Chapter 150: Investing in the future
🕑 Added 2021-11-12 21:52:26 +0000 UTC"Kid, How can I give you my dust release? Do you want me to serve you?" Said Onoki pretending not to understand what Bakorio meant but the latter was very insistent as he said…
"Who would want a servant that would die from a mild cold… Stop pretending old man, I know that your dust release isn't a Kekkei Genkai but some kind of secret technique passed to you by your teacher Mu!"
Onoki had a very ugly expression on his as he replied to Bakorio "How do you know about this? No, who are you kid?" This was after all a top-secret information and very few people know about it and seeing the surprise on Orochimaru's face who was simply expecting to get a DNA sample from Onoki made it clear just how secret it was…
But Bakorio wasn't from this world so these secrets were meaningless to him… and right now, he was looking at Onoki with a calm smile as he said "Where I got this information from doesn't matter, the main point is do you agree or not?"
Bakorio inched the kunai even closer to Kurotsuchi's neck and pricked her slightly causing a drop of blood to slide down her neck as she winced in pain but although she was horrified, she still gathered up all her courage showing her true potential at this moment and said "Lord Tsuchikage, you can't make such a deal with these people otherwise, our village would lose one of its greatest weapons… I'd rather die than let this happen!"
The people from Konoha were surprised by this girl's courage and loyalty to her village while the people from Iwa kept gritting their teeth as Akatsuchi yelled "Don't hurt Kuro-chan" as he tried to find a way to sneak attack this kid but the injury he suffered from Orochimaru's attack suddenly acted up causing him to cough some blood
"Akatsuchi!" Yelled Kitsuchi as he lent him his shoulder to lay on and he said "Don't I'm fine, we need to save Kuro-chan"
Kitsuchi nodded at him but his face was full of doubt as he replied "I know, but how?" Then he turned his attention to Onoki and noticed that he was gritting his teeth and contemplating what to do in his difficult situation…
He was very angry at the moment, especially when Kurotsuchi called him Tsuchikage instead of grandpa to remind him of his position…
"Not bad little girl, you love your village a lot huh?" Asked Bakorio suddenly, breaking the tense atmosphere as he also stopped pricking her with his kunai which she was lucky that it wasn't a lethal kunai…
"Yes I do and I won't let you use me to harm it!" Said Kurotsuchi defiantly showing no fear!
"Oh, what do you think Orochimaru, isn't she amazing?" Asked Bakorio as Kabuto and Nono kept watching this silently not knowing what to do since they were grateful for getting reunited so they didn't want to mess with their benefactors' plans… Which were in reality only Bakorio since Orochimaru was planning to watch them kill each other before he takes Kabuto…
"She is indeed, I'm starting to get tempted to add her to my collection" Said Orochimaru with a creepy look in his eyes that sent a cold shiver down the spine of everyone that was watching…
"You bastard, what are you planning to do to me?" Said Kurotsuchi in distress but Bakorio simply shrugged at the hopeless case of Orochimaru before he suddenly asked her
"What do you think of the other hidden villages?" no one knew what Bakorio's intentions were behind his question, including Kurotsuchi who replied "Haa? What kind of question is that? as long as they don't harm my village, I don't care about them Hmph"
Bakorio's eyes suddenly lit up as he said "Oh, that's good to know…" before he suddenly removed the kunai from her neck surprising the people from Iwa that were gritting their teeth at their inability to change this situation… But even his companions were surprised by this
"Bakorio-kun, what are you doing?" Asked Orochimaru nervously as he was already preparing to make a run for it at any moment… and even Kurotsuchi turned around to look at Bakorio and asked with a puzzled look on her face "Are you really letting me go?"
After all, this was his chance to take the dust release of her village which was probably the strongest attacking Ninjutsu!
"What are you waiting for, you want me to hold you hostage again?" Said Bakorio pretending to put an evil look that only appeared as cute on his small face so Kurotsuchi really didn't know what to do so Onoki suddenly appeared beside her and dragged her back to her group.
"Grandpa!" she yelled, but Onoki was only looking at the kid in front of him silently and they heard him say "So, what are you going to do now old man?"
Onoki was contemplating if he should kill this kid who was showing them such goodwill or not and as these two ideas kept clashing inside his head, one idea finally dominated "Sorry kid but I simply can't let you grow up"
Onoki suddenly extended his hands in front of his chest and said "Dust release…" a white orb of light enveloped inside a transparent cube suddenly appeared between his hands and he was planning to pulverize Bakorio and the rest who started to get nervous and they were about to flicker away in multiple directions other than Bakorio who showed no nervousness in his face… Because just at this moment, someone stepped in front of Bakorio's group protecting them behind her small frame as she yelled…
"Grandpa, stop!"
"Kuro-chan what are you doing?" asked Akatsuchi and Onoki too was perplexed as he yelled without deactivating his ability "Kurotsuchi what are you being naïve for? We need to eliminate this danger before it hunts our village in the future!"
"No grandpa, I don't think he will be a danger to our village, and if he does I will make sure to stop him at that time" Said Kurotsuchi with her face filled with determination, and Onoki couldn't help but grit his teeth in annoyance before he stopped his ability as he couldn't sacrifice his most talented descendant…
"Consider yourself lucky kid, you better not cross my path again" Said Onoki haughtily, but Bakorio simply chuckled at this as he was simply going to blink behind Onoki and use Kakashi's thousand years of death on him with a lethal kunai no less if he didn't stop… 'I would love to see if you would stay arrogant at that point' thought Bakorio before he turned to Kurotsuchi and said
"You didn't disappoint me, little girl, hopefully, we will meet again in the future, and we will see at that point if you could really beat me or not"
"Hmph, I will beat you for sure" said Kurotsuchi with a snort and Bakorio simply smiled and threw his kunai to her, which she easily caught with a surprised look as she said "What are you doing?"
Bakorio had a serious look on his face this time before he said "Keep this as a reminder so that you don't confuse courage with carelessness in the future…" then he turned his attention to Onoki and said " As for you, old man, it's about time for your heart to stop being bound by your past... I'm sure you know what I'm talking about"
Then Kurama suddenly grew bigger to the surprise of everyone and Bakorio quickly jumped on its back as they both disappeared and Konoha's group quickly followed after them back to Orochimaru's base leaving Onoki thinking…
'Does he really know about my encounter with Madara? Tch, this kid is really annoying' but then he saw the strong determination to grow stronger in his granddaughter's eyes and thought that at least she's going to benefit from this encounter… but then he was woken up by a sudden sound of something falling to the ground
*Thump*
"AAAA Kitsuchi are you okay?" Yelled Akatsuchi, and Kitsuchi barely replied while twitching like a bug " It's the poison of that woman…."
"Tch, take him to the hospital quickly" Said Onoki as he turned around to leave while deep in thought…
