Chapter 48: If It Doesn't Work, I Can Only Wrong the Ninja World, Izayoi's Anxiety
Izayoi did not know that his actions affected Zabuza Momochi and caused him to look for a different path for a missing-nin.(runway ninja or shinobi)
After obtaining the materials for making human puppets and chakra cores, Izayoi did not return to Konoha immediately.
During this period, he would, every three days, create a shadow clone using a huge supply of chakra to return to the village in order to trade shifts with the shadow clone set to automatically break apart.
All except Hinata and Hanabi were not in the know that the Izayoi in the village was actually a shadow clone.
Izayoi, who had already filed a report to the Hyuga sisters, did not immediately return to the village. He rather changed his identity and first encountered the shadow clone who was collecting Gato's other treasure caches to consolidate the profits of this trip.
Thus, he found that he could not even count Gato's possessions.
Amongst Gato's belongings, the most valuable was not banknotes, nor gold bars and ornaments, but those deeds.
Those deeds that could be hidden by Gato were undoubtedly rubbish.
Those deeds were all houses or stores in good locations in some nations.
Selling a few deeds alone, Izayoi earned multiple times greater than the funds of Asuma Sarutobi.
After Izayoi became completely rich, she at once found a villa that Gato bought in the Land of Fire under the deed, and then bought a clothing shop in the city where the villa was located, leaving behind a shadow clone to study from the tailors and designers there.
The body didn't return to Konoha but departed from the Land of Fire with two empty large storage scrolls and entered the Land of Rivers.
Rumbling.
Dark clouds were building up over a mountain village and thunder was rumbling.
Soon enough, it started to rain.
In spite of this, outside a village, naked torsos villagers were still pulling carts of minerals out, and there was still the sound of mining inside.
In an open field not too far away from the mine, there were lots of tombstones.
There were still a few people in black raincoats standing around a newly buried coffin, conducting a funeral service for the dead man inside the coffin.
"Ah... why would you good person like you die! It makes me sad, it makes me sad!"
The one who screamed at the top of his lungs was flamboyant and sincere.
But none of those around him was sad. Their eyes were only full of fear of the leader.
In their eyes, this patriarch was only a capricious guy.
If he did not like someone, he would hold a funeral for them!
"Raiga, there's a very strong chakra coming here."
Since the leader was acting, the childish voice afterward rang out from the raincoat that bulged at the rear of his person. His tone was somewhat fearful, "Be carefu, he can fly!"
Hearing such, Raiga Kurosuki, still keeping his face concealed and crying, immediately laid his hands down on the ground and looked upwards into the sky with a grave countenance.
Rain fell, and a black person dropped from above.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"
Before the figure fell down and talked, Raiga Kurosuki drew out his oddly shaped double swords, placed them on the sky, and chakra with lightning release nature transformation condensed on the tip to form a blue-white light ball, which was shot out.
Seeing the flying light ball of lightning, the figure only stuck out his hand from his sleeve and opened up his five fingers.
Then the lightning ball seemed to hit an air wall, blasted, and countless electric arcs glowed and disappeared like fireworks.
"Sure enough, I didn't confuse the wrong person. You're Raiga Kurosuki, and. the bloodline limit owner, the Red Eye." Izayoi grinned, "Having released the original, let you, the pirated version, be my human marionettes."
"I'm running out of time, let's make a quick decision. Bansho Ten'in!"
The invisible gravity was an invisible giant hand, squeezing Raiga Kurosuki on the ground.
"No hand seals, there's nothing visible, what kind of ghost ninjutsu is this?"
Raiga Kurosuki's expression altered fundamentally. He too was quick and crossed his twin swords again, then infused a lot of chakra into lightning swords, all which were transformed to lightning release nature transformation.
"Lightning Release: Raiga!"
The two swords turned into lightning and shot curved lightning at Izayoi, much like laser bursts.
This was Raiga Kurosuki's signature move, much like Kakashi Hatake's Raikiri.
If the lightning went astray, it would fly up into the air, mingle with the dark clouds, and then turn into lightning strikes.
"The move is good, and the sword is good, but. that's all I can praise you for."
Izayoi spread his arms, and a green canopy formed by the bent air from charging materialized.
"Shinra Tensei!"
As Izayoi's voice lowered, the canopy burst like an inflated water balloon strained to its maximum.
The tempest of repulsive force within spilled out at once and dispersed the rain and buried Raiga Kurosuki, who had lost the power of gravity and was falling downwards, and the Kurosuki family who was fleeing beneath.
The deafening roar resounded throughout the mountain town.
Everybody working in the mine and those villagers heard the boom.
Even the mine closest to the blast shook the entire cave violently.
Fortunately, the cave did not collapse.
After the rain once more fell and the wind's blast swept off the dust and mist, there was no sign of the cemetery and it was occupied by an enormous crater instead.
The Kurosuki clan were all killed.
Raiga Kurosuki, having come into direct contact with the ground and struck by the repulsive force, had limbs broken and huge internal organ bleeding.
However, prior to being blown on the ground, Raiga Kurosuki steadfastly dropped the double swords from his grasp and chose to protect Ranmaru at his rear, and therefore the latter did not get killed on the spot, but was seriously injured like him.
When Izayoi dropped from the sky, Raiga Kurosuki was still covered in blood and whispered weakly, "Please. please, spare Ranmaru."
"The people you killed also said the same thing to you, right?"
Izayoi chuckled, "You're an elite Jonin-level missing-nin anyway. Why do you speak so childishly?"
Upon speaking, Izayoi lifted his hand to pull in the double swords with gravity but failed to reverse them and fire them at Raiga Kurosuki and Ranmaru.
He rather smiled at Raiga Kurosuki, "Assist me in conducting an experiment and provide me with the final bit of value while dying."
Izayoi then conducted a hand seal using one of his hands and generated a shadow clone using little chakra.
Then the shadow clone and the main body both grasped the lightning sword, chakra-nourished it, and switched it to lightning release nature transformation, as though they were possessing lightning in their hands.
The shadow clone and the main body hurled out the lightning they were holding inside their hands through the bodies of Raiga Kurosuki and Ranmaru.
But that scene Izayoi wished not to see showed up.
Neither Raiga Kurosuki nor Ranmaru burst with entries.
"Shadow clones and killing humans can't raise the drop rate. Does no other mechanism have the capacity to raise the drop rate?" Izayoi asked himself, "Chakra isn't possibly utilized as a way to measure power. If it is, aside from Jinchuriki and Naruto, there's nobody that can provide me entries. Then how do we measure strength? If it is entries, then from the time I was three years old, there are only a handful of people in the ninja world who are able to provide me entries. But the classmates in class lost their marbles with entries, which means that it's not on the basis of entries! Is it through techniques or action?"
Glancing at Raiga Kurosuki's and Ranmaru's dead bodies, Izayoi murmured softly, "Try this way again. If it won't succeed, I can only become more brutal and wrong the ninja world."
"After all, I have this situation. How can I permit people with worse situations than me to catch up with my decades of effort in a few years?"
Izayoi's anxiety, nobody can comprehend.
