Chapter 19 Supon Nabe
"So in exchange for you help, the new Mizukage we place will have to agree to a peace treaty with Konoha?" Wagyu asked with a raised eyebrow.
1 nodded, "that is correct."
"And why exactly is that?" another resistance fighter asked as he leaned down on the table we all gathered behind.
After the battle was over the captured ninjas were put into the dungeon of the fortress the resistance used. The fort was cracking apart, but luckily a few ninjas knew Earth release and could fix up the whole place quickly. Damn, I really need to learn some Earth Release jutsu.
"Konoha needs more allies," 1 explained, "we would like it if we weren't threatened with war every decade or so. Hence, an alliance with Kiri can discourage the more moron of people from attacking us."
"Will this mean we're allied with your allies as well?" Wagyu asked.
1 shrugged, "it's not for me to say, nor your too decided. I'm assuming you aren't the leader of the resistance, yes?"
Wagyu raised an eyebrow, "and why do you think that is?"
"Because you would be far away from the battle if you were," 2 explained, "a Kage is a leader, you act more like a general."
The rebels looked at each other, clearly looking uncomfortable at the idea of showing their cards. They spoke to each other in hushed tones, whatever, I had other shit to do. I opened my status and looked at all the points I had.
I had 72, I needed use them;
STR- 162 (+5)
VIT- 110
DEX- 110
INT- 110 (+2)
CHA- 330
CC- 250
LUC- 100 (+5)
Points- 0
And then I opened my perk list to see what I could buy.
Snake Catcher- +10% more damage dealt to snake lovers (Conditions to unlock- Gain over -60 REP with a snake love.) Cost- 5 PP
Uchiha Genjutsu- Genjutsu 10% more likely to succeed(Conditions to unlock- Gain over 60 REP with an Uchiha.) Cost- 20 PP
Hm, I think I got that one from Itachi. I see, even though he respected me, I didn't know that until I met him, meaning I could have unlocked some perk without knowing!
Shark killer- +10% more damage dealt to members of the Hoshigaki clan (Conditions to unlock- Gain over -60 REP with a member of the Hoshigaki clan) Cost- 5 PP
A General's Orders- Unlocks party EXP share system! (Conditions to unlock- Gain over 80 REP with a general of an army) Cost- 50 PP
Okay, this one I definitely must have gotten from the general of the Hono army, there's no other way about it.
(Kisame) Eternal rival- Gain a second sense when it comes to the presence of Kisame Hoshigaki. (Conditions to unlock- Gain -100 REP with Kisame Hoshigaki) Cost- 5 PP
ANBU Stealth- -20% chance towards getting caught while sneaking around. (Conditions to unlock- Gain 100 REP) Cost- 20 PP
Okay, not much to go on, but whatever, I want them all! So I spent 105 PP and got all of them listed into my perk list.
There, not bad. I then returned to the argument the two sides were having, it was honestly boring watching these old men argue about whether they could trust us or not, honestly, it was. I didn't even pay attention after the fifth time the resistance fighters asked us if we were Kiri spies, these fools.
"So who's leading the rebels?" Zabuza asked, "is it one of the seven swordsman?"
Wagyu shook his head, "no. It's Mei Terumi, the heiress of the Terumi clan."
Zabuza's eyes widened, "M-Mei?! She's leading you all?!"
"You know her?" I asked, alerting everyone to the fact that I was actually present in the room.
Zabuza turned and nodded, "yeah. She's….scary. Se once threatened to melt...a sensitive area of my body off."
"That's because you cheated on her with someone ninja from Kumo," a jonin resistance fighter said causing everyone to chuckle while Zabuza growled threateningly at the man.
"Where is Mei Terumi now?" 1 asked.
"In Sky island," Wagyu replied, "she's currently getting ready to lead an attack on Lightning island...we were actually supposed to go join her. We expected out stronghold to fall but, well, thanks to..." he looked at me.
"Yami," I supplied.
