Chapter 50 - 50. Saiken

The calmness took over, leaving behind the devastated jungle. Shisui was back in his normal form now, Zabuza had also arrived, pretty late.

Saiken... well... the Jinchuriki of Saiken was now unconscious, and Shiroken did not know if Saiken could hear him in this state. He just wanted to get the big friendly slug out quickly and give him a hug. Throughout his childhood, Saiken was the most caring and fun to be around. Son Goku was also there on the most fun list, but he only liked physically playing, while Saiken let him eat tasty things. ​​

Also, Saiken was the most worried one about him and other tailed beasts, so now Shiroken wanted to bring some peace to him, showing that he was fine and things will be okay soon. The humans will learn their lesson, for the most part, without even knowing who taught it.

"So, what should we do now, Lord Dama?" Shisui asked.

"We will take Utakata with us to Dama country first, only there will I try to extract him because my clan does not fear them, it won't matter even if Saiken gets out of control." He planned and picked up Utakata's body on his shoulder like a sack of rice.

While they headed back to the village, Shisui asked him a question, "How did you make me unleash the full Susanoo?"

"Simple, you lacked Chakra, I gave you exactly that, though not exactly the same Chakra as you all use," Shiroken explained.

"How? How can you give me your Chakra?" He inquired.

Shiroken laughed, "You cheeky boy, I won't tell you anymore unless you tell me who took your eye. Do you expect me to tell all my secrets to someone who still wants to bleed for the village that betrayed him in the first place? Learn to value yourself first, only then can you reach your full potential. Don't be a sheep, be a fox, a smart fox who makes his own decisions."

It was right, Shisui for the most part in his life only did what others told him to. First, it was the Hokage, then Danzo. And when he finally decided to use his own mind and use the Kotoamatsukami, he was betrayed by the so-called peacekeepers of the village. If he was not stopped that day, the Uchiha clan would still have been living in peace, as one with the village.

With a silence between them, they reached the village and rested at the place Haku was staying. Shiroken just gave the family some money and it was all good.

He also put Utakata in a room with some seals, which would alert him if he wakes up or even moves.

"Brother Shiro, what was all that big booms and screams? They were scary." Haku asked him curiously.

"It was nothing, some bad people were fighting among themselves. We just stopped them. Ah, I told you we'd eat dumplings, right? Let's eat then." Shiroken took out a scroll and unsealed it, presenting a large bamboo container, filled to the brim with dumplings, there were all kinds of dumplings, vegetable dumplings, meat dumplings, fish dumplings, ramen dumplings, pickle dumplings, cheese dumplings. Tofu dumplings. But, Shiroken's favourites were the pickle, meat and tofu ones.

"WOAH! This is bigger than even me, big brother." Haku exclaimed seeing the tower-like container. He jumped and tried to get on top of it to see inside.

Shiroken chuckled and lifted him onto his shoulder. Shiro knew that Haku was just having fun because he was a ninja and climbing trees was as easy as walking to him so what was this box?

But, seeing Haku on his shoulder, the little boy in the house, named Inari, felt jealous. So, Shiroken picked him up and put him on Haku's shoulder.

"HAHAHAAA... we are now the great tower of the Country of Waves. We shall punish all the bad men." Shiroken playfully acted.

The two kids on his shoulder enjoyed it greatly and also started to play. Meanwhile, Inari's mother heated up the dumplings and also made some sauces to eat alongside them.

"ZABUZA... come here, play with us," Shiroken ordered.

Zabuza grunted and left his seat in the corner of the room. He was acting like sleeping by resting his head on the sword, but he was still aware of what was happening around him.

"Okay, Zabuza, you will be the bad man, and we, the Tower of Justice shall defeat you." Shiroken planned.

Zabuza protested immediately, "Why do I get to become the bad man? There is Shisui too."

"Because you look and act like a bad man, aren't I right, kiddies?" Shiroken asked them.

*Sigh*

"Fine," Zabuza accepted the jab at his looks. He only covered his mouth because he was conscious of it. Since he was small, many of his friends had made fun of him. As he grew up and distanced himself from the people, he covered his face.

"Shisui, come here, you are to provide sound effects," Shiroken ordered him.

Shisui was already sitting by the table nearby, he just turned his chair to them and focused.

