Chapter 16 - Chapter 16

Fugaku and Shisui remained silent for a while and then fugaku asked.

"Shisui, are you sure you want to do this. This is an unknown guy we don't know anything about him. There's no turning back from this if we moved forward with this ."

Shisui didn't hesitate and said.

"I will kill him even if you don't come with me. If he wants to plot our demise and we still don't act, then we deserve to be destroyed."

Fugaku took a deep breath for a while and was about to turn on his mangekyo ability but shisui activated his sharingan faster and said.

"Patriarch, I think I understand some of your abilities, it's to see the future right, but you really seemed to need to see the person, so you seemed to want to see the future and its results but I don't want to know so if you used on me your sharingan, I will use mine."

Fugaku asked taken back.

"Why?. You could be walking to a death trap?".

Shisui said after staying silent and deactivated his eyes.

"I know, but right now I can't help but feel that we trust the sharingan too much.

My trust in my sharingan may had lead to a disaster as I was going to change your will to prevent the coup.

Can you imagine what would happen, we surrounded by enemies sitting just because I believed myself and my sharingan.

So maybe I should learn how to close my eyes sometimes. Didn't Hiruzen do that which solidified his regime?.

So that's what I will do today. I will trust that unknown guy blindly because my heart is telling me to believe.

So what's your heart telling you patriarch?."

Fugaku closed his eyes and after a while opened them then said.

"Okay, let's do it."

Fugaku and Shisui then smiled towards each other and left.

Meanwhile Jack who had time went to the Uzumaki temple in the dead forest.

After a while, he left with the shinigami mask.

He retrieved as he wanted to study it and see if he can unseal Minato's soul without the need to sacrifice someone.

He kept busy studying the mask for a while in a hidout he made in the dead forest.

Two days later, when Jack was going through his daily routine to check the latest news, he heard that the cloud shinobi will arrive today.

He smiled and went back to his hideout.

These days, in addition to studying the mask, he was studying the chakra nature transformation.

One of the biggest benefits of kurama chakra is it flexibility to accept any nature.

Jack studied the nature chakra for wind and thunder.

He wanted to have a basic understanding of all the natures .

But as he seemed pressed by time, he stopped.

He entered the mental space and found naruto here who ran to him the moment he saw him then said proudly.

"Uncle Jack, I completed the water walking exercise. I'm one step closer to learn the flying thunder god technique."

Jack smiled and said.

"Good job. But What about the leaf concentration exercise?."

Naruto seemed a little embarrassed and said with a low voice.

"I can last for 10 minutes only. But it is because it's so boring."

Jack immediately hit him with a light punch on his head.

"Where's your resolve if you are gonna give up so fast. You must maintain it for half an hour at least."

"Okay."

Naruto seemed down so Jack said.

"You have still done a good job with the water walking exercise. But if you completed the leaf concentration, Kakashi will be shocked speechless. So you have to work hard."

Naruto smiled happily again and said.

"I understand "

"Okay, go continue to study with your mother "

Naruto nodded and left.

Jack met with Minato who said

"Any news?."

"Yeah, they are arriving today. They may take action tonight or tomorrow."

"What about fugaku and Shisui. They are still okay?"

"Shisui chakra left the village, he must have been assigned to go to a mission.

Fugaku started to walk around these days. He seemed to want to establish his alibi. "

"Do you think he would kill the man.?"

"I hope so. Anyway Have you thought of a solution to our problem.?"

Jack thought of releasing kurama. The sensory abilities of kurama is a must if they want to catch white Zetsu.

"I thought about and the only I can think of is that you release me from the dead shinigami seal. Then use edo Tensei. That's the only way I can think of."

Jack thought so too. But taking a person life was too much for him right now. He can assist but not directly kill.

"Jack, I know that you ,killing a person, may make uncomfortable but that's the only way. "

"I understand. I will act today then."

Jack then left and went to the market. He saw a carnival leaving and left a mark on one of the guards.

After that he went to Kushina, Minato and other kages graves and took some of their remaining tissue then left after restoring the graves.

The village was busy with the cloud village so they didn't pay attention to the cemetery.

Jack then sensed the mark and transferred to it.

The mark was on the guard back so he didn't notice Jack as after he transferred he left immediately.

Jack then asked Minato about the closest black market and then he went.

There are various things in the black market just as Jack thought.

