Chapter 201: Mist Shadow Booty - 8

...Wait.

Something Daiki said not long ago clicked for her. He had alluded to information he had about Yagura that he had obtained through the Sanbi. And now bringing up the Akatsuki.

Did he know the truth behind Yagura?

If the Sanbi was truly working with Daiki, it meant he would be privy to everything Yagura ever knew as well. And everything the Sanbi had learned of their village since they first started creating Jinchuuriki for it at the inception of their village.

"As for the rest, well Orochimaru stole them at some point," Daiki continued giving an annoyed sigh, "Honestly, that guy is one of the biggest ever embarrassments to the Leaf. It might take a little while, but I'll take care of him in the future as well and get them back for you."

Mei blinked, putting aside the possible thoughts of Yagura and the Akatsuki, "That's quite the claim to make," she pointed out, "Indeed the Hokage did claim you had his full backing and authority for these negotiations, but promising the slaying of Orochimaru of all people, is a bit much no?"

The confidence with which he said it, was very attractive. But, she still had to wonder. Just where did such confidence stem from to promise such a thing?

"It's not the old mans authority I'm claiming that with, it's mine," he said and Mei blinked as the teenager leaned across her desk fully to cup her chin, "You're talking to the one next in line to be Hokage sweet cheeks, I've already been chosen to become the Godaime Hokage."

Oh....

Oh!

Her eyes flew wide open in shock. "Hokage, at your age?!" she could not help but splutter. If true, he would be the youngest ever sitting Kage of the five great nations.

And of the strongest and most affluent of them all at that.

She of course knew he was powerful, being a truly perfect Jinchuuriki alone brought that to the table. Even Yagura was not a truly perfect Jinchuuriki. He could call upon the full power of the Sanbi, but he was not in full cooperation with the Bijuu like Killer Bee was with the Hachibi. It meant that there was always a clash of wills even with the subdued Sanbi that bled off some of the total power, and left Yagura without the genjutsu immunity true perfect Jinchuuriki had.

But simply being a perfect Jinchuuriki would not be enough to be made a Kage, never mind of the Hidden Leaf Village. Yagura after all, was her equal if not better even without the use of his Bijuu. It meant, that the God of Shinobi himself considered Daiki strong enough to hold the position of Hokage even without the power of the Sanbi.

'And at such a young age. True the Leaf are known for the absurd amount of young prodigies they churn out, but this is beyond even that.' her thoughts raced.

Daiki it seemed, was a truly remarkable individual.

A brother to the almighty sage as well who was just as powerful!?

'I just learned of something both incredible and terrifying.' Mei thought, awed.

Assuming it was true of course.

"Upon his deathbed, to stop the beast from reforming when he passed, the Sage of Six Paths split the Juubi's chakra into nine different parts," Daiki continued on, "And created the moon to seal its physical body within."

Such a fantastical thing. She had of course heard the Sage Of Six Paths had created the moon. Most children had heard of that fairy tale.

"That seems too fantastical to be true." Mei shook her head. The sage was truly a godlike being, there was no doubt. But creating the moon itself, how would one even accomplish such a thing? No matter their power?

"Trust me, it's true," Daiki shrugged, "The creation of the moon was made through a jutsu known as Chibaku Tensei. An innate technique that is natural to those who possess the Rinnegan."

The Rinnegan. The greatest and most powerful, the most legendary of the three great dojutsu. The eyes of a god.

"And how would you know that?" Mei questioned him seriously, "I don't wish to call you a liar Daiki-kun, but this tale is fantastical beyond belief. I assume this is something you heard from the Sanbi? What if it is just manipulating you? The Rinnegan has never before been seen by anyone in this age, and we have no proof they even existed."

"Valid concerns, but trust me, they're real," he chuckled, not breaking his eye contact with her, "After all, the leader of the Akatsuki has the Rinnegan."

.....Oh....

Well now, didn't that change everything?

Suddenly, a lot of things began to click into place. After all, it had always bothered her. Just what kind of person had the power to control a man as mighty and powerful as Yagura? Just what kind of person had the kind of power required to completely twist someone like Yagura completely against their nature?

But if it was someone with the same eyes as the Sage Of Six Paths himself. Then, it was definitely doable.

Sorry I ain't been posting much the last few days, I've been a bit busy dealing with things dealing around my mother and her funeral and such. Got a date set now for 3rd of September. Just checked back today and had to roll my eyes, some loser had literally went and left 1/5 reviews spamming the word 'shit' hundreds of times on all my stories. Salty little bitch, honestly if you're gonna hate on me at least make not so sad.