He nodded, "right...well, thanks to your incredibly powerful genin over there we managed to survive. This will change our plans a little, but for the better. We already set a message to Mei about all of you, I'm sure she'll want to meet up."
"He's not a genin," Zabuza put in, "he's a jonin."
"A-a jonin?!" they all looked at me in surprise.
"I suppose that would make sense," Wagyu, the only one who didn't overreact, "someone that powerful can't be a chunin, it would be an insult to his skills. You tree hugger sure are lucky, but you better be careful, wasn't the last prodigy you had a clan killer?"
"I'm not Itachi Uchiha," I snapped, "nor will I ever be him."
"From what I saw you do today kid, I highly doubt that," a chunin resistance fighter put in.
I looked at him, "how many people did I kill?" I asked knowing the answer.
"A hundred," he shrugged.
"A hundred a twenty, exactly," I corrected him, "and while I did kill so many, I spared the lives of 42 people. And got at least two hundred more of the Kiri ninjas in the clearing to surrender without another drop spilt. If I was Itachi Uchiha, I would have killed them without question."
"And by being so lenient with your blade we now have another problem," Wagyu sighed, "the dungeons are full. We have fifty percent of all our men keeping tabs on the prisoners, they're more of a hindrance than anything else. It would be quicker to kill them."
A young looking genin level resistance fighter looked horrified-but we can't! They're our allies! It's not their fault they have to obey the Mizukage's orders!"
"-Shut up kid," a chunin snapped, "what would rather do? Spare them so that they can come back and kill us again?!"
"No but-"
"It's us or them kid, it's that simple," Wagyu sighed, "I wish we didn't do this but...it has to be done."
I didn't like it, I didn't spare their lives only for another execution! I...I have to do something! But what can I do? If only I can store them away for sometime until they can decide what to do with them later! But I can't under a storage scroll, it's not designed to store a living being! But what about….my inventory!

Y/N?
I selected yes and spoke up, "I think I have a solution."
"Oh? And what is it?" they asked turning to me.
"Give me ten minutes," I activated Swift release speed up times 10 and vanished out of the fort, rushing into the forest next to the fort, looking for a live creature to test on. Quickly I found a rabbit I could use.
I grabbed it and canceled my jutsu, immediately the little mamale tried to escape, but I had it's ears in a vice, it couldn't even move. I opened my inventory and put it inside. I waited five minutes, until I was sure it would be dead because of the lack of oxygen and took it out.
Immediately it began to try and escape again. I dropped the rabbit and watched it run away. I gave chase with my normal speed, watching as it tried to run away. It's brain activity was normal, doesn't look like the status like nature it was in inside my inventory effected it in any way.
I grinned before I flash back into the for, I left a marker right where I was standing. I appeared in the war room once again, startling everyone.
"What the-how did you do that?!" a chunin growled.
"I can take care of your prisoner problem without killing them," I informed them, "they'll be unharmed and they won't take up any of your time."
"How?" Wagyu asked.
"I have a special storage seal," I explained, "I can't give you any details, but it allows me to store a human life, putting them under a form of temporal status, for them it will be like time stopped. Is this good enough?"
Lie successful!
The young resistance fighter nodded frantically while the others whispered amongst themselves before agreeing as well. Finally all eyes on Wagyu who kept glaring at me. Finally he sighed and nodded, "it's fine. Come with me, I'll show you to the dungeons."
We all followed him, I guess they were curious about my new 'seal'. We went two floors and there in cells filled to the brim were over two hundred captured Kiri ninjas. The injured had been patched up as best as they could. Obviously the resistance didn't want to waste medicine on these people.
Wagyu motioned a gaurd to open the door and pull a prisoner out. He was pushed towards me, he looked scared, he couldn't even meet my eyes. I pushed his shoulders and put my arms behind his knees, carrying him up. The man looked confused as to why I was carrying him like a bride, even the people behind me snickered.
