Chapter 97 - Cap 90: What kind of idiot created this law?!

* * * [With Jiraiya, the night before] * * *

"What do you want, Jiraiya?" - asked Hiruzen as he looked at his student - "I was getting ready to go home..."

"Old man, I came to warn you about something important" - answered the Sannin seriously.

"Tell me" - Hiruzen's expression became serious with those single words - "What is it?"

Jiraiya started explaining the whole situation calmly while Hiruzen kept his silence.

"I need more than suppositions to be able to do something, Jiraiya" - said Hiruzen as he shook his head.

"Old man!" - exclaimed the Sannin.

"I'm serious, Jiraiya," replied the Sandaime seriously. "But that doesn't mean I won't do anything... after all, it's better to be safe than sorry"

"That's the spirit, man!" - smiled the Sannin - "What do you have in mind?"

" At the moment, nothing," the Hokage denied. "If I make a sudden move, it is possible that not only Orochimaru, who I am sure has to be hiding somewhere in Konoha because Kurama-kun damaged him greatly, will escape and we will lose the chance to catch him"

"What do you think of Suna?" - Jiraiya asked.

"I have found it strange since I received the information that we have a Jinchuriki that could explode at any moment," answered Hiruzen. "A decision that should not have been made by Rasa because it could create questions on our part when we discover this situation. That boy Gaara is not a simple Genin, he is a person who in the wrong situations could destroy half of Konoha"

"I thought so too", murmured Jiraiya as he shook his head, "I've done my part, what happens now is your decision".

"Are you leaving already?" - asked Hiruzen as he looked at his student - "Don't you want to come for a drink at my place? You don't often come to see this old man, much less talk."

"If you were a woman and about 40 years younger, I would accept without even thinking twice" - snorted the Sannin - "Ok, come on... I want to know some things too"

"Let me finish this report," sighed the Sandaime. "I still don't understand how the solution ended up being worse than the disease..."

"What do you mean, old man?" - asked Jiraiya with a scowl.

"Read this and you will understand," sighed Hiruzen as he handed him a doc.u.ment.

"Let's see... Paragraph 7, Section B of the new clone rights law..." murmured the Sannin - "What kind of a dumbass creates a thing like this?!"

". . ." - Hiruzen was only silence as he gave his student an apathetic glance.

"Oh... I'm sorry about that..." - murmured the white-haired man.

"Don't worry... I feel like a fool too..." - sighed the Sandaime - "It all started because I took advantage of the Kage Bunshin. What I did not know was that by having a short life span, they were much more 'carefree' with their actions, to the point that they found more and more ways to make my job difficult, until one day they had the idea of creating this law... I don't think I need to explain any further..."

"My condolences, old man" - sighed the Sannin - "Do you want help?"

"Yes... you could take my place as Hokage" - nodded the Sandaime.

"Don't even think about it, I'm not going to spend my last days behind a desk with a shitty law like this" - snorted Jiraiya as he pointed to the Clone Rights Act - "Only an idiot would do that, not to mention that I have an Espionage Network to lead and a book to write..."

"I knew you'd say something like that," sighed Hiruzen as he returned to work. "Not to mention that Konoha would be frowned upon if we were led by a man who writes e.r.o.t.i.c books despite how good they are"

"A pity indeed... I would take Konoha to a golden era" - sighed Jiraiya - "First, I would enable polygamy and create a harem for myself, second, I would make the kunoichis' clothes more suggestive, third, I would increase the number of brothels, fourth, I would turn all the hot springs into mixed baths, fifth..."

"Yes... we'd better leave things as they are" - denied Hiruzen.

"I expected more from you, sensei" - snorted Jiraiya.

"Just pass me the doc.u.ments" - replied the Sandaime while taking the bridge of his nose - "I'm too old for all this shit"

Kurama was walking the streets of Konoha in silence with a medical mask and sunglasses - "This costume is foolproof..."

"Hello, Kurama" - said Iruka as he passed by.

". . ." - Kurama just shook his head - "There is always a small percentage of failure."

The redhead continued to walk calmly and to his relief, no one seemed to be paying attention to him.

