Systematic Shinobi - Chapter 16.2

He wasn't at all expecting the place Sasuke showed him.

For one, it was way bigger than he thought it was going to be. It looked for all intents and purposes like a Japanese-style mansion, all sliding doors and everything.

And it was he repeated, big. The place had three bathrooms, multiple in house storage rooms, a large living room and kitchen, a dining room and eight bedrooms, one of them being a much larger master bedroom.

That was only the main house itself. On top of that, as requested, the place had a large koi pond, and he did mean large, it was at the front of the house, on both sides of the path leading towards the main house, the path built right over it. There were multiple gardens that while untamed now, were most likely used for growing fruit and vegetables. And to top it all off, at the back of the property, there was a large spread out yard, big enough to contain a large storage shed and moderate sized training dojo and still have plenty of space left over for him to train.

The place was run down for sure, because nobody had lived in it for years, but it was still connected to the electrical grids and stuff apparently, he'd just need to get them turned back on.

"So, what do you think?" Sasuke asked once they were done. They were currently sitting on the back porch, overlooking the back yard, "Want it?"

"Yeah I want it," Daiki looked at the boy as if he were crazy, who wouldn't want this place? "No way I can afford it though, this place is amazing." way fucking better than his shitty little apartment.

"I'll give it you to cheap," Sasuke shrugged in response, "It's not perfect or anything and needs works done on it, so isn't worth as much as it used to be, and if you don't have enough, I'll let you pay it in instalments over time."

…That could work. Sending a clone out every day when he was training to do a D-rank was already pulling him in a nice tidy sum. He could just do multiple he supposed.

And there were always missing ninja out and about somewhere to hunt down.

"Alright, that works out well enough for me," Daiki agreed, "How much you want for it?"

Sasuke shrugged again, "Like I said, pretty cheap, I'll give you it for ten million."

Daiki's mouth dropped, "That's it?!" he gaped.

Sasuke smirked at his shock, "I told you, cheap," he pointed out, "Besides, the Uchiha land in general has went down quite a bit in value over the last few years with nobody to take care of the place and you know, being pretty far from the interior of the village on top of what happened to my clan, civilians are a superstitious bunch, they think ghosts and demons or something are going to haunt them." a frown spread across his face as he finished explaining the reason why he was selling it so cheap.

Daiki winced, the air becoming a bit melancholy around them, "…Actually, demons and ghosts are a real thing." he pointed out, changing the subject.

Sasuke gave him an odd look, before huffing and rolling his eyes, "Bullshit." the older boy retorted.

"No, I'm not kidding," Daiki shook his head and laughed, "Hell is a literal real place, there's even a summoning clan that came from hell once, they got sealed in a bunch of doors though."

"Have you been doing drugs?" Sasuke asked incredulously. "Demons, sealed into doors? Do you hear how stupid you sound?"

"Hey man, Hashirama Senju could summon them, hell he used them against your ancestor Madara from what I hear," Daiki shot back, "Actually, I even know where some kind of demon fucker is right now, calls itself Kageboshi, it's not actually far from the village actually."

He'd actually confirmed the place it appeared in was a real place. The thing was pretty damn strong considering it took a shippuden three tail cloak Naruto to beat it.

He'd had the idle idea since Isobu told him about the origins of the Rashamon, about going after it and forcing it to become his subordinate.

Sasuke was still giving him a disbelieving look, "I'll believe it when I see it," he snorted, "So you want the house then?" he asked, moving on.

"Yeah, I'll take it," Daiki put the topic on the shelf for now and agreed, "Actually, this is a pretty big place, who did it belong to before?" it would have to be someone at least semi important, right?

"A cousin of mine," Sasuke shrugged, "His name was Shisui, this is where his family has lived for decades before…"

Wait…this place was fucking Shisui's house?

"As in Shisui of the Shunshin?" Daiki wanted to confirm.

"You know him?" Sasuke blinked, surprised.

"Only by reputation," Daiki explained quickly, "Dude was a badass, he made the shunshin actually full on viable in combat and mastered it so well he could use it on the fly with no hand seals, I heard people compare him to the Yondaime Hokage a few times."

Sasuke's lips quirked up, "…He was a pretty cool guy." he agreed lightly.

Daiki agreed. Shisui was such a fucking badass. And his Susanoo was so fucking epic, the green colouring of it was so nice and it had a full on drill arm.

To bad that cunt Danzo had to fuck everyone over. If he didn't, the village would have the full Uchiha clan still, alongside Itachi and Shisui, both who would no doubt be powerful S-class shinobi by this time.