I ignored them all and opened my inventory, tossing the man inside. The people gasped as the man vanished into nothing.
"You bastard!" a capture jonin cried out, "can't you at least give us a proper execution?! You have to have this monster do it?!"
"Where did he go?" Wagyu asked.
"I told you," I looked at man, "he's in status."
"Can you bring him back?" 1 asked curiously.
I nodded as I reached into the inventory and pulled him out. Immediately he began to flinch as he looked around, "w-what was that?"
"What did you see?" Wagyu asked moving before the flinching man.
"I...did I go somewhere?" the prisoner asked.
"He didn't experience time moving at all," I told them, "it's a new seal I developed to store away injured people, keeping them alive until we can reach a medic."
"Or give you the ability to transport entire armies by yourself," Zabuza hissed, "you just keep getting more and more dangerous kid."
"I'm going to be the shadow of the future Hokage one day," I smirked, "so you better not piss me off."
"The future Hokage?" 8 asked, "who?"
I turned to her and smiled, "Naruto Uzumaki."
"Ha!" 5 chuckled, "the day that kid becomes the Hokage is the day I'll become a cat lover!"
I shrugged, "I look forward to that. Now, shall I continue? Or what?"
"C-continue," Wagyu said worried as he stepped back.
It took me five hours to put them all away. Yes, four freaking hours. It took a minute to put away each person, yes a full minute, and that's if they were cooperating. It took three men to restrain a person and ring them to me. It was honestly a pain in the ass, but it had to be done.
After I was done we all gathered in the war room again, this time the conversation became about what to do with Yukiko.
"What do I care about some stray you pick up," Wagyu snorted, "do whatever you wish with her."
"You might not want to say that Wagyu," Zabuza snorted.
"And why not?" a chunin asked.
"Because she's a Karei, I'm guessing, the last one," cme the swordsman cool reply.
"W-what?!" Wagyu eyes winded, "how?!"
"We found her being kidnapped by a squad of Kiri ninjas," 1 admitted, "she's safe and sound."
"We must see her!" Wagyu said, "where is she?!"
"On our boat," 8 replied.
"We'll take you," 1 nodded as we all took off, the resistance fighters rushing towards the boat as fast as they could. I saw them leap onto the deck with 1 and Zabuza leading the charge.
"Stand down 2.1, 2.2," I heared 1 order, "they're are just here to see the Karei girl."
"Where Is she?! I demand to see her!"
I stepped on the boat I immediately spotted Yukiko's fearful face turn to me, running to behind me as she clutched my back, scared.
I sighed as I turned to Wagyu, "you're scaring her, stop it."
The man blinked, "she's a Karei! One of the greatest clans of Kiri! She has nothing to fear from us!"
I sighed, "yeah, well the last Kiri ninja she saw tried to kidnap her," I turned around to her and smiled, "are you alright?"
Yukiko nodded slowly , "y-yes. I'm sorry...are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
5 chuckled, "him? Hurt? Please. You should be worried about everyone else girl."
I shot the man a glare before turning to Yukiko and smiling, "I'm fine Yuki, I didn't get a scratch on me."
Yukiko nodded, "g-good."
"Is this fearful girl really a Karei?" Wagyu asked, "she has no strength to her, and her hair...surely by now it should have changed?"
"She's not a ninja, she's a civilian," I told them with a glare, "she's been raised as an orphan, unaware of her history. And whose fault is that I wonder."
"What are you insinuating boy?" a chunin growled.
"I'm sayin you have no right to demand anything of her when you morons are the reason the blood war got as bad as it did. Her family paid the price, so you have no right to expect her to be anything but what you allowed her to become."
The older ninjas looked away ashamed, my words struck true. But the younger ones, they looked pissed off.
"But is she really a Karei?" a younger ninja asked, "she doesn't look like it."
I narrowed my eyes, I was about to speak when Yukiko beat me to it, "a-and if I was a Karei, what will you do to me?"
"What?" the ninja asked, blinking in surprise.