Jack came here for two things, money as he was broke and humans to be sacrificed. After entering he made sure that he would be seemed afraid and that it appeared to be his first time and was holding something valuable.

Just as he planned, after he noticed some people following him. He made it seem like he spotted one of them. Then he exited the black market as if he was running away.

After reaching an isolated area, he seemed to be relieved.

Five people then appeared in front of him and one of them said.

"Hey body, you ran really fast. You must be very tired. How about you give me that heavy thing you are holding so you can rest."

Jack looked at the man and said.

"Who are ?. I'm not giving you anything. This is my heirloom and I decided against selling it."

"Well, I wasn't really asking for your permission before. Guys, take it from him and capture him, he might be sold for a good price. If he resisted just kill him."

Jack stood up immediately and spoke with an indifferent voice now.

"Oh, human traffickers. Got right from the first time.I don't have to go to that place again."

Jack attacked them immediately. They were two jonin and three chunin but they didn't manage to resist much and were unconscious.

Jack's daily combat with Minato was a privilege that no one can have.

After that he got one of chunin far away and then said.

"I want you to use a technique for me, after that I will leave you, but this technique is painful so if you don't want to, tell me to kill right now."

The chunin was terrified . So he replied quickly.

"No I will use the technique."

"Good, all you have to do is wear this mask , and do the sealing technique technique that i teach you then cut you abdomen. Don't worry I will heal immediately "

The chunin was terrified and said.

"You are lying, there is no way that I will survive that."

Jack looked at him for a while then said.

"Well, you might have chance to survive but you have to do it quickly. After the technique is released, I immediately try to save you. But I don't know whether you can survive or not. So which one do you want to chose. Certain death or possible death.?"

Chunin began to beg for his life.

"Please, I'm sorry. I will never fo that again "

"Mmmm, well certain death it's."

Jack then made a rasengan and the chunin yelled.

"Wait, I will do the technique, I will do the technique ."

He knew that Jack might be lying but he didn't seem to lie about killing him immediately if he refused .

Between certain death and possible death, he in the end chose the possible death.

"Good choice. Now let's began."

After teaching him the Reaper Death Unseal the chunin began.

After releasing the fuinjutsui he cut his stomach. The shinigami appeared and released Minato's soul.

After seeing Minato's soul, Jack immediately killed the chunin so that he doesn't suffer. Well, at least he did something good before dying.

Taking out kushina's and Minato's remainning, he used the two jonins to perform the edo Tensei technique.

After that paper like substance began to appear from the ground sticking to the jonins bodies.

After a while, Minato and kushina opened their eyes.

Minato looked at his body and understood what's going on then looked around and saw Jack so he asked.

"Who are, is that Edo Tensei?. How did you release my soul from the shinigami.?"

"Minato.?, where's is this? What's going on.?"

Kushina seemed to be confused.

Jack smiled and said.

"Can you bump fist with me, you understand everything about the situation."

Minato looked at Jack for a while then nodded.

The moment he bumped his fist, he appeared at the mental space.

He saw his counterpart and frowned.

"Hey original, it's nice to see you. Come bump your fist."

Minato looked his face and didn't see any kind of manipulation so he bumped. After a while he looked at his counterpart in shock.

At the same time, yang kurama and yin kurama were connected. Yin kurama was still not in partnership with Minato . But when he gained his yang part of memories he let go of his hatred.

The chakra remaining in Naruto said .

"Yeah, that really happened. We don't know exactly what's going on but Jack have been helping Naruto and us all this time ."

Minato the Edo Tensei calmed down as he couldn't doubt what his other self told him.

"I understand. Thank you for everything "

Minato looked at Jack and said.

"You are welcome. Now let's get kushina."

After kushina, she seemed happy but as it was night time, they didn't get to meet Naruto personally.

Minato then released his kurama mode.

"I'm now extremely weakened, so I have a limited sense range."

After feeling nothing, Minato said.

But contrary to his prediction, he heard Jack say

" thank god, I was really afraid that we got noticed. I had to keep changing my face every single day, switch to kurama chakra to make sure no white Zetsu spores were on me."

Minato smiled and said.

"There's no need to worry anymore."

"Good. Now I will return to Konoha, I'm sure you know what to do. Try to be as undetectable as you can be. Give me your kyunai "

"Wait, I want to meet Naruto."

Kushina said after she heard Jack leaving,

Jack thought for a while then said.

