Naruto: Dream to Immortality

Chapter 135: Others Schemes and Plans...

Title: Others Schemes and Plans... 

....

Shoto was about to continue but someone barged into the restaurant and screamed.... "BIG NEWS, YAMI INUZUKA HAS CAPTURED THE EIGHT TAILED DEMON AND THE 3rd RAIKAGE's SON."

Everyone who heard that, was in shock. There hadn't even been any real full blown battles amongst the borders. The first one happened and it was an OVERWHELMING victory for Konoha.

Then the guy went on explaining that the evil Cloud Ninja said that they wanted to meet for a treaty, but instead the Konoha ninja were attacked and ambushed. 

And as expected almost everyone believed it. After all, this is the only source of information... so facts can be muddied up... and work on Yami's favor.

Hachi had a shocked look on his face and so did his teammates. But Ken, his jonin teacher, had a wide smile. 

"Damn... wish I could have been there." Said Ken as he had a wild smile on his face. His body, which had a certain fragileness to it, was revitalised and full of energy when he hears what Yami had done.

'I owe Yami everything, my life, fame and even power... someone like me never would have never even dreamed of being an Elite Jonin of Konoha.'

Thought Ken, as he just looked at his hand and clenched it into a fist. 'This body of mine will last for a little while more... I need to help him in any way I can.'

Ken looks towards his students, he doesn't know why Yami asked him to train this team. But he will do it to the best of his abilities.

Hachi was unsure of what to think about this. He had understood that Yami was amazing... but he didn't think that he was so strong. 

His teammate Shoto, even though he was shocked he didn't understand the true effect that this event of Yami will have. It could possibly lead to at least a 50% Reduction in the power of Hidden Cloud Village, and the Raikage's son was taken prisoner during the confrontation. Plus losing someone like Killer B isn't a small matter either, he is possibly even more important than the 3rd Raikage's son.

....

But in the Hokage's office, something else was happening. While the Hokage was a little glad that Asuma had now become a Chunin, because he wouldn't be 100% in Yami's control now.

'Those Sarutobi Clan Elders, doing something dumb like this is unexpected of them. Did they somehow expect Asuma to spy on Yami, or did they send him to Yami as a peace offering and let me and Yami tear on each other while they disassociate themselves from me.' Contemplated Hiruzen while he tried to understand the double or triple meaning of different decisions. He wasn't a naturally born political genius, who is good at understanding people. He has only learned these things from his experience as Hokage.

Suddenly he can easily sense an anbu enter the room, even though nothing indicates so, since both the door and window are closed. The Anbu just puts a newspaper in front of him... the newspaper was also one of Yami's inventions, that is quite.... misinforming... he can easily read through the propaganda but most people wouldn't be able to do the same... but there are some true facts in there sometimes. That is why the Anbu brought the newspaper to Hirizen.

'There must be something seemingly true in this then.' 

The Hokage opens the newspaper... his  eyes immediately widened in shock at what he saw...

'How is this possible...' Hiruzen looked at the Anbu in the walls. "Go and find out if this is true."

'Though I am not necessarily fond of Yami Inuzuka as a person, if what he says is even half true... we could negotiate a peace between Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha. His skill as a ninja truly is unparalleled.' Thought Hiruzen as he looked at the newspaper which as its front page had a photo of a smiling Yami in his jonin uniform.

....

While on the Land of Lightning, inside the Village Hidden in the Clouds... the Raikage has just learned what has happened on the battlefield. Although he is feeling unquenchable anger he has a calm mask on his face... though he still can't help an angry growl coming out of him every now and then.

He knows how cruel Yami can be... he still remembers when during the 2nd Ninja War, a twelve year old Yami slaughtered his comrades. Even Dodai died when he took him to the closest hospital which was close by Land of Water. But while he thought that would help the relationship with the Hidden Mist Village... Dodai's body exploded in the hospital where a lot of injured Mist Shinobi were recovering. A lot of them died and even though the Mizukage knew it wasn't him, he had to kick him out of the Mist to keep his image of power. Since then the relationship with the general ninja of the Mist has not been good at all.... and all of that happened because of that cruel kid. Who now has his son...

The Raikage keeps wondering if Yami is already torturing his son even as he spends time like this uselessly thinking to himself. Bit he knows that the Hokage will sue for peace... in his eyes the Hokage was weak and indecisive like that. That is also why everyone wants to start another war... after all, the 1st & 2nd weren't really that much of a decisive victory for Konoha. Konoha almost fell countless times.

'I will kill Yami Inuzuka as soon as I get my son... sons back... he will let his guard down during the small time gap after the treaty... that is when we will strike.' Schemes the Raikage, while plotting to have Yami unguarded during the attack too.

....

While they were all plotting different things... Yami was in his temporary underground Laboratory with the unconscious Killer B, strapped to a table with tubes strapped all around his body. The tubes had some small Fuinjutsu written on it, they were drawing red chakra form the Eight Tails inside Killer B, and were transporting it inside a pitch dark cube with countless Fuinjutsu written all over it.

Yami suddenly smiled in a menacing way as he saw the process of his experiment going so smoothly. 

'War really has a lot of opportunities.' He thought while observing his sleeping test subject.

..

A/N: For a change of view everyone scheming and plotting while Yami is 'building' something 

P.S: If I wasn't clear enough Ken Inuzuka (Hachi's joinin teacher) was an early test subject to Yami's Eight Gates Experiment. That is why his body is slowly falling appart.
