"Well, I need to take care of this chore."
The shadow clone follows after the anbu.
Inside Kiri,
The subordinate of Fuji Terumi leads Izuna towards a small house. He gives keys to Izuna.
"This would be your temporary residence. If you need something... you can always find me."
"Ok!"
Izuna nods his head and grabs the keys.
Click…
He opens the lock and enters inside.
Cough… cough…Kimimaro coughs from the excessive dust inside the house.
"Looks like the house needs some cleaning. Rest is fine!"
He turns towards the shinobi and thanks him.
The shinobi looks around to make sure no one is listening to their conversation before he advises Izuna.
"I would advise you to not reveal your identity as an outsider. Kiri is going through chaotic times and if anyone gets suspicious of you. They will send assassins after you. Also, my name is Akasuki."
"I will keep that in mind." Izuna nods his head in gratitude.
'Well… I won't mind if someone tries to assassinate me.'
He enters the house and notices Kimimaro who is cleaning the floor.
"There is no need to waste your time with such chores. You should instead focus on your training."
Izuna makes some hand signs and blows away the dust out of the house.
Kimimaro silently stares at Izuna and takes out a small diary from his pocket and writes something on it.
Izuna frowns as he notices the diary.
"What are you doing?" He curiously questions Kimimaro.
"I found this diary inside one of the closets in the house. I want to write down all the instructions and guidance in the diary."
Izuna nods his head. He makes some hand signs and places various silencing seal around the house. He turns to Kimimaro and continues his explanation.
"I have heard about the abilities of the Kaguya clan and it seems like your Kekkei Genkai is strongest among them all. Your body and chakra are centered around your Kekkei Genkai… so it would be a waste to train you in other ninjutsu."
Kimimaro silently nods his head as he listens to the explanation.
"…. So we will focus on Taijutsu. You will be able to push your Kekkei Genkai to limits if your body is stronger."
Izuna takes out some Fuinjutsu tags from his pocket. He makes some hand signs and places them on Kimimaro's legs and arms.
Puchi…
Kimimaro falls on the ground as he struggles to stand up. He continues to struggle for a while before he regains his balance and stands up.
Huff… Huff…
He breathes heavily and takes support against the wall.
"These tags are Fuinjutsu tags with gravity seals on them."
Izuna removes his bandages to reveal three tags around his right arm.
Kimimaro's eyes widen as he stares at Izuna's hand with shock.
"… these tags will constantly apply two times the normal gravity on your body and will effectively act as weights. Once you can walk normally with them on… we will start the next step of your training. Till then, get used to these weights because this is just the beginning."
Kimimaro wobbles as he struggles to walk.
Izuna looks outside the house and notices an Anbu member monitoring his house.
"Looks like they still don't trust me. I don't care either way… I am here as a spectator… but I hate stalkers. So… I will mess with him a little."
Swoosh… blink…
Izuna disappears from his position and reappears in front of the Anbu member.
"What the…" The Anbu member's eyes widen.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan"
Izuna cast a genjutsu on him before he could utter any more words. He places his hand on Anbu member's head and reads his memory.
"So… this is the gist of Kiri's situation. I still have to reach the root of the matter to know more."
Izuna shakes his head and manipulates Anbu memory.
"Now he won't trouble me anymore."
Swoosh… blink…
Izuna disappears again and reappears inside the house.
'I will stay here for another month or two. I want to pamper my cute little sister.'
Izuna smiles as he thinks about his sister.
'She is still a baby but it won't be long before she grows up.'
Hah…
'Now I have to think of a way to prolong my stay in Kirigakure… But the excuse which I made up won't last that long. They will turn suspicious of me.'
Kimimaro stares at Izuna and notes down something in his diary.
"…"
Izuna looks at Kimimaro scribbling something in his diary and shakes his head.
He rests on a cot as he looks out of the window.
'I have turned 17 this year. It has been 17 years since my rebirth in this world. I have a family and made many new friends.'
Izuna closes his eyes and falls asleep. Kimimaro slowly stands up and covers him with a blanket.
Izuna raises his eyebrow as he notices Kimimaro.
'What's with this situation? Kimimaro is turning into a nanny. Never mind… I need to sleep.'
------------------
Bang… bang…
A faint vibration disturbs his sleep as the entire house is shaking. Izuna opens his eyes and stares at the door.
'Who is bothering me this early in the morning?'
He activates his X-Ray vision and looks through the door.
Mei is slamming his door with anger.
'Ops! I forgot to remove the silencing seal.'
He immediately gets up and opens the door.
"What took you so long? I have been knocking on your door for the past 15 minutes." Mei angrily questions him.
Izuna scratches his head as he replies.
"I was pretty tired from the journey yesterday… so I overslept."
"…"
"Ok… never mind that… father wants to meet you. He sent me here to fetch you."
Mei turns around and walks away.
'Oh! Looks like they are quite satisfied by my backstory.'
He silently follows after Mei.
---------------------
Inside a small mansion,
Fuji inspects a scroll as the Anbu reports to him. Elder Genji is seated beside him and Wakan is standing behind him.
"Fuji-sama… as per your orders I went to the nearest village to investigate his background. His story seems to be correct. His family did live in the village and his mother died recently because of an unknown illness."
Fuji reads the content of the scroll about Yuito's past. He turns to Elder Genji for the suggestion.
Elder Genji nods his head and advises.
"Try to recruit him. He is a member of the Yuki clan with its powerful Ice Release. With him… in our ranks… we will get an advantage against the forces of the noble clans."
Elder Genji pauses for a while.
"Send your daughter to call him here."
Fuji frowns as he questions Genji.
"Elder Genji… are you trying to rope him through my daughter."
Elder Genji nods his head.
"Your daughter is of marriageable age. If we could recruit a powerful shinobi by engaging with her… then we should try it."
Fuji's frowns deepen as he raises his voice.
"I won't turn my daughter into a pawn. And besides… we had yet to test his capabilities. What if… he is just talk… with no actual strength. I don't want to marry my beloved daughter to a random weakling."
Sigh…
Elder Genji sighs and continues.
"Political warfare isn't won through emotions. It is won through wits. The noble clans are clearly making a move against you. They are already aware of their failed attempt and I am sure this won't be their first attempt…"
Fuji calms down as he listens to Elder Genji and ponders.
"… your daughter is your successor. If anything happens to her... then our faction will lose its future. So, I want to make sure there is a strong bodyguard beside her."
"That seems plausible." Fuji nods his head in agreement.
"… as for his capabilities. We will let that matter to Noble clans to handle."
Fuji frowns as he thinks for a while.
"Elder Genji… you mean to say that the noble clans will be pissed by this new variable and they will try to eliminate him."
Elder Genji nods his head.
"Correct… I am sure they don't want any powerful ally to join you. Also… the next village meeting for new elders is around the corner. I am sure they will try every means to usurp your seat."
Fuji thinks for a while before he nods his head. He summons Mei over and sends her to Izuna's place.
----------------------
Inside a large mansion.
Bam…
Akifumi slams his hand on a table as he listens to the report. He quickly dismisses the Anbu and made sure he was alone in the room.
"Madara-sama must be disappointed by me. I failed to fulfill his objective."
Akifumi clenches his fists as veins pop out from his head.
"Ten elite Anbu members. I lost ten of my most elite Anbus in that fight with no success."
Bam…
He slams his fist on the table and destroys it.
"The perpetrator must pay for his insolence. He dared to interfere with Madara-Sama's order."
Akifumi angrily stares at a drawing of Izuna as Yuito. He picks up the drawing and turns it into ashes.
"Men!"
Akifumi yells in anger. A few anbus immediately enters the room.
