Chapter 487: Revenge
Memories flooded Shigeki's brain as he recalled the answer to Kanji's question. He had prepared himself for an extremely difficult battle when he and Fujin were moving towards Tanigakure. In fact, he was surprised when Fujin claimed that he could help take revenge with just the two of them despite seeing a portion of his strength. They would have to pass through several layers of defenses to reach Kanji.
For the first time in his life, Shigeki discovered how convenient it was to work alongside a Fuinjutsu Grandmaster. Is the wall around the village covered with seals and a barrier? Not an issue. Fujin created a small hole in the barrier which went undetected. He freely manipulated the seals on the wall and the two of them entered the hidden village without any obstacle!
From there, reaching Kanji's palace was a walk in the park. Of course, the palace had some defenders. They were mostly ninjas from Kanji's family who patrolled occasionally. Needless to say, every single one of them was killed. Their bodies were pinned to the walls of the palace with their own weapons. Thanks to Fujin, no one else heard a single thing.
Shigeki answered, "That's not something you should worry about. Instead, you should think about the disgusting and vile acts you and your son committed all these years."
He began walking forward while saying, "Karma has finally caught up with you. I'll let the two of you feel the pain I felt since that accursed day!"
Kanji snorted and prepared himself for a battle. He said, "You have grown very cocky. Do you think that you can defeat me? Actually, I am glad that you have appeared here yourself. I'll shred you to pieces with my own hands!"
Kanji wasn't afraid of Shigeki. His attention was instead on the mysterious masked ninja next to him. If Kanji and Shigeki had fought 3 years ago, Kanji would have easily won. After all, his strength was the reason that he could become an elder in a hidden village. Even if he was placed in a major village, he could be considered a Jounin. It was one of the main reasons why Shigeki listened to Fujin and didn't try to get his revenge instantly.
Even now, though Shigeki had grown a lot stronger, defeating and killing Kanji would still take some time. The commotion it would cause would make the other ninjas in the village rush over there. As a result, if Shigeki had come by himself, he would have lost and been captured instead. Thankfully, he had a very strong ally.
Kanji and the medical ninjas began grabbing their weapons. However, even before Kanji could take out his kunai, Fujin's left hand clutched his throat. Kanji's eyes widened in horror as he realized, 'So fast! Who is he? And is this Swift Release?'
Before he could figure anything out, Fujin lifted him and slammed Kanji's entire body into the ground, creating cracks in the floor. Kanji's back and spine were severely damaged due to the impact. He still tried to attack, but various symbols appeared on his body. Fujin had used the Self-Cursing Seal to restrain him.
The medical ninjas and Itsuki were shocked by the sudden development. They looked at Fujin who was staring back at them instead of paying attention to Kanji. Before either of them could react, two shurikens pierced through the necks of the two Medical ninjas. Both died on the spot, leaving only the Father-Son duo alive.
Seeing his father and the two medical ninjas on the ground, Itsuki was horrified. He walked backwards while asking, "Who are you?"
Terror could be heard in his voice. Unfortunately, there would be no mercy as Shigeki flickered behind him and knocked him out. Kanji wanted to speak but couldn't move his mouth. Fujin knocked him out as well and asked, "Do you still want to torture them?"
Shigeki nodded. Fujin said, "Alright, carry their bodies. We need to leave this village first before someone discovers something odd."
Fujin disappeared from the base and moved towards the mini base as well. With Wind Instantaneous Body jutsu, he didn't require a long while to reach. A few minutes later, Shigeki's group arrived at the spot where the mini base was. However, confusion appeared on Shigeki's face as he stopped moving.
Hayato asked, "What happened? Why did you stop?"
Shigeki answered in an unsure tone, "The base was supposed to be here."
Everyone immediately looked around in confusion. After a few seconds, Hayato said, "There is nothing here."
Mitsuo sighed in disappointment and asked, "Shigeki, is your benefactor unreliable or has your memory gone bad in these last few years?"
Shigeki was confused. He wondered, 'Did something happen to the benefactor? Why else would there be nothing here? Should I go and check the main base? But, I can't take these guys there. There is no choice. I'll have to ask them to wait here while I go ahead and check.'
Shigeki was about to leave when suddenly everyone felt a killing intent. Before anyone could react, a voice was heard, "I wouldn't move if I was in your place."