"I-if I am a Karei, what will you do to me?" she voice soudning harder, "will you do what Kiri wants to do? Use me to bare you fighters?"
"W-what?! No! We would never do such a thing!" Wagyu protested, "if you were indeed a Karei we would help you get back your ancestral seat! We would ask for your help in fighting back the Mizukage! We would not lay a hand on you!"
"S-so you wish to use me? As a weapon?"
"No! As a symbol! Kiri was is the birthright of a Karei! As such you could be the new face of the rebellion! Help our leader gain over more people to our side!"
"So not a weapon, b-but a symbol," Yukiko glared at them from behind, "I never want to made to do something I don't like!"
"Then what do you want kid?" Zabuza asked in an amused tone.
"I...I," she looked at me and then 2.1 and 2.2, "I want to be free! I don't want to be in this land anymore! I hate it! I want to go the the Leaf with Yami and the others! I want to see the Hokage monument and it's many faces! I want to eat ramen and I-and I want to see the world!"
"You bastards," Wagyu growled, "you brainwashed her! You're trying to steal the blood of a founding member of Kiri?! Unacceptable! I'll have your heads for this!"
"Hey now, don't go making an bold claims," 6 replied as everyone, myself included, spiked out Killing Intent at the resistance fighters.
"How about this," Zabuza spoke up, "even if the girl wants to go to Konoha, she can't without the rest of them, and the team can't leave until the mission is over. So how about she stays, with us, until Kiri gets liberated. You have until tell to convince her to stay, and by the time the war is over, if we lose or win, the choice will be out of our hands. Sounds fair?"

I sighed, it was a decent enough mission sure, but I wasn't interested in forcing her to come to Konoha, it would cause to much problems is Kiri thought I was manipulating her. So I declined the mission.
Yukiko nodded, "I won't change my mind! So you can try whatever you want!"
Wagyu growled, "I'll speak to Mei about this, she'll know what to do. Until then," he glared at me, "keep her safe."
And with that the resistance fighters vanished in a burst of mist. Zabuza sighed scratching his hair as he turned to Yukiko, "you're one big pain in my ass princess."
Yukiko looked down ashamed, "s-sorry."
Zabuza clicked his teeth, "it's fine. Just...make sure you accept the choice you decide to make. You don't want second thoughts with things like this."
Yukiko nodded, "r-right!" she latched onto my arm tightly, "I'm going with Yami no matter what!"
"Oh great, young love," 8 sighed as she ruffled my hair and walked away, "don't go making my babies you here?"
"S-shut up!" I growled causing everyone else to laugh and Yukiko looking confused, guess she wasn' old enough to understand what was happening.
They all set out for be, leaving me and Yukiko alone. I took this chance and turned to her and asked, "Yukiko...why me?"
She looked confused, "what do you mean?"
"Why are you coming with me?" I asked her.
"Because...you're the first person who asked me what my name was, my real name. Not a family name I didn't know I had until a few days ago," she smiled, "you're the only one who wanted Yukiko, not lady Karei...whoever that's supposed to be."
I smiled, "is that so...fine, but I'm warning you, Naruto snores, so you're going to have to sleep with earplugs on." Yukiko chuckled as we spent the rest of the night talking about Konoha and all the things she could do once she came there.
Soon she got sleepy and went to bed, leaving me alone in the night. Alone...with nothing but the thought of all the people I was forced into killing.
A week later:
"Sky island is just up ahead," 1 informed us as we sailed behind a large brigade of boats, "we'll be arriving in ten minutes! Everyone get ready!"
I nodded as I turned to Yukiko, who looked unsure about everything happening. I squeezed her hand, "hey, it's going to be fine. I promise."
Yuki turned to me and smiled, "r-right! Thanks Yami."
I nodded as I turned around, walking below deck into my room. I gathered all my gear and weapons, arming myself for the meeting with Mei Terumi, the future fifth Mizukage.