"OKAY! Here we go my army." Shiroken carefully walked to Zabuza. Haku and Inari had a small stick in their hands. Inari's was nearly touching the ceiling of the room.

They tried to beat Zabuza with it, but Shiroken knew that Zabuza was a party pooper, as he tried to cut the sticks with his kunai, but Shiroken caught the kunai and transfigured it into an iron flower.

*BONK*

"AHAHA... I HIT HIM! I HIT HIM!" Haku was able to hit Zabuza on the head and cheered.

"BAM" Shisui gave the sound effect.

They all turned to him. Shiroken laughingly said, "Shisui, you're are just about 3 seconds late. Umm, fasten your sounds a bit."

~Do you have any idea how hard it is to see without seeing?~ Shisui muttered under his breath.

"BAM!"

The game continued, Shiroken again let Haku and Inari hit Zabuza on his head.

"You were 3 seconds earlier this time, Shisui. Focus, boy, focus." Shiroken advised him.

They played the game for a few more minutes, by then the food was ready and they all were starving. The table was originally small but Shiroken's wood release solved that in an instant.

Tazuna, Inari's grandpa and a very experienced bridge builder thanked him. "It feels so good to eat with family… Without having to worry about what might happen to us tomorrow because of Gato. Thank you, Lord Daimyo. We don't care if you are the real one or not, to us, for what you did, you are the only one."

"It's fine, easy work, let's eat now." Shiroken shrugged and just ate merrily.

*BEEP BEEP BOOP BOOP*

All of a sudden a small talisman in Shiroken's pocket started to make a sound. He immediately got up, "AH! It's him, he woke up. You guys eat, I will be back."

He rushed upstairs into the room Utakata was put. He was tightly tied with a metal rod. When he arrived Utakata was trying to get out of it.

"Who are you?" Utakata asked, noticing him.

But Shiroken ignored him and grabbed him by his shoulder, "SAIKEN! CAN YOU HEAR ME?"

Getting no response, he asked. "Where is your seal?"

Before Utakata could say, Shiroken had forcefully taken down the man's kimono and had put his hand on the seal mark on his stomach.

"SAIKEN!"

"SHIROOOOOO... IS THAT YOU?" Saiken's soft yet heavy voice came.

"YES SAIKEN! IT'S ME! YOUR SHIRO!" Shiroken rejoiced, finally hearing Saiken's voice.

"I'M HERE TOO!" Isobu also spoke.

"You? I thought something happened to you after they took you. YES! I'm so happy, Shiro, you are safe." Saiken cheered. Years of tension in his mind just vanished and now happiness took its place. He always used to worry about where Shiroken was and if he was even alive. He even wanted to find him, which is why he tried to kill his Jinchuriki whenever he got the chance. He was in a maddened state this whole time.

"Saiken, don't worry, I think I have found a way to take you out without killing the Jinchuriki. But, I will only do this if the Jinchuriki is a good man, if he's bad, I will just extract you." Shiroken told him his decision.

"Hmm, Utakata is not bad, I was sealed in him when he was small. He had nobody he could count on and hated fighting for the blood mist village. OH! Did you find anyone else?" Saiken inquired excitedly.

"Of course, we found Kurama, but he did some very bad things and due to him a boy was orphaned, forced to live a sad ostracised life. Isobu said we should punish him later for getting into all that mess after we're all together. So, I have left him for the last." Shiroken enthusiastically told him everything.

He then let go of Utakata and moved a few steps back. He felt like crying right now, as emotions rose in his body, along with the memories of the good old days. "We can talk remotely now. Everyone survived, Saiken. We have established our own country now, and it's called Dama Country. Hehe, a country where people love you. Children love the stuffed toy made with your shape in mind."

"Really? Kids like me? ALL RIGHT! I will make tasty cakes for them then." Saiken was just like before. Maybe his bias towards humans had increased a little, but he was a level headed being and would not hate kids, especially those from Dama village.

"We will be staying in this village for a while. Then we will go home. Utakata, you can later return to your village, I have established a new government there, as the last Mizukage died. Now Mei is the Mizukage." He advised.

Utakata was taken aback, so much had happened and he didn't even know. "W-Where are you taking me? I have not agreed to anything yet."

Shiroken replied with a very big, threatening smile, "I was not asking, boy."
