and the Otsutsuki traversed the through the mazes of the inner areas. They seemed have to be travelling for hours now and still they can't find any source of the light or supposed way out caused by the other explosion to what they have heard from Boruto's conversation with Sarada via the walkie talkie.

It had given them the idea that the battle seemed to have finally started and it give the signal for the rookie blonde to head to the place of event first leaving them in the hideout to recover. Now they were now on their way, catching up as fast as they can and while hurrying up, there was a last opportunity for another conversation to be established.

As they make their way through, they also passed the large number of rooms from both of their sides. Most of the rooms were empty or seemed rather abandoned but somehow they contained tragic memories or negative energy.

It didn't took long enough for them to realized that these rooms were used to house the dying victims of the snakeman's experiments, their spirits were still trapped behind those locked doors. Their voices could still be heard asking for help whoever passed by.

Hailing from the Pure Land himself, Showtaro couldn't help but cringed as he passed by these doors. As much as he wanted to help the spirits trapped, he can't do much since they were in a hurry. It was also wasn't his job to set them free since the council had a division for that and yet they always had been distracted by other incidents resulting the duck to be left with no choice often.

"Is something wrong Showtaro?" He was asked his Otsutsuki friend.

Showtaro simply shook his head." Don't worry, I'm alright, by the time this is all over, I'm going to have to report this to the division, so that they may handle these lost souls." He explained beckoning his friend to observed the locked doors they were passing through.

"I see what you mean." Kaiga simply agreed." But don't you think most of those guys are corrupt?" He asked.

Showtaro simply nodded." Yeah, but some of them still had integrity and I personally knew the good ones." He explained, he was referring to the once competent Soul division of the council, the division itself was responsible for the rescue of lost souls which were still wandering the earth after their deaths.

Incidents involving cases of Soul Trafficking had been on the rise and the efforts of the Soul Division didn't any effect since most of the members there are also involved in these illegal activities as well.

"So much for the Pure Land being an actual heaven." Kaiga commented." That place is slowly turning into a mess." He added.

Showtaro gave a small chuckle." At least in your own world, your people often get to become a harvester of fruit trees." He replied.

Kaiga chuckled." Yeah, that's true." He said, before continuing." My race is obsessed with trees and fruits." He added. He to himself had promised that he would never ever become a part of his clan's toxic culture. He knew that most of them were up to no good, and even the corrupt practice had reached up to the higher levels of the clan's system.

Both Showtaro and Kaiga knew that it was always a risk on trusting their own worlds' governing bodies. The atrocities that these governing bodies had committed throughout the years made them realized that they can't be trusted.

As for now, they were going to let it be as they hurried up towards their destination, not knowing they were heading to a playful trap set by a familiar foe.

(MEANWHILE)



His journey continued.

Mitsue headed towards north, where raven haired teen was located. His quarters were stationed up north and the boy hoped that the Uchiha was still there. It was in the early afternoon and he often expected that the older guy would be in his usual afternoon nap.

Of course, an early alarm clock wouldn't be that bad for the Uchiha.

The boy already had done that before of waking the Uchiha numerous times since they became friends.

He continued his journey by walking faster, he wanted to reached his destination earlier. He had already been enough of living in this place. He just wanted to leave and go home, yet he can't remember the place where he lived before, the faces of his parents to which he too can't even remember.

Was there something wrong?

Why He can't remember them?

Although, He knew every faces of the people here in this hideout and even before the Uchiha teen came here.

Thoughts were finally taking a toll inside the boy's mind. He shook his head and got himself together once more as he focused on his journey.

Traversing in different directions, he automatically knew where to head off to. It was like he had been living in this place for a long time now, which was very surprising for a 10 year old boy like him.

It didn't took long and after awhile had passed, he was finally nearing the place. He had apparently taken the shortcut hence the fact that he had arrived at the area earlier than expected.

The long walk had finally stop into a halt as the boy found himself staring at a massive opening from a few distances away. It looked as if something had changed from the area. The last time he had been there, it was a very dark place, yet right now an exit has appeared accompanied by bright light at the every end and he can also see multiple figures of certain individuals at that place.