It had been a week since we reached Sunny island and in that week the rebels managed to pack up everything they had on hand and skipped town, it wasn't profitable to defend that place anymore.
So while Sunny island wasn't owned by the Rebels, Kiri asl didn't have a foothold in it, thanks to the fact that I had all their forces on the island currently in my inventory.
When I came out the coast line was visible from the horizon. No one said a thing as we watched the island's coast come closer. And there hidden between two cliff sides was a harbour with ninjas on the docks, armed and ready.
The head boat of the resistance fighters docked first. I used my 8.0 Eyesight to and zoomed in on the far away bay, seeing Wagyu come out of the boat and be greeted with cheers by the ninjas on the dock.
Slowly the small armed group parted as a woman walked out. She was dressed in a blue kimono that exposed her legs and gave an ample view of her breasts. She had bright red hair, kind of sexy really, and bangs that covered one half of her face.
They talked, I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I saw the woman look over at our ship. We were then given the signal to com forward, in the way of a red firework being launched into the sky.
We sailed towards the dock, the ninjas looked nervous as we dropped down on the docks. I looked over, the busty red head smiled at us, she had green eyes similar to Sakura's and a body any woman would kill for.
Mei Terumi, Resistance Leader
Lv- 84
REP- 10
Zabuza got off the boat first with Haku by his side. He looked up at Mei, the woman's stare turned cold. "Mie," Zabuza nodded.
"Momoshi," Mie replied frostily, "it is….good to see a Swordsman of the Mist return."
"Really? I'm surprised you're happy, last I remember you were trying to melt my face off," he snorted.
Mie smiled turned cruel, "the next time don't cheat on me with some skank."
1 stepped off next, he motioned me to join him as we both took the lead, the others following behind closely with Yukiko in the back, flanked by 5 and 6.
Mei looked at us and smiled, "and you must be the forces Konoha sent to aide us," he gave a short bow, "on behalf of the resistance, I thank you."
1 and I matched the bow, "we're happy to be of assistance," 1 replied.
Mie nodded and turned to me, "oh, aren't you a cute one. What's your name cutie?"
I smiled, "Yami."
"Ah, the infamous second flash of Konoha," Mie nodded, "well, I'm glad to see the Hokage sent me his best. I heard you were responsible for saving the lives of my men on Sunny island, you have my thanks."
I nodded, "you're welcome ma'am."
"I also heard you had a member of my Land's founding clan members in your company," she said smiling.
1 nodded, "yes, that is true," he turned around and motioned them to bring Yukiko forward. The konoha ninjas moved aside, allowing the girl to come forward.
She looked at 1 with a glare before turning to me, looking scared. I smiled back and extended my hand, which she took, moving forward to face Mie, who's smile hadn't faltered one bit.
"So, what's your name?" Mie asked with a pleasant enough smile.
"K-Karei," Yukiko replied, knowing that's what Mie want to know.
"No, I know that silly," she chuckled, "I meant your real name, mines Mie."
Yukiko's eyes widened, "I-I'm Yukiko."
Mie smiled, "that's better. So, I hear you can change your hair, is that true?"
Yuki nodded, "y-yes."
"Cool! Could you show me?"
I rolled my eyes, she was talking down to her like she was a kid. Did she really expect- "s-sure," Yukiko nodded as she closed her eyes and allowed chakra to flow out, changing her hair snow white.
I blinked and sighed as I rubbed my nose, 'right, she's a twelve year old civilian, I forgot.'
"That's so cool!" Mie said with a bright smile, "you know, I have a special power too!"
"Really? What?" Yukiko asked with quietly held back interest.
"I can spit out magam! Here watch!" Mie moved through several hand seals slowly and turned to the sea, spitting out a gob of magma that hissed as it sank into the water, turning into stone as steam came pouring out.
I snorted, "guess you really are the hottest woman in Kiri," I couldn't resist.
Mei raised an eyebrow, "did you just try to hit on me?"
"Did I succeed?"
