Chapter 52: Talk to me Kyuubi!!
"Let's go!"
The three of them vanished from the room, reappearing in the middle of the air. When they looked down they could see a large mass of land that was shrouded by forests and mountains.
The land was occupied by ninjas claiming it to be the village of the hidden leaf. This was Matatabi and Kokuo's first time coming to Konoha and they looked at the village with scanning eyes.
Tsukimi scanned the whole village with his senses and spoke up.
"It seems Hashirama and Tobirama are dead, even most of their descendants are the same."
Matatabi raised her eyebrow in response, she looked back at the village and sensed that there was not even a single noticeable level of chakra signature in the village.
After they grew stronger in these years even kage level shinobi were worth nothing in their eyes.
Kokuo looked at Tsukimi and asked, "How will we enter the village? Do we have to hide?"
Tsukimi looked back at her and smirked. Without answering he looked down at the village where everyone was busy in their business.
Suddenly his third eye opened and everything around him seemed to halt, his eye focused on the whole village as he mumbled.
"Genjutsu Rinne-sharingan"
A pulse of invisible energy released from his eye enveloping the entire ninja village, everyone came to a halt for a few seconds before resuming their work like nothing happened.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was now the Hokage of the leaf village, did not find anything weird happening.
Tsukimi's rinne-sharingan closed and his forehead turned back to normal. Kokuo and Matatabi looked at him for an explanation of what he just did.
Tsukimi said, "I used Genjutsu on the entire village. Now they think we are orphans rescued by Senju's in the previous Ninja war that just ended. Tobirama's student is taking care of our papers."
Kokuo and Matatabi nodded in understanding, this was quite a reasonable background for them to enter the village. They won't be questioned about their origins all the time because they have been saved by someone from the Senju clan.
"Where are we going to live then?" Matatabi asked this time, she looked at the village and added, "this village is not even big enough for it to be our courtyard."
Her comment made Tsukimi chuckle, " we will live in the Senju family compound. They just lost many of their people in the war, so they have quite a few rooms to let them stay in."
Their figures disappeared once again and reappeared in an empty courtyard. In front of them was a small house but it was enough for the three kids to live inside.
Tsukimi walked forward and raised his hands. Seals after seals appeared surrounding the entire house before disappearing after a while.
"Let's go inside."
Following Tsukimi they made their way inside the house through the main door.
Matatabi and Kokuo's eyes widened in shock. As they entered the hall of the house it was already as big as the house itself.
Seeing their amazing looks Tsukimi chimed in from behind, " I used space laws to enlarge the small area of the house and some other seals to change all the furniture. One more thing, aside from us no one will even notice these changes."
They nodded coming out of their stupor, even though they have seen him create miracles after miracles, he never ceases to amaze them.
"We should check the house first to get used to it and then we might have to meet Mito Uzumaki." Tsukimi stated and both the girls eagerly left to check out the entire house, Tsukimi already knew everything about the house when he selected it.
This was the best house he could find in the ones that are available in the area. He walked towards the couch and closed his eyes to rest.
Meanwhile in the main house of the Senju Clan.
In the open garden of the clan, an old woman sat on the ground looking at the sky with a slight frown on her face.
She closed her eyes and appeared in a dark area.
Her eyes wandered around the entire area scanning through every bit of it before landing on a huge gate of a familiar seal. This was the seal she created herself a long time ago to seal a demon.
She made the seal so that she could use the power of the demon for herself but things didn't go as she planned. At first everything was going fine, she was able to tap into kyuubi chakra mode for up to 7 tails without any problems.
She was already on the level around her brother in law with that power and was feared in all the elemental nations.
Everything went sideways when her husband died in a battle against that cursed friend of his that almost stole her husband from her. After he died from the injuries he received in the battle, Tobirama took over as the Hokage and it was not long before he died as well.
It was said that he was ambushed by two brothers but to her it seemed like the position of the Hokage was cursed. It took two of the most important people in her life. Even her son also died along with his wife on a mission.
When the Student of her brother in law took over as Hokage, the number of people from the Senju clan that passed away in the frontlines increased exponentially over the period of time.
She would be blind, if she did not notice who was behind it. Yet, she did not make a move, she was tired of all the battles and fighting. In return she turned blind eye to the death of her classmate.
As long as her granddaughter and grandson were fine, she would be fine with everything. The time passed by and the number of the Senju survivors decreased even further. Only a handful of people from her clan survived.
One day she received news of her Granddaughter being injured and her anger shot through the roof. It wasn't a major injury but it was her precious Tsunade who got injured, how could she be indifferent to it.
Her chakra flared but something about it was different, she noticed she could not tap into the kyuubi's chakra, it seemed the connection which siphoned the chakra from the tailed beast was blocked.
This discovery panicked her to the core. She immediately confronted the fox and saw it leisurely lying behind the seal with its eyes closed. Before she could say anything the demon fox opened its eyes and sent her outside the seal.
Before leaving she saw that the eyes of the fox were filled with contempt and disgust when they landed on her.
She trembled seeing those eyes judging her, she appeared back outside with a pale face. Ever since then she had been careful of not showing her powers in the open. She was panicking and tried to temper the seal but it seemed she was unable to even touch the seal. She could only transfer the seal to some other person but she could not use it for herself.
Today she tried once again to go back to the mind palace to confront the beast. Looking at the beast Lying in the same position he was previously.
Taking a deep breath she exclaimed.
"Talk to me Kyuubi!"