It seemed that there was a commotion going on.

Curiousity was slowly taking over him and he immediately started heading towards the newly created exit. He took the first steps and as he neared his destination, his eye caught something out of the blue.

In front of him, there was a figure of a man standing in the middle of the pathway, blocking the newly created exit. His raised both of his eyebrows in confusion as he continued walking towards that certain figure.

As moments passed by, he finally reached the said figure and he widened his eyes to see a familiar silver haired man.

"Kabuto-san?" Mitsue muttered under his breath as he decided to investigate further.

Apparently, the man was just standing there as if he was in a trance. His head was looking down and there was a creepy silent vibe radiating all over him. Yet, he wasn't moving or doing anything.

The boy even tried to poke at the man and he didn't reacted. It brough more confusion and triggered questions inside his mind." What was he doing all the way here?" He thought to himself.

He continued to observed the man, he was beginning to think that he wouldn't be that much of a threat since he was just standing there. A few moments later, his original goal immediately returned back when he moved his attention towards the exit to see the rest of the others.

The boy briefly glanced at the silver haired man before deciding to go pass by him and head to the exit. Although, there was something that he wasn't expecting to happen.

By the time he took his first steps, the man suddenly moved to where he was going and blocked his path. At the same time, the boy was startled.

"Huh?" Mitsue widened his eyes in surprised. He didn't expect that would happened. Was this man really aware?

He then tried to moved to another direction and yet again, the man went with him at the same time and blocked his path.

This was now getting weirder and creepier. For a few seconds the two began a game of crab. The boy tried as best he could to get passed him but the other won't stop blocking his path. This was getting really annoying and looks like he had no choice but to force his way through which means he would have to push or tackle the man to passed him.

Although, when he was about to do that, the man suddenly drew out a kunai, which was filled with glowing chakra that would easily penetrate the skin, and attempted to hit him. Although, the boy managed to evade the attack and stumbled upon backwards falling to the ground.

Mitsue slightly cringed as his butt was the first one to touch the ground. However, it was still not over as by the time he opened his eyes, the silver haired man continued to charged at him.

The moment he saw the man jumping towards him to strike again and the blade directly heading towards him, he immediately scrammed and made a run for it leaving the man to strike the ground instead.

"Oh crap!" Mitsue exclaimed as he found himself running away from the creepy silver haired man who was now chasing him.

What did he gotten himself into?

(MEANWHILE)

The boy was an unexpected newcomer to her playful plan.

It was a surprised at least for her. She hadn't seen this kid before or maybe he was just passing by the area. He doesn't looked like a threat but he somehow knew the four eyed silver haired loser. Her original plan was to have the brainwashed man wait for the duck and the Otsutsuki, although all that had been changed when the boy arrived.

It could also hinder her plan and she needed to act in order to preserved the way it is or maybe she could just wait and keep watch thus maybe something interesting will happen later on.

(A LITTLE LATER ON)

It was an uneventful journey for the duck and Otsutsuki.

It only took less than twenty minutes for them to finally reached the northern area of the hideout where the rookie's chakra trail ended. It was here that they can finally see what appears to be a lone pathway which directly leads to the final exit by the time they turn left at the end.

"Looks like the kid's chakra trail ends right over there." Kaiga was the first one to speak as he pointed towarda the end.

"Good! At least we are finally here." Showtaro said, before continuing on." Plus, We don't have that much time, Let's go!" He added, beckoning the other to hurry up.

Kaiga simply nodded, he was now trying to gather himself up once more. He knew that he will be finally be involve in a fight so he had to come up ways to survived or how he would be dealing this upcoming moment.

He was an Otsutsuki, and He is representing his clan wherever place he goes to. No matter what happens right now, it's still a part of his obligation or duty to show people the right pride of his clan. His clan used to be a peaceful and very-well respected race that fell from grace when the corruption reached the highest of its system.