Ping!
+5 REP!
Mie smiled, "cute, come, I'll show you to our base," she motioned us to follow as she made her way through the crowd of gathered ninjas.
We walked into a giant valley that was hidden by a thick fog. I could barely see through the air, but from what I could see it was a pretty small village. Not even worth mentioning, unless you counted the hundreds of ninjas I found campin around.
Mie led us to a town hall in the middle of the village. The inside was a military camp, a giant table and on it maps and other valuable data that was quickly cleared out and taken away from our sight.
Mie sat down at the table, Wagyu and several other jonin commanders sitting down next to her while Zabuza and 1 stand before her, being our representatives.
Mie smiled and turned to Yukiko, "please Yuki, sit."
"T-thank you," she nodded as she sat down in the seat before me, sending everyone gathered a worried look.
"Now," Mie smiled, "shall we begin?"
"Before we do, I have something to say," Zabuza spoke up as he turned to me, "kid, the sword."
I glared at him, "the Hokage was clear, Kiri only gains the sword after you're war ends, not a moment before."
"This isn't the time brat," Zabuza growled, "we need every advantage we can get, give it, now!"
I rolled my eyes, "sorry, but I have my orders."
"What is going on here Zabuza? Explain," Mei frowned.
The demon huffed, "the kid managed to steal Samehada from Kisame, he currently has it in his position."
"Y-you have one of the legendary swords?!" Wagyu cried out.
1 turned to me, "why wasn't I told of this?"
I grumbled, "the Hokage didn't want this information getting out, obviously Zabuza disagreed."
"He isn't my Hokage," the man shrugged.
"The Samehada is the treasure of Kiri Yami," Mei spoke up, her voice sounding pleading, "it belongs with us."
"And I'll give it to you," I nodded, "but not until Kiri gains freedom and a suitable replacement has been found. The sword is attached to Kisame, and it is sentient, the moment I take it out it'll try to escape. So you'll need a way to control it and a new owner."
Mei and the others frowned, the woman nodded, "we have few candidates in mind and a seal method to contain the sword until they are ready. If you give us the blade we can begin training them, and eventually we will have three of seven blades on our side."
"Three? Which one do you have?" Zabuza asked.
"Hiramekarei, it's now owned by a chunin named Chojuro, he's….competent," Mei sighed before turning to me, "but if we had Samehada, then it could mean an advantage in our favour."
I took a deep breath and let it out, "I'm sorry, but my Kage gave me orders to keep the sword until you all win. And, if you need some stupid ancient sword to gain freedom, then you haven't earned it at all. You wish to gain equality for all? Then you can't do that with a relique that's famous for creating a world where that's not possible. Fight for the new world, show me you're worthy of it, and I'll give it to you on a fucking red pillow cover the moment you win. How's that for a deal?"
"Who the hell are you to decide that?!" a jonin cried out, "you aren't a member of our Land! You're a foreigner who has no right-"
"-Enough!" Mei snapped, "sit down, shut up, or I'll kill you." the man gulped at her gallery apologizing before sitting down, the others snickering at him.
Mei turned to me, and for a moment I feared she was going to try an attack, but then, she smiled. She nodded, "you are correct. We lost the sword, we lost the right to use it. Having a foreigner just give it back to us is insulting. What's next? Have them fight for us? Have them earn our freedom for us? No, we will earn it. Very well Yami of Konoha, keep the blade, but swear to return it on the eve of our freedom, is that something I can ask you to do?"
I nodded, "yes madam Mei, those are my orders, I'll gladly give it to you then."
"Good," she smiled, "now, without further interruptions, let's continue onto the war plans. Yes?"
Zabuza nodded, "lets. What's the plan?"
"We have in our control only two islands," Mie explained, "after you left Sunny island though Kiri sent more ninjas to take i over, which honestly is for the best, this way they spread themselves out thin, giving us a leg up on the battlefield."
