Chapter 35 - New kekkei genkai?

Looking suspiciously at Minato, but not losing anything from saying it, he answered: "I'm Kajura, now hurry up and give me all your belongings!" He began to become impatient and looked at the entrance of the alley, seemingly aware that if he doesn't hurry up, somebody else will come and snatch his loot.

Meanwhile, Minato couldn't help but laugh, this trip was not wasted at all! 'Lighting God Kajura from a Naruto filler, possessing the Magnet release kekkei genkai, able to control the iron sand like the third Kazekage! I thought that I will not have the chance to obtain this particular bloodline because by the time I grow powerful enough to kill the Kazekage stealthily, Sasori would have turned him into a puppet and there would be no blood to absorb, and here I find another one, today is my lucky day!'

Thinking that Minato was mocking him, Kajura was enraged and rushed at Minato with his colleagues in tow.

Seeing that, Minato lost his smile and look at those guy that came with Kajura in pity 'I should hurry up, I must wrap this up before Jiraya finished his things and looks for me'

Minato took a kunai from his lotus tattoo, having lost his interest in sparing them the moment he knew that this guy was one of his prey, and entered the fray at full speed, disappearing completely from their views with just his body speed, without using chakra, not wanting to alert Jiraya.

"Where did he go?" Shocked, Kajura and the others looked frantically around, knowing that this time they kicked an iron plate. And seeing the look of this guy before disappearing, they somehow sensed that something foreboding is going to happen.

Slash

Hearing a soft sound, Kajura turned around and was shocked to see the guy behind him beheaded, with his head still rising from the body with the same enraged expression as before, unaware that he died, and Minato disappearing again silently.

Without allowing them to react, Minato used his speed again and slash two times, killing two more of them.

Still not satisfied, he continued his onslaught, and before they could comprehend the situation, they all died apart from Kajura, with terror in their eyes, still stuck on the first victim.

Bam, Bam, Bam

By the time he reappeared before Kajura, all the bodies of Kajura's comrades hit the floor, with their heads rolling around. Not even a small drop of blood could be seen on Minato. He killed them easily, after all, they were just normal civilians, cutting them is like cutting Buggy the clown.

Does he feel guilty to kill children? Not at all, even if he somehow grew soft, the only people that really mattered to him are Kushina, Mikoto and Tsume, and maybe a bit Dai and his family. Even then if it comes to it, he wouldn't mind sacrificing the latter if it's beneficial to him. The only people that he will protect from anything are those three girls, nobody else for now. The rest of the world could all die for all he cares. Even if he became more and more soft for his loved ones, he doesn't intend to make the error to be the same with others.

And those guys had nefarious thoughts about him. If Kajura was not here, he would have taught them a lesson and be done with it, but he has some experiment of his ability that he always wanted to try, but was unwilling to do on the girls back at home because of the highs risks.

He needs the guy alive to do it, and unfortunately for Kajura's group, nobody could see him kidnap him, after all, the slightest clue that he left behind could become his downfall, and he will not let something silly like sympathy for strangers dictate his course of action. He lost those sorts of feelings long ago. This was the first time since coming to this world that he displayed his real personality for strangers, always constrained to act as a good kid in Konoha to not arouse suspicion.

Kajura was scared shitless but nonetheless recuperate quickly, having already seen such scenes in those last few months. He was ready to use his special ability, thinking that if he could surprise this guy, he could somehow leave here alive.

Seeing the movements of Kajura's chakra with his now two tomoes Sharingan, Minato knew that this guy had activated his kekkei genkai and was fresh blood for the picking. He left him alive to see if that was the case, he did not know what will happen if he absorbed blood not unlocked. Having verified that, he has no interest in delaying anymore, and without bothering to trash talk, he put his kunai back in his tattoo to not have it used against him and disappeared. Reappearing behind Kajura, he knocked him out.

'Hm, I don't have time to clean it alone, I need to use my clones without alerting Jiraya. Thankfully I came prepared'

Thinking so, he took out some papers from his tattoo, on which were drawn chakra hiding seal. He place those seals around the 'scene' in a rectangular formation and activated them. With that, everything he does will not be detected.

Making multiple clones and having them clean the scene, Minato took Kajura on his shoulder, and applying a small genjutsu around them with his Sharingan to make them invisible while applying one such seal on his clothes to hide his chakra, sneak out of town in search of a small isolated place where he could begin his test while avoiding human presences.

After Minato and his clones disappeared, some people entered the alley, but not seeing anybody here, they cursed. The leading man quickly has his guys dispatched to search for the small group of kids and snatch the loot, unaware that they will not find them anywhere in the land of livings. Sometime later, people will become aware that they disappear, but nobody will even bother to investigate the fate of street rats.

Meanwhile, Minato successfully sneaked out of the village unseen, and after five minutes of wandering, found a hidden cave in some rocks. It was not his brightest idea to leave the small settlement, because the land outside was really barren with only rocks everywhere, not a really good place to hide. Thankfully he found that cave, if not he would have to return and run the risk to encountering Jiraya, who should have finished his task or be soon done with it and look for him in the village.

Not willing to lose any more time, he dropped Kajura on the floor and began. First, he placed a stasis seal on his head, with it Kajura will not wake up anytime soon. He then made a cut on Kajura's hand and pour the blood that comes from it in a bowl that he took from his lotus seal, in which he has put all he needs for all sorts of situations.

Covering the bowl and setting it aside from the time being, he cut Kajura clothes, exposing his ċhėst.

"Will his blood heart be different like mine? I doubt that it will be, but who knows? Kekkei genkai and chakra are supernatural, so maybe they are differences between body constitutions. I must at least verify it one time"

He then cut open Kagura's ċhėst, and following the sensation of his hyper intuition, stopped just before piercing his heart. Plunging his hand in the opening, he retrieved the heart in one swift move cutting apart the arteries, and dump it in another bowl that he prepared beforehand.

Not wasting any time, he carefully cut open the heart, and observe the interior of it.

Not seeing any floating blood, or even difference between the blood from the hand and that of his heart, he confirmed that other people don't possess 'blood source', and that it doesn't matter which blood he absorbs. So killing his targets is not a priority.

Having finished his experiment, he gulped down the bowl of blood that he filled earlier, a far larger quantity than he absorbed from the girls' blood, trying to see if quantity make a difference if there is no quality difference.

The habitual suction force that came when he absorbs a new bloodline came from his heart, and in no time at all, all of it was absorbed by the black drop of blood, that he decided to call Bloodline's Devourer.

A small filament of Kajura's blood, the same size at last time, exited the black drop of blood and merged with the blood inside his heart, which was pumped out and traveled his whole body, changing the whole blood constitution inside of him slowly but surely.

With that, he confirmed that it didn't matter how much blood he absorbs, and can't make a bloodline more dominant and present compared to another.

Having finished with his experiments, he looks at Kajura's dying body and 'emptied' all his blood into vials, who knows if it will be useful for him later. Not finding any other use for this mummy-like corpse, he just disposed of it, having no intention of keeping a useless corpse on him.
