CHAPTER 247 AGREEMENT

CHAPTER 247 AGREEMENT

I came out of the Makuramoto a full second after having entered. Mei stumbled but caught herself as I put my Chikyugi necklace away. Obito and Sasuke fighting with Kakashi and the Raikage, I decided it was best to not get in the middle.

A few more punches were thrown, but the Raikage’s fists went right through Obito. I thought it best to study my future opponent as the fighting continued. Studying Obito with my Haki, I could feel the shift as it happened. Able to send parts of his body to another dimension to prevent them from being hit, it appeared like the Raikage was passing through him.

I was able to sense the Spiritual Energy leaving for the other dimension as it happened. Obito centered it only on parts that the Raikage touched. Some plaster from the wall breaking by the force of one of the blows I subtly bent down and picked it up. Blowing the dust I could feel the Haki move to Obito and latch onto him. Slowly I made a plan on how to beat him.

Back in the manga I was pretty sure Kakashi had dealt with him, but with my Haki and other tools Obito didn’t know about I hoped I could deal with him. After some more failed attempts the Raikage finally gave up. I decided it was time to end the suspense.

“Do you even have the 8-tailed Jinchuriki?” I asked bluntly. That stopped the 2 men from going at one another. Obito hesitated. “You don’t, do you? Let me guess, Killer B gave you the slip.” Obito didn’t answer again. “I mean it makes sense. It takes days for you guys to extract a tailed beast. But here you are, causing trouble.”

“Is this true?” The Raikage asked. “You don’t have him?” No one answered, but if they had him, I felt that they would have gloated about it.

“We,” Obito said. His word stopping Sasuke from his weak duel against Kakashi, everyone quieted to hear them. “Are Akatsuki,” he announced. “We are going to rebuild this world. Making everyone become one. I mean to achieve a complete form which will unite all of us. You people have been fighting for years for what little strength you have, and yet you have nothing to show for it. Passing along the tailed beasts like poker chips to help you feel safe against one another. It makes me sick.”

“No one cares what you think,” the Tsuchikage said. “You are just a terrorist group with some messed up ideals.”

“That may be, but we will succeed,” Obito said. “Despite minor setbacks.” His eye turned to me. I flipped him off. “We will unite the world. Do something never attempted before.”

“As you kidnap and kill the Jinchurikis and take the tailed beasts for yourself,” I said for him. “You are ruining the grand reveal,” I said as I ruined his own grand reveal. But I didn’t like the guy, so it was fine. “But you are a pawn, Obito, just like you are Sasuke. Both of you are dealing with powers you know nothing about. Plans hundreds of years in the making. You think you are in charge? You’re a joke, Obito. Manipulated by a dying man into being your good little soldier.”

“What the hell do you know of it?!” Obito asked, his calm demeanor breaking slightly.

“I know everything, Madara, you, Rin. You’re own fucked up idea of world peace! It’s a joke. And we will stop you,” I said.

“You know nothing,” he said, but he didn’t sound convincing enough. “Give us the Jinchurikis,” he said, directing his words to the Kages. “Give them to us and you will all be spared.”

“Fuck that and fuck you!” The Raikage yelled.

“Hell no,” Kankuro said next to his brother.

“Then this means war,” Obito said, staring at Gaara. “The 4th and final Shinobi war.” Obito grabbed onto Sasuke and they began to be sucked into his cyclone as they moved to another dimension. I was sure this took longer in the manga, but I had thrown Obito off his game. Taking away some of the mysterious villain vibe he had going for him.

Others around the table mumbled to one another awkwardly. Tsunade stood up from her spot as eyes were drawn to her. “It is time to catch you all up on what Akatsuki has been doing,” she said. Looking at me I nodded. I had tried to coach her on what to say, but my knowledge was all over the place. She thought it better that the words ‘I don’t know’ came from me rather than the Hokage.

So I gave them all a quick history on the 10 tailed beast, then how it was broken up. Talking about the god really behind all of this, not all believed, but a few did. I moved into a long tail of my search for Akatsuki. Adding in some covert fabrications here and there I ended up finishing with saving Gaara and Yugito the 2 tailed Jinchuriki.

“The Hokage has been asking for this summit for weeks as we dealt with these issues,” I said. “Akatsuki is more than just some organization. They are stronger than any 1 village. By my count they have 5 of the 9 tailed beasts. Far more than any one nation has held for decades. They have hundreds of thousands of bodies they can throw at a war. Not to mention probably every kage that has ever lived.”

