LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 6: Inner demons
A mechanical voice sounded for everyone to hear:
"Portal initialization. Do you have a place in mind?
"Land of Lightening, Genbu island."
"A portal has been opened! Congratulations!"
"I will come back shortly we have a lot to talk about, Prince Vegeta"
He then left the prince alone:
"There he goes calling me Prince Vegeta again…"
Naruto World. Genbu island.
Two men were training as they talked. The first one was the Third Raikage, will be nicknamed as the greatest Raikage ever , he was fighting with his brother B. In front of them were cascades of water descending.
"Raikage-sama is as strong as ever! The other shinobi villages better be prepared!
-B be concentrated, I don't want to lose you too Hachibi.
-Yes, big brother A"
As they were about to resume training a portal suddenly opened in the sky and from it a man descended floating in the sky. He has his share of muscle but had a laean figure, behind him was his tail hanging out like it was the most natural thing in the world. The Raikage seeing this man descending from the sky had all kind of danger alarms ringing in his head.
'This man looks dangerous'
As he descended on the back of Genbu. The turtle became agitated as if it witnessed the most horrible thing in the world. It's cries became greater and greater as if the devil was on its back. Ignoring the wails of Genbu, his gaze instantly landed on the two ninjas:
"Well, well, that's highly inconvenient. That's my fault really, I thought this island would be deserted at this time. Third Raikage, Hachibi. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Seeing the reaction of Genbu. A reaction it didn't have even in front of actual Tailed Beasts, he immediately wore his signature Raiton Chakra Robe:
"Who are you? What are you here for?
Seeing his reaction, Marek laughed a little:
-Well, why do people come here? To train of course! As if who I am? You don't need to know it…Not for now. I actually need to use The falls of the truth behind you there and the temple inside too. I will be gone as quick as I came!
B became an angry as he saw the way he addressed his aniki :
"Who are you to talk to the Raikage so brazenly? You must be from…
-BEE!!!
-Aniki…
-Good call, Raikage. If I was really from any village, will all the other villages even exist? So? What do you say?
A breathed deeply as he boldly said:
-What if I refuse.
Suddenly aura began to permeate all of Marek body:
-You just became Raikage, you are so full of ambitions. It would be a shame if you were to die here, wouldn't it ?
As he released some of his aura, Genbu became more, more restless. In his impatience Marek cried:
"DAMN TURTLE, DO YOU WANNA DIE?!!"
The next instant, all its wailing stopped.
-Well, if you excuse me.
"I am unconvinced" The Raikage spoke as he charged with his mightiest appear:
"Hell stab: One finger nukite technique"
His whole body was brimming with chakra as he executed his technique. As he charged, he saw the man patiently waiting for his attack to land. When it did…B cried as if he saw the most horrible thing in the world:
"DEAR LORD!"
It didn't even scratch his clothes:
"Are you done now?" said Marek as he pinched his index and his thumb in front of his forehead.
"Now be gone from sight."
The next moment, the Raikage was sent flying through the island shattering everything in his way. Mountains were destroyed, forests were parted. The mighty Raikage was passed out cold on the other side of the island.
"I spared your Raikage because I was a bit unreasonable but I won't let it fly next time. You hear me, Hachibi?"
Frightened to his core, he simply nodded. He sighed:
"Finally, some calm."
He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes in meditation. When he reopened them. He saw three people standing in front him.
"I knew it would be you.
-Who else could it but us."
Sitting side by side. The three of them was what made Marek who is now:
Malé, Tarek and the third was resembling Marek in every way except that his eyes were pupilless like Broly's.
"So I do have problems, after all, huh?"
Spoke Marek in his doubled voice. It was his berserk clone who spoke first:
"Do you know why you are having an even harder time staying sane than Broly? Its because you have more reasons to be mad about than him.
-Maybe…But I always thought that it was as it should be by rights. If a Crown Prince is useless, its normal to be hated by the people. After all, as much as the Emperor uses its people, the people also uses the Emperor.
-Even when they saw how hard I worked! THEY ONLY CARED ABOUT THEMSELVES! EVEN THAT LINA! SHE TOUGHT I DIDN'T KNOW! WHY DID YOU TELL HER THAT I FORGAVE HER!
Malé started breaking down as all the pent-up frustration in his heart came out.
Marek looked at his clone, then looked at Tarek who was staring daggers at him.
When he saw his clear eyes, he snickered:
"The problem never lied with you to begin with, did it?
-You already know the answer to this question.
-Yet you are still mad at me.
