Chapter 195: Mist Shadow Booty - 2
If he became Hokage after the chunin exams, and after he became fourteen, would that make him the youngest kage ever?
Old man Sarutobi became Hokage when he was like sixteen or seventeen. And Gaara of course hadn't become the Kazekage in this timeline yet. And he didn't even know if he would really.
Well, whatever it didn't really matter right now. And he could think later on just who would be better to give the Ray Bow to going forward. Besides, he could probably make one if he wanted in the future once he had mastered the seals inscribed within.
Better even considering his plans when it came to chakra ore. Which really brought up the question just why the Marlin Harpoon and Ray Bow weren't made of chakra ore to begin with, because there should be no problem doing so.
But whatever.
"Look alive kid, looks like a big shot is coming out to get us." Anko said, nudging him on the shoulder.
"I know, I saw him or rather them." Daiki shrugged. His mind might be wandering, but his eyes weren't.
Two people were making a beeline towards them. Chakra capacity wise, they both stood a head above anyone else in the port, including the hidden Anbu.
One of them had nearly as much chakra as Anko, while the other had a little bit below.
The stronger of the two chakra capacity wise was a man of average height and slim build, dressed in a blue kimono like outfit, with dark blue hair and a single eye patch over one of his eyes, while the other was a younger man, a bit shorter than Daiki himself with a lean build, light blue hair and rectangular glasses, twin hilts jutting from a bandage encased item atop his back.
'Ao and Chojuro, huh?' Daiki mused inwardly. The two hands of the Mizukage, more or less from what he knew and the chosen guards Mei had during the Five Kage Summit in the other timeline.
One a wielder of a stolen Byakugan, the other the only remaining loyal member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen Of The Mist and the wielder of Hiramekarei, the Great Twin Blades.
Daiki's eyes were on Chojuro as the two approached, or rather he peered straight through the older boy and was examining the blades atop his back.
To his disappoint, while like the Kiba Blades and Kubikiribocho they were engraved with many seals within, it wasn't any seals he hadn't already seen before.
In fact, it was the same chakra amplification seal within the Ray Bow, and a similar, yet inferior chakra shaping seal that allowed the Ray Bow to manifest chakra as energy physical arrows.
...Which actually put it below the Ray Bow in terms of seal work.
'Well, that sucks.' Daiki clicked his tongue. But he supposed, not everything was going to be a way for him to improve.
It also once again highlighted the fact that another of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's weapons, were definitely of Uzumaki make.
And that would be incredibly useful going forward with these negotiations. After all, as Naruto was apart of Konoha and Konoha was the only ally of the Uzumaki, they were the ones with a real claim to the blades.
"So Chojuro," Daiki casually fell in line with the older blue haired boy and struck up conversation, "You're a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen then, that's impressive."
"Eh...ah, n-no not really I still have a long way t-to go until I catch up to my predecessors." the older boy replied sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"You're pretty young though and already been chosen to wield Hiramekarei," Daiki pointed out, "That's pretty impressive." he praised.
"Ah-ha...you think?" the older boy flushed at the praise.
Somebody needed to get this guy laid. It would do wonders for that timid personality.
"Definitely," Daiki continued smiling, "I'm quite well aware how strong someone has to be to be, to be chosen to join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, I actually fought a former member a few months ago, and a friend of mine fought another."
Chojuro's eyes widened in shock, but before he could stutter out a reply, Ao's head whipped around to stare right at him with a severe intensity burning in his one visible eye, "You what?!" he asked, "Who, and where might I ask? We've been trying to track a bunch of those fools down for a while now."
"Well my friend and his team fought Zabuza Momochi over in Wave, he attacked them during a mission," Daiki shrugged casually, like it was no big deal. It was time to apply the pressure already after all, "And I came across Raiga Kurosaki, he had teamed up with a few bastards from another village, he had big plans to attack Konoha in fact. So I killed him."
If possible Chojuro's eyes widened even further, "W-wait y-you were the one who k-k...killed Raiga?!" he gasped out in shock.
"Among a few others at the time." Daiki shrugged.
"I see," Ao's eye narrowed at him, "You wouldn't happen to know then what happened to our weapons that he absconded with when he betrayed us, would you?"
Daiki continued smiling pleasantly, "I might," he replied easily with another shrug, "But that isn't really here nor there right now, is it?"
Ao visibly bit the inside of his cheek to stop himself from snapping. After all, Daiki couldn't have been more obvious he was in possession of the Kiba Blades even if he just came out and said it.
Even so, his old man temper was easily frayed by young bucks like him. Daiki could see very minute little twitch in his skin with the Shinkugan, no matter the emotional control he had.
Daiki's smile widened, "That's a nice eye you've got under that eyepatch by the way," he cut him before he could say anything in reply, "I'm good friends with a few girls from a clan who all have eyes just like that one."
Ao froze.

So yeah, here we are again with another chapter. I wanted tog et back into uploading daily again, but I'll probably not for a little while. To be frank, my mother abruptly died yesterday, passed away out of the blue, a stroke we think but won't know until we get the results back on the post mortem. As always life loves to kick me when I'm down.