Then he wouldn't need to worry about the Akatsuki as much. He would have a freaking Itachi on his side after all.

Fucking Danzo, he was why Konoha couldn't have nice things man.

Daiki frowned, looking at Sasuke.

…Should he?

He couldn't tell him all he knew of course, but, he had an excuse. And he could give Sasuke some information in regards to what Itachi had been up to using Isobu as an excuse.

And also put him on guard against Obito.

The dude was being a pretty good friend to him right now. And he was suddenly feeling a little guilty about the knowledge he had that pertained to the other boy.

Daiki pushed chakra into his eyes, enhancing his vision and allowing him to see chakra and through any obstacle.

Then turned his idly from side to side. The only people that could hide from these eyes, were people with these eyes. Not even Zetsu would be able to hide from him. Trick him, most likely yes considering he could perfectly mimic the looks and chakra of another, but hide from him? Not a chance.

'Nobody.' Daiki noted. The closest people were over a thousand feet away. There weren't even any anbu watching him or Sasuke.

"Why are your eyes glowing?" Sasuke asked.

"Just checking to make sure nobody is spying on us, these eyes of mine can do basically everything the Byakugan can except the three sixty vision," Daiki explained idly, before drawing the chakra from his eyes and focusing on Sasuke, "Nobody around but us."

"You expected there to be?" the other boy asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Can never be too careful," Daiki responded, 'What do you think?' he asked internally.

'I'll leave it up to you.' Isobu responded simply.

He nodded, "Actually, on the topic of your family," Daiki began, "On my last mission, thanks to some things that went down, I've come across some information about your brother since he left the village."

Sasuke's eyes abruptly widened in shock, before quickly narrowing, "Tell me." he demanded, no nonsense.

Usually, Daiki would probably make a quip about him being rude, but, he understood, this wasn't quite the right moment. Even just some passing information about Itachi, was incredibly important to Sasuke, his brother was the guys main driving force in life right now.

"What do you know about Jinchuuriki?" Daiki asked.

Sasuke frowned, brows furrowing in deep thought, "Power of the human sacrifice?" he said, "Is that some kind of suicide jutsu? Or some kind of power from killing people?"

"Not quite," Daiki shook his head, "Do you remember the Kyuubi?"

"Considering how often it gets brought up, no," he huffed, impatiently, "What about it? What does the Kyuubi have to do with this?"

"I'm getting to it, you need context to understand dude," Daiki rolled his eyes, "The Kyuubi is what's known as a Bijuu, nine of them in total, each with a specific amount of tails from one to nine, the Kyuubi being the strongest of them."

"...And?" Sasuke prompted.

"Bijuu can't die, it's as simple as that, when they're killed, they just reform," Daiki dropped, "They have to be sealed away, but not anything can work for that. It needs to be people to hold them for any length of time, these people are called Jinchuuriki."

"And bringing this up in regards to Itachi, means he's got something to do with these Jinchuuriki or wants them for something?" Sasuke caught on pretty quick.

"Quite," Daiki nodded, "The thing about Jinchuuriki, is that they can usually use the power of the Bijuu sealed in them, granted, that's simplifying it a lot and it comes with a lot of risks. But, being a Jinchuuriki comes with a bunch of benefits, like massive chakra reserves, incredible endurance, a natural healing factor and depending on the bijuu, special almost kekkai genkai like abilities."

"I see…" Sasuke responded and fell silent for a moment, before; "So I take it then, that Itachi is hunting these Jinchuuriki for some reason. Going from what you told me, for the power being one gives?"

"That, I'm not sure on, I just know he attacked a Jinchuuriki and has joined a group that's all about that," Daiki replied, he did know what the real goal was, but he had no way of explanation as to why, so he kept mum on the subject, "What I do know, is that the former Mizukage was a Jinchuuriki, a near perfect jinchuuriki capable of using almost all of the power of his Bijuu and your brother alongside the guy that Zabuza Momochi replaced in the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, attacked him to steal his bijuu a few months after he went rogue."

Sasuke's eyes widened massively, "The Mizukage!?" he sputtered.

"He didn't win," Daiki quickly assured him, "His partner even got killed in the process which is why he was replaced when his sword was reclaimed. But your brother managed to escape and injured the Mizukage in the process, the thing is he apparently shot some crazy black flames from his eyes, his Sharingan was different as well from yours, it had some crazy shuriken-like pattern in them."

"Mangekyou Sharingan!" Sasuke hissed.