-You made an enormous lack of judgement in your training. You heavily relied on me, and you took him for granted. You were only worried about how far your talents could take you and used all your will to make it happen. You never even realized that your great will was restrained to begin with. Even if I had regrets, that wouldn't make you controlling this power so difficult. BUT HIM? What a shame…This is disappointing. YOU BETTER FIX THIS!!
As he heard scolding, sweats starting dropping from his forehead. Every word he said was true. He neglected his own will, he halted his own feelings, and only leaned to his good ones. His clone snickered:
-So, How are you going to solve it, your majesty?
Malé kept talking as of oblivious to the others:
"THEY LOOKED DOWN ON ME AND EXPECTED THIS EMPIRE TO BE ON DOWNFALL WITH ME ON IT. AND NOW WITH THE PLANS YOU HAVE IN MIND…THEY ARE GOING TO BE LIVING OFF MY FEATS! THIS GREAT EMPIRE I AM ABOUT TO BUILD…WHY?!WHY ?! THEY DIDN'T EVEN STAND UP THE LAST I TOLD THEM TOO…AND THAT FATHER THAT WANTED TO SACRIFICE HIS OWN SON!! THOSE WORTHLESS MINISTERS! YOU TOLD THEM TO HOLD THE FORT LIKE THEY WERE SOME WAR HEROES!
As he heard his rants, himself was surprised at all the feelings he kept bottled up
-Everything that I did was necessary, for the survival of the Empire.
-EMPIRE?! You could have gone and left this place! You could have created a new empire anywhere! This place doesn't deserve anything from me!! It didn't give me anything!
-It gave us Shahrazad and Kosem.
As he said that, Malé stopped straight up:
-As I am stupid for ignoring you. You are also blinded by hatred and rage. There is people we care about in this empire and those people love this land.
The person who responded to him this time was the silent clone:
-So what are you saying? Are you going to live your life for the benefits of others, like Saber or Star Constellation?
-No. If I lived like that, I would have lost myself.
-Give me a satisfying answer and all of this will be over.
He lightly sighed as he looked at Malé:
-I made a mistake. We both made a mistake. Malé and Me. As much as we want to make sense of every misfortune we have suffered in the past. And even if there were acceptable explanations to every one of them. Misfortune is still misfortune and Misery is still misery. Our hatred, jealousy and anger are valid feelings for us to have.
-So?
-Even so, I will still hold on to this country. For even if we resent it, even if we are angry at it, we harbor deep affection for it. For its only from people who matter to us, that actions hurt. Wouldn't it hurt more if we didn't have people, to resent, to be angry about? I believe in us, for we are GREAT enough to turn these emotions in our favor. For there is worth even in our weakness. What do you think?
The three of them, only smiled before disappearing.
-Acting like all knowing bastards until the end. How befitting of me, should I say?
When he got out of his meditation, he felt a sense of peace he never ever achieved even human form.
-I am only at 60 percent now, but I feel that I would still be able to control myself even at 100.
He stood up at looked at the people surrounding him.
'ANBU, huh…Well, that was to be expected. I bet he is here observing everything too. But he will be good, after how a wooped his ass, he won't be doing that mistake again'
He sighed before looking at the temple:
'That one is going to be thought.'
Even before his problem, that trip was always one of Marek's goals because of the temple of the tailed beast. This was where one could enter their inner self and gain the power of their inner monsters. He absolutely needed to pass by this to master 'The wrath state'.
He followed all the formalities and entered the first room. There he mediated and immediately accessed his inner self. He was there, Malé and Tarek were there too:
-Well, gentleman…
-Lets go!!!"
They advanced in sync until they faced HIM:
"Oozaru
To think we have this thing inside of us.
-Well, you wanted to be a Saiyan the most, so…
-I know !"
The fight began, the Oozaru was powerful throwing it mighty limbs around, his power was even close to super-saiyan. But he was still no match to the three of them. After being beaten around again and again, he began to submit. Until he was completely under control the three of them. After nearly 2 hours of fighting. The oozaru and his powers were now completely his!!
'Its easier than tailed beast because the power balance is inversed and he is kind of stupid too.'
When Marek got out of his meditation, he had a crafty smile on his face:
'I will not use it now! I will wait till I get 100 percent of my power and then show the power the transformation that could destroy the Super Sayan God himself!'
As he got out of the temple, under eyes of all the ANBU of Kumo, he started stretching out:
"Well, well….That was fun! Hey gloomy people hiding in the dark! Tell A-chan to get prepared for battle, because this one will NOT hold on for long, right B-chan?"
He flew up as his laughter grew thinner and thinner. He stopped in front of the portal as he pondered
'That was quicker than I thought…'
'When I come back I will be back to training non-stop.'
He smiled mischievously as he thought
'Lets have some innocent fun!'