He was going to show the power and abilities of his clan, yet at the same time, he doesn't even know the basics of how to fight or even used his own fighting abilities.

(Interview)

"Then again, I really assure you guys that Kaiga is nowhere near the bad side of his clan, He is just one of the victims of being judge."

-Showtaro

"I wasn't raised or brought up on the violent side of the clan, my whole family was against that kind of life. The Conquering worlds part."

-Kaiga

Showtaro on the other hand was having the same thoughts as well. In his own view, how can he contribute to the ongoing battle? He was just a small talking duck with no fighting capabilities or maybe he could start being a problem or a distraction for the opposing side like what he did before with Yamato, the kids' sensei.

As they make their way towards the last path way, there was a sudden yell of a boy which they immediately heard followed by seeing a couple of shadows materializing at the end point. Moments later, a boy emerged from the end point, whom seemed to be running away from someone or something.

The two stopped their tracks immediately when they saw the boy and moments later, a familiar silver haired man to Showtaro's eyes." Wait isn't that...?" Showtaro trailed off when saw the man's face. The familiar glasses.

"Nevermind just run!" He exclaimed.

"Run for what?" Kaiga asked. He was confused to what the duck was saying. Although by the time he focused his attention towards the boy and the man, who was wielding a chakra blade, he finally understood what the duck mean't.

"Oh shit!" He exclaimed and swore for the first time. He immediately changed his mind as he began to run back along with the duck, who was already flying ahead of him.

Right now, the boy, the duck, and the Otsutsuki found themselves running from a brainwashed silver haired man, who was maniacally swaying the blade in nearing them.

"Can someone please tell me what the heck is going on!?" Showtaro exclaimed, he was more frustrated than being afraid.

Kaiga was quick to reply." How should I know? I was going to ask you the same question!" He exclaimed back, while also running.

It was at the same time that both of them turned their heads towards the boy, who was behind them desperately running from the man. He had a slight guilty face when he noticed their suspicious faces. Faces that he hadn't seen before, a weird talking duck and a guy who was wearing this weird tattered wardrobe and has big white eyes.

Was he blind?

As he was about to open his mouth, something unexpected prevented him from doing so as he suddenly tripped on a rocky part of the ground causing him to fall.

Showtaro and Kaiga both stopped their tracks." Kid!" Both of them exclaimed as they turned their attention towards him.

At the same time, the silver haired man finally caught up to the kid and quickly grabbed him by the back collar of his shirt, dragging him towards himself as he was going to waste time and will immediately slit the boy's throat. Although that never come into fruition as when he was about to do it, he was suddenly tackled by Showtaro himself, who directly flew towards him in a full speed giving him a blow to the face.

He immediately had let go of the boy as he found himself being sent to the ground.

Showtaro cringed for a bit as he felt dizzy because of the impact that he took by tackling the man on the face. He too landed on the ground and was still recovering.

(Interview)

"This has to be the most violent move I ever done for the first time, Although I agree, it was a very worthy move (Chuckles)"

-Showtaro

The conflict continued again as the man immediately recovered, faster than Showtaro, who grabbed the chakra blade and quickly got up from the ground. The brainwashed man continued his goal as he headed towards the boy and Otsutsuki.

The atmosphere around huge corridor was tense, Showtaro's attacked earlier had a short-lived effect. Kaiga found himself facing the silver haired man all by himself.

"Get behind me kid!" He quickly told the boy to stay away as far as he can. On the other hand, the boy simply nodded as he back himself towards a corner where the silver haired man had no chance of noticing him.

It was all him and the man right now, Kaiga knew where he was going to and he thought that it would be best to defend himself right now as his first battle in his life immediately began in less than ten seconds.

The brainwashed Kabuto wasted no time as he quicky charged towards the defenseless and weaponless Otsutsuki, who had nothing but only his bare hands and a few knowledge of basic combat.

It seemed one-sided as of now, as the silver haired man was more faster and quick as he immediately reached the Otsutsuki in less than seconds, he raised up his chakra blade so that he can strike the him on the face but in an unexpected twist the guy just simply blocked his attack by grabbing his right arm pushing it into another direction.