"Okay, it will be a good idea to leave a shadow clone with you. You can access the mental space and I will be kept in touch "

Then Jack released a shadow clone and returned to Konoha after wishing them good luck.

After he returned, he released the shadow clone he left in the hide out as a cautionary move to monitor Konoha.

But nothing seemed to happen tonight. He then continued his research on chakra nature.

A day passed quickly but there was still no sign of white Zetsu clones. The problem was the sensory ability of Edo Tensei Minato was extremely limited. As he could only sense from a hundred meters . So Jack had to wait another day.

Tonight however, our cloud village envoy seemed to started to make a move. Jack felt the signature chakra for one of them moving towards huyga compound.

What he didn't know was that fugaku was monitoring the huyga compound too.

From the day they came here, he started to monitor the compound personally. After he felt that someone entered the compound, he immediately opened his mangekyo and looked at the person.

After knowing where he will be headed, he moved there and waited after hiding his presence.

The cloud shinobi then came out holding Hinata in his hand.

Fugaku then ambushed him but only knocked him out but didn't kill him. Jack sense it and transfered to a mark close by then walked to him.

Fugaku looked at Jack with calm eyes.

"Why didn't you kill him?."

Fugaku said.

"I took action myself, but I don't think I need to sacrifice my people just because I disagree with them. If it's not necessary, I won't take that step.

I also decided to participate in killing Danzo, after his death, I think my clan members will change their mind."

Jack looked at fugaku for a moment then said.

"Well, our deal is still valid. Take Itachi to tsunade for a check up, he needs it if he want to survive.

By the way, there might be poison in his mouth so keep watching. And If the Uchiha tried to coup, I will kill them. I like you when you're rational, but hate chaos more.

Hiashi is on the move and because he see quite far, i will take my leave."

Jack immediately transported away.

Hiashi huyga came running and stopped when he saw fugaku standing there with Hinata on his hand.

Fugaku looked at him and said.

"Someone tried to kidnap her for her eyes, but she is alright."

Hiashi took Hinata into his arm and said.

"Thank you."

"you are welcome. We are fellow companies after all, so we should help each other, don't we?."

Hiashi looked at fugaku with a surprised face. Because a uchiha saying something like that was like the sun rising from the west. Uchiha always adhered to rely on themselves only.

"Of course, Uchiha patriarch, we are companions indeed."

"Good, I need you to check this guy body, he is from the cloud village. I think he might have been in a suicide mission."

Hiashi frowned and checked with byakugan and indeed saw something planted on his abdomen .

"There's something on his abdomen, I don't know what it's."

Fugaku stayed silent then said what he saw with his eyes as a deduction.

"Maybe, he wanted baiting you to him in the abdomen to kill him. I think he wanted Konoha to let you bear the pressure of possible war and let you sacrifice your life for peace then they would get a byakugan "

Hiashi immediately felt sweat rolling down on his back. The huyga is baited to hit an enemy on the abdomen, is like a bear smelling the scent of honey. Yo don't need to think about if they are going to eat it.

"Do you plan to take him to uchiha prison?."

"No, this a foreign matters under the Anbu. So can you send someone to the Hokage to report?."

"Of course.hizashi , send someone."

Hizashi and the other huyga arrived awhile after hiashi.

Not long after, Hokage came with the Anbu. After he came. He asked immediately.

" fugaku patriarch, what happened here.?"

Fugaku eyes were calm as he explained the matter.

"Well, I will investigate everything about this situation."

Hiruzen then gave a sign and the anbu moved to take them but fugaku said.

"A moment Hokage sama, there's apparently something on his abdomen that may activate and kill him to frame Konoha, so we should be careful not to fall into their trap."

Hiruzen looked at fugaku for a while then nodded.

"Good, we will be careful."

The Hokage then left with the anbu. Fugaku said to hiashi.

"Well, huyga patriarch, I will take my leave as I still have work to do."

"Of course and thank you, one more time."

Fugaku nodded and then left.

Hiruzen along the way was thinking about what's going on.

Why did fugaku appear there. He of course heard about fugaku making rounds himself and although he didn't understand what he was doing, he couldn't question him.

The uchiha is making moves and Shisui is outside on a mission , this really worrisome.

He then looked at the cloud shinobi with a slight anger. Can't you cloud village calm down for a while. But why do I feel unease.

I hope that you Danzo doesn't have a hand in this.