"Pff... if they can't discover a blond boy dressed completely in an orange jumpsuit while painting the Hokage monument, I don't think they will discover me while wearing this impressive costume" - thought Kurama as he walked towards Ichiraku.

The redhead continued his journey until after a few minutes, he finally reached his destination.

"Welcome to Ichiraku, my name is Ayame and I will be your waitress" - said Ayame when she saw the person in front of her - "Table for one or two?"

"Don't you recognize me, Ayame Nee?" - asked Kurama in surprise.

"I ask you please not to talk to me so familiarly, now... could you tell me what kind of table you need?" - asked the brown-haired girl as she frowned.

"I guess this costume is as foolproof as I thought," nodded the boy.

"If you're going to insult me, then you'd better leave because... Otouto?!" - exclaimed the girl when she saw the boy take off his mask and glasses - "Is it you?!"

"Heh, it's the perfect disguise" - smiled the redhead but let out a little scream when he felt the girl hit him on the head - "Ach! Why was that?!"

"For calling me an idiot!" - exclaimed the girl angrily - "Why are you using all that?!"

"Don't you even know about Sekkusu Kami-sama's shit?" - asked the young Uzumaki.

"Yes... but I honestly decided that it wasn't you the one they were talking about" - answered Ayame seriously - "It would be uncomfortable... not to mention that many of my friends want to meet you..."

"Yes... that won't happen" - sighed the redhead - "Anyway, I want a table for one... if possible as soon as possible because I don't want someone to discover me"

"No problem with that" - the girl nodded - "I recommend you to put your disguise back on because we are busy today"

"Okay, thanks for the information" - Kurama quickly put on his mask and glasses so he could go in peacefully. All he wanted to do was eat something quiet, but before he could take a step, he noticed someone standing in front of him - "Do you need anything?"

". . ." - the person in front of him just kept quiet.

"If it's nothing, I'd better be on my way," said Kurama as he walked again.

"Wait, Sekkusu Kami-sama!" - the person exclaimed, proving by her tone that she was a woman.

"I think you have the wrong person, miss," said Kurama as he tried to walk again, but to his annoyance, another woman blocked his path - "I am going to ask you again... do you need anything?"

"Yes..." - nodded the one who seemed to be their leader - "We want to convert to your religion!"

"I'll say it again, you've got the wrong person..." - said Kurama seriously - "I'm just an ordinary person who wants to eat something delicious"

With a quick movement, he created a clone transformed into a fly and sent it to the entrance of the restaurant to wait for his signal.

"I'm sure we have the right person..." - said the woman seriously - "I saw what you looked like when you took off your disguise so I can assure you it's you"

" You' re not going to leave me alone... are you?" - sighed the redheaded man as he shook his head.

"Sekkusu Kami-sama!" - was heard outside the restaurant.

"Shit!" - The Clone acted surprised as he ran away at full speed.

"Please wait, Sekkusu Kami-sama!" - exclaimed one woman as a second hunt began.

"I think that proves my identity..." - said Kurama in annoyance.

"If you are not trying to cover yourself... why are you wearing that mask and glasses?" - asked one of the women.

"Because I'm sick and don't want to infect anyone," answered Kurama with even more annoyance. "The glasses are because I've been locked up for a long time and my eyes haven't gotten used to the light... Do I have to keep answering your questions about my private life?"

The woman was about to say something else but was interrupted by the group leader - "We're sorry that things ended up this way..."

"Just don't repeat this anymore..." - said Kurama as he walked calmly, only this time no one stopped him - "There are times when a few words can do more harm than a physical blow"

"Let's go back to the hospital" - said the leader.

"But..." - muttered one of the other women.

"I know... he is Sekkusu Kami-sama" - said the leader - "But we don't have the time to go on with this, remember that our break is about to end... not to mention that we didn't have the best first impression"

". . ." - the girls were silent when they heard this.

"Sorry girls, the bathroom was occupied" - said a pretty woman with a tender face that was a great contrast to her seductive body - "Did I miss anything?"

"It was nothing, Hikari-chan" - smiled the leader - "It's time to go back"