It was kind of a surprised for everyone in the corridor especially the one who was all behind this chaos.

Mitsue was surprised to see the guy blocked the attack since to him, the silver haired man's strike was already very quick for him. On the other hand, Showtaro had the same reaction as the boy but he was more observant and had noticed something different yet familiar on his friend's eyes.

"Isn't that the..." Showtaro trailed off as the duck observed further.

Right on the Otsutsuki's eyes was a skill that every one from his own race had. It was a natural eye ability that run through his clan's blood. There were many of them, but Kaiga had an eye with a ripple pattern that spreads all over.



It was simply known as the Rinnegan.

As for Kaiga, he himself didn't know what had transpired, he just felt this incredible adrenaline rush inside of him and anticipated the attack as if he knew what would happen next.

It wasn't over as the silver haired man retaliated back with another strike and another but the guy just simply avoided as if he had more faster reflexes than him. After his second and third attacks, Kaiga responded with a simple kick on the man's crotch, which caused him to groan in pain but still had that emotionless brainwashed face.

Showtaro and Mitsue's reactions were priceless, they hadn't expected this kind of thing to happen. Let alone Kaiga showing off some hand to hand combat skills which was very unexpected for a person like him even though he was an Otsutsuki himself.

As Showtaro finally recovered." Guys! Let's go!" He called up the two, beckoning them to follow him back towards the main exit.

As the brainwashed Kabuto was still incapacitated, it finally opened the opportunity for the trio to escape and immediately they did, leaving the area as fast they can.

(MEANWHILE)



From behind the shadows, Yuko stood there with a mixed of frustration and surprise. She didn't expect this to happen, let alone that these three idiots could actually defend themselves.

Thoughts were circling around her mind, wondering if the plan really was successful, yet she was seeing it in a different outcome. An outcome which didn't went to her favor. Where was the fun? She was supposed to be having fun toying with them, How could she let that moment slipped?

However, this wasn't the end, she got most of the area under her control and they won't be escaping this hideout that easily.

She then turned her attention towards the silver haired man, who had finally recovered and was standing and waiting for her instructions.

"What an Idiot!" She commented in annoyance.

Even though, the guy was under her control, he still had flaws and she wondered why this guy had the worst moves ever." Nevermind! Go after them!" She exclaimed and instructed.

"Idiot" She whispered again.

Less than a moment, the silver haired man left the area to chase the others who were way ahead of him.

As for the young woman, She could only expect that their time will eventually come. She wasn't going to back down on this.

(CHAPTER END)

(EXTRA SCENE)



The last thing he saw in those memories was that of two kids that eerily looked like the two newcomers, who seemed to be grown up versions of them. As moments passed by, an unexpected feeling of Deja vu overwhelmed him.

A very familiar scene indeed

Sasuke's world around slowed down as he slowly walked towards the two newcomers. He had a grin in his face to which mean't that this was a challenge in front of him. A real challenge that he had been waiting for a long time.

At the same time, there was this strange feeling of something preventing him to go forth with the fight. But his desire was strong that he ignored those warnings

Before he took the first step, he first observed the two, they look like normal people but somehow right behind these two are stronger individuals that could par on higher levels.

If he had heard correctly from the rest, they were rookies. Although, that really didn't matter to him since he was going to bring out the potential in them as he took his first charged.

As for Boruto and Sarada, the two kept calm as they watched the Uchiha charged at them first. At this little available time they took, they quickly but carefully planned the next step ahead, the blonde quickly took a glanced at his Uchiha teammate, who was focused on analyzing everything.

Boruto waited as he readied himself for the impact. It didn't took long enough for the Uchiha to finally finished her analyzing as she gave a simple nod for them to have the permission to finally charged at towards the guy and they did.

Both Rookies took off at the same time with full speed, with a sole purpose of defeating the rogue Uchiha and possibly bring him back to his home.
