Chapter 142: 138. Night Reaper Part-2
A/N:- Merry Xmas Everyone. My finals are finally over. Now we are back to schedule.
-------------------------
Izuna calmly lies down on the bed with his eyes half-open.
Huh...
He notices a black apparition slowly crawling towards him.
'So... that's the assassin. I wonder how is he able to see me.'
The Assassin takes out the special transparent kunai and peeks through the blade of the kunai.
'This kunai is made from a special mineral found deep in the veins of the earth. It allows us to locate see in this absolute darkness and locate our target. My Kamishiro clan utilizes this special technique passed down through generations to fight in battle.
We had a very high aptitude for Genjutsu and Yin release. Thus we created the Night Release technique. Kamishiro clan was famed for their skillful use of Genjutsu. We were feared for our secret assassination techniques, and many other clans and villages hired us.
Our fame spread throughout the entire shinobi world when a few of our members successfully assassinated the First Kazekage... followed by the Second Kazekage during the Second Shinobi War.
Soon, the entire shinobi world saw us as a threat and the hidden villages sent their powerful forces to annihilate our village hidden deep in the Land of Silence.
They annihilated and killed almost the entirety of my clan. Only a handful of people escaped from the village. I was a young teenager at that time. I ran away from the village... starved in hunger for God knows how many days.
Finally, Akifumi-sama found me. He fed me... sheltered me... and to pay my gratitude. I became his hidden blade. A blade that will terrorize his enemies in the wake of night. I became the 'Night Reaper'.'
'Time to die.'
The Assassin raises his kunai and stabs it towards Izuna's heart.
'No one has ever escaped from the deadly Night Release of our clan. Even if the 'Silent Shinigami' of Konoha appears before me... he will also fall under my blade like the rest of the world.'
Stab... clank...
A shard of ice blocks the kunai and deflects it. The assassin panics for a second before he calms down.
'I don't believe he can see me in this darkness. We have assassinated many sensor ninjas and even the possessor of many powerful Kekkei Genkai using this technique. Unless the user has a powerful defense like the Third Raikage or a similar shield... then we are helpless against him.'
The 'Night Reaper' remembers his failed assassination of Third Raikage, where his kunai wasn't able to pierce through the absolute defense.
'That was the biggest humiliation of my life. As a Kamishiro clan member... I failed to complete an assassination. It won't happen again... it must be a fluke. I will try again.'
Izuna calmly looks at the assassination whose entire body is draped in black clothes and his face is covered with a black mask.
'Are we playing some sort of Assassin Creed here? Why does he look like a brotherhood member?'
Swish... Swish... swish...
The assassin flails his hands around to perform some unusual hand signs.
"..."
'What kind of ritual is he performing?'
Swish...
The special kunai flies towards the assassin and falls into his hand. The assassin infuses some chakra into the blade.
'Night Release: Stab of Umbrage'
Swish...
He swiftly moves in Izuna's direction to stab him again.
"..."
"I can see you alright."
Clank...
Izuna blocks another attack with an ice shard as he remarks to the assassin.
"Impossible... impossible! How can this be possible?"
The Assassin yells hysterically.
'No... this can't be true. You are lying.'
Stab... clank...
He tries to stab Izuna again, only to get parried by him.
Kurama closes its eyes again.
Haha...
Minato chuckles at Kurama and introduces him.
"The real name of the Nine-tails fox is...
"Kurama... right?" Izuna replies to him.
Kurama's eyes-widens as it stares at Izuna.
Sigh...
"Yes... I am not even surprised anymore." Minato sighs as he continues.
"Since... our chakra and soul were linked together... we were able to converse and reconcile with him. I don't blame him anymore."
Kurama opens his eyes and grins at Minato.
"Give a hug to big sister Kushina." Kushina rushes towards Izuna and hugs him.
"You have turned into a big boy in these past few years. I am sure plenty of girls have fallen for you." Kushina chuckles as she teases Izuna.
"It... it is not like that." Izuna hurriedly denies her.
Haha...
Kushina laughs at Izuna's reaction.
"Soon... Kushina nee-san... I will heal both of you soon." Izuna clenches his fist as he promises to Kushina.
"You don't have to push yourself... Izuna-kun." Kushina pats his head.
"Naruto is truly blessed to have a caring big-brother like you. Also... I am waiting for the day... when I will be able to hug him in my embrace and shower him with all of my love."
"Yes... that day will come soon."
Izuna assures Minato and Kushina.
He turns towards the Grimoire and questions.
"What kind of thing are you? How are you able to do almost anything?"
Ptui...
The Grimoire spits out the handle of the kunai, which hits Izuna straight into the face.
Haha...
Kurama burst out in laughter.
"That's what you get for calling her a thing?"
Izuna turns towards Kurama and tilts his head in confusion.
???What do you mean by her?"
Rattle... Rattle...
The chains around the sin grimoire rattles. Kurama immediately shuts its mouth and starts to behave like a cute dog.
"..."
Izuna silently stares at Kurama and questions.
"Where is the dignity of the most powerful tailed beast which you boast of so proudly?"
Humph...
Kurama snorts and replies.
"I don't give jack shit about dignity. Besides, it won't help me in this situation."
"..."
'Is he influenced by me? I have been using such kind of cusses a lot.'