"Yeah, that's what he called it," Daiki confirmed, "The fire was called Amaterasu by the way. The injuries he caused to the Mizukage, was what made him lose against the rebellion against him like a year later and he died."

Sasuke clicked his tongue, "So that guy Zabuza failed to kill, died because of Itachi?"

"Kind of," Daiki nodded, "That's not the only thing though. You know how there was a rebellion for years in the Mist and everyone hated the Mizukage?"

Sasuke shrugged, "Zabuza said something about it when we was bragging to Kakashi." he replied.

"Yeah, see, the Mizukage was a pretty nice guy apparently," Daiki revealed, "Until suddenly he wasn't. The thing is, his personality changed over night, and I found out just recently as well, that it was because he was being controlled, by a man with the Sharingan who claimed to be Madara Uchiha."

"Absurd," Sasuke shook his head, "Madara is long dead, he was killed by Hashirama Senju over fifty years ago."

"It's mostly likely a pretender," Daiki agreed, "But he does have the sharingan as well, so unless he stole it from someone, he's most likely an Uchiha as well, especially since he and Itachi seem to know each other."

"Another traitor then?" Sasuke growled, before shaking his head, "Alright, this is a lot to take in. Do you have any proof about it?"

"I heard it from the horses mouth himself, or rather, the turtle." Daiki smirked, pointing at the Isobu shaped pauldron on his shoulder.

"What?" Sasuke blinked.

"I can't really get into the full thing," Daiki replied, "But you know how I'm pretty damn good with seals?"

"Vividly, my stomach especially remembers after you used that Force Palm Jutsu of yours on me the first time." Sasuke remarked dryly.

"Well, I've been getting better and better lately," Daiki nodded, "And during my last mission, I came across a member of the Seven Swordsman Of The Mist, or well a former one, like Zabuza that you guys fought. Him, and a bunch of other crazy traitor ninja from the Village of Artisans teamed up together, because the Bijuu inside the Mizukage, reformed in a lake in the Land of Rivers."

Sasuke said nothing, just digesting the words, he was letting Daiki continue obviously before saying anything.

"They planned to well, use the Sanbi to make a bunch of super weapons and then attack the Leaf with it," Daiki revealed, "They'd planned it out a lot. With special eyes that could hypnotise the Bijuu and special armour and weapons that could drain its chakra and weaken it, so they could seal it or rather him, themselves."

"I see, your eyes." Sasuke realised.

Daiki smirked, "Yep," he confirmed, "Basically, even with all their preparations, they were weak and exhausted, so I jumped in myself, sealed the Bijuu inside myself, broke it from the hypnosis and teamed up with it to kill them all."

Sasuke went totally quiet and just stared at Daiki. For a full on minute, he said nothing, and just seemed to digest everything he was told, "So you're one of these Jinchuuriki then and you can talk with this Sanbi that you sealed in yourself?" he asked.

Daiki simply nodded.

"So the Sanbi itself told you about Itachi then, and if it was inside the Mizukage, it would know all about the guy controlling him as well," Sasuke grimaced, before his eyes widened in what looked like panic, "Meaning, Itachi is out there right now hunting these other jinchuuriki, could have captured one or more already and gotten the power of these bijuu to himself!"

"He's not," Daiki was quick to assured him, "If the other Jinchuuriki disappeared, it would be big news like the Mizukage."

Sasuke froze, "How do you know?" he asked, pressing.

"Because Jinchuuriki are spread around the main villages, generally used to deter wars," Daiki explained, "Sand has the 1-tail, Mist had the 3-tails and the 6-tails, Stone has the four and five-tails, Cloud has the two and eight-tails, Waterfall has the seven-tails and Konoha has the nine-tails, and now the three-tails with me."

"Oh…" Sasuke swallowed, "This…this is really big then isn't it?"

"Pretty much," Daiki nodded, "If a Jinchuuriki goes missing, their village will start pointing fingers and it might just lead to the fourth great shinobi world war."

Sasuke clenched his fists, "…That bastard, it wasn't enough to murder our clan, but now this?!" he shook with rage.
Daiki didn't comment and just let the boy sort himself out.

A deep shuddering breath left the Uchiha and he stood up, "I need some time to think," Sasuke said, giving him a tight nod, "I'll get the money from you for this place later, but for now, I need to go."

"It's a lot to take in, yeah." Daiki agreed, bidding him goodbye with a small wave.

Once Sasuke left the place behind, Daiki looked around himself and nodded, "Guess I can start moving in and getting this place fixed up." he mused.

Thank fuck for Shadow Clones.