Mei displayed the map on the table. The center Island, Kiri, was covered with ten blue flags, each with a hundred number on it, meaning the main island had a thousand ninjas in it.
Sunny, the island closest to Kiri, hence when Kiri wanted to reclaim it so badly, had five flags, around five hundred ninjas in it. Lighting, which was just East of Sunny island, had five flags in it and Mist, which was East of Lightning, had five flags as well, reasonably well guarded.
There were 30 red flags on Sunny island, which meant the rebels had three thousand people on this island, and twenty flags were spread out on the Storm island, which was North of Kiri, surrounded by the two neutral islands.
"How is Ao doing on getting Rain island and Cloud island to join us?" Mike asked one of her lieutenants.
"He's not making any progress to change their minds," the man to her right sighed, "he claims they don't believe we can win, and choose to remain neutral to side with the winner."
"Can't we do anything to convince them otherwise?" Wagyu asked.
"Well….I suppose if we can show the tides of war is turning to our favour that could convince them," the man hummed.
Mie looked at the map and hummed, "we can launch an attack on Lightning island and Sunny island, reclaiming the latter and bringing down the Kiri in the former."
"If you're going to just reclaim it why didn't' you just stay there?" 8 asked with a snort, "it seems like a waste of energy and manpower now."
"You would be well to watch your tough tree hugger," Mike's right hand man snarled, his name was Reigo, "we are aware how to fight wars, we don't need you to teach us."
8 snarled but said nothing. Zabuza then spoke up, "he isn't wrong. Why did you draw back? This seems like just a waste now. We had the fort, we captured most of tier men, now it just seems like a waste."
"Our own men were injured," Mei spoke, "I wasn't going to risk their lives for a pile of rocks. Besides, if we land on Sunny once more we don't have to attack them, the moment hears of us, they will coming running right for us."
I groaned, it was a smart plan but poorly executed. If it was me I would have sent a boat of fresh men to replace the injured on the island and have the people there defend it until that time. That way one could replace the people without losing their footing. But then again Mei didn't really seem like a general, more like a paragon if nothing else.
"So is that our next move? Reclaim Sunny and fight in Lightning?" Wagyu asked curiously.
Mei nodded, "yes, it is. A thousand men will go to Lighting, five hundred to Sunny and another five hundred will travel to Kiri, to begin taking out the edges of Kiri's forces, gaining a foothold in the land."
"Where do we fit in all this?" 1 asked.
Mei smiled as she pointed at Sunny, "I would like you all to help recapture Sunny and then come to Kiri, hopefully by then the team there will have gained a foothold for you all."
1 nodded, "sounds good."
They spent the rest of the day talking about the particulars and what they had to accomplish. I stayed silent and listened, keeping an eye on all the people gathered. And then when everything was done we broke for the night, with us Konoha ninjas given a large tent near the edge of the town while Mei invited Yukiko to stay with her.
The girl wanted to stay with me, but after I encouraged her to try and make new friends she readily agreed.
A Month Later:
Unfortunately, I couldn't just charge in and disarm everyone, literally and figuratively. This wasn't just about killing the enemy, it was about showing them that the resistance was powerful, and would win the heart and soul of Kiri.
And a Konoha ninja couldn't be seen helping out and fixing everything. So instead we were set up as support, mostly just making sure no one escaped, captured prisoner, and as for me in particular, I had the duty of storing away all the captured ninjas in my inventory.
1 and everyone else got super curious about this power of mine, but I refused to speak of it, telling them it was my jutsu, and they can go jump. The clan members were a little more understanding, while everyone else was just pissed off.
1 actually wrote to the Hokage to make him tell everyone how I did it, but Sarutobi was on my side as he refused stating that I had a unique bloodline that would allow me to form my own clan, eventually.
1 was a little pissed, but he accepted it as a fact. Hopefully.
Right now I have over 600 captured ninjas in my inventory. Yeah, that's a lot, I know. But i just grew over time and I never realised it.
Over the past month I did get training in from time to time;