The room was quiet as I finished speaking. I looked to each person. Mei had her game face on once more, but I could see that she didn’t have nearly as much anger in her eyes as she did at the start.

“What do we have then?” The Tsuchikage asked. The old man had been rather quiet during my explanation.

“We have 4 tailed beasts not under their control. Thousands of trained ninjas between our villages. And most important of all, we can find Akatsuki,” Tsunade said. I had told Tsunade that I could track Obito down. After giving her the signal she knew that our plan had succeeded. “We propose a joint effort between all of the ninja clans and our armies. We work together to take down Akatsuki. Before they are ready for us. There is a reason their leader came here today. He is confident in their plan. So our hope is, if we can attack early, we can catch them all off guard.”

“I’m saying shit or get off the pot,” Mei said bluntly. “If you don’t want him, that makes things easier for me. But if you do, then make a decision. Weston here thinks that you’ll go back to that Jinchuriki boy.”

“Mei...” I said, annoyed by her candor attitude.

“What? That’s what you said. Tell me, Hyuga-girl, are you going to run back to someone else? Or are you perhaps waiting for something from Weston?” Mei moved to stand in front of Hinata. “Did you know he saved my life? Has he ever saved yours? In my village we were willing to give our lives for one another, is it not the same with the Hidden Leaf? Willing to give your life? But can’t answer the man a simple question? My, you blush easily. Are you perhaps a voyeur? Someone that likes to watch. No, that’s not it. Maybe you are just a little repressed. Didn’t get enough attention from daddy?”

“Mei that’s enough,” I said, walking up. Pulling her away I could see Hinata’s face was beet red as she took the onslaught of questions.

“I am simply trying to help,” Mei said confidently. “She obviously likes you, but she doesn’t know how to express it.”

“And what? You’re fine with sharing now?” I whispered.

“I like women,” Mei said with a shrug. “If I was willing to accept your maids, what’s one more? Especially a beautiful girl like her?”

I studied Mei for a moment, surprised by her admission. I had known she had women lovers. Her past male ones had left deep emotional scars in her. It had taken me saving her life for her to accept me wholeheartedly. Giving me a slight wink I couldn’t help but shake my head. “I love you,” I whispered. She smiled brighter.

Turning around to Hinata the girl hadn’t moved. Her eyes still looking down slightly I risked it. Approaching her slowly, I stopped a pace away.

“I’m sorry that I’m not Naruto,” I said. “I don’t want to be Hokage. I have weird skills that aren’t related to fighting whatsoever. And I can’t be just with you.” I let out a sigh. “But I still want you. I want to be with you. Walk you home. Build our relationship back up to what it was, then go beyond. Back when I was told we were engaged, I was excited. I knew you would become the beauty you are today, and the time I spent with you let me know that I wanted to be with you more.”

I moved closer. Her Spiritual Enegy aflame with excitement and longing. I lifted her chin so her eyes would face me. “I was warned not to touch you when we got engaged. If you don’t want me to, simply say something, and I will stop at any time.” It was the only thing I could think of to express myself.

I drew closer and closer to her until our lips met. It had been a long time since we kissed. At least a long time for me. Hinata’s thick lips were rigid to start, but as my body moved closer and my hands moved to her side she got more into it. Gasping as our lips opened and met again she moved her tongue into my mouth first.

Her body shaking as she did so, I let my hands wander on her body. She still hadn’t said a word to me, but this was further than we had gone in a while.

Her body rocking forward into me Hinata moaned loudly as her legs quivered. No Lust. Just me as I focused my attention on her. For long seconds we stayed like that then as if something passed she let out a long sigh, pulling away slightly as she studied me.

“I don’t want anyone else,” she whispered. “I just can’t say this sort of stuff.”

“That’s fine. I simply want to know where we stand,” I admitted. “I’m done saying sorry. So will you stay mine?”

She bit her lip, looking over to Mei behind me. “What about her?” Hinata asked.

“This is Mei, the Mizukage,” I said, pulling away. Mei walked up, as confident as ever as she stopped between us. “We have plans for the future. And I want you to be a part of them.”

“What kind of plans?” Hinata asked.

Instead of answering, Mei drew closer and kissed Hinata on the lips. A simple quick peck she was in and out instantly. “Big plans. World shattering plans. But for now, we will deal with Akatsuki.”

“Yep,” I said, kissing Hinata on the cheek to snap her out of it. “It will take time and effort, but I think it will pay off in the end. Come on,” I said as I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me. Mei took my other hand and we walked through the woods talking about our own world domination ideas as we walked under the moonlight.
