Chapter 103: Perfect Vacation (8)

Chapter 103: Perfect Vacation (8)

Kai did not teleport over to Sakumo. He hadn't got the chance to leave a print of his formula seal on the Elite Jonin but now he did while still holding the weird but interesting freak midair who was scowling a great deal while glaring at Kai. Before the man could actually lay down a carpet of verbal hell, Sakumo's figure flashed without missing a beat, the man's pupils physically dilated as if a beast on a hunt and he decapitated the freak with another swing of his blade.

However, instead of sheathing his blade, Sakumo silently gazed at the head that fell on the ground and uttered a quiet 'ow'... who stared back in return.

It was only Kai's voice that broke Sakumo out of his 'hunting' mode as the youth observed, "While he is... truly a freak, his brain is needed to control the rest of the body. If there are still such basic biological needs, then there is a chance of unraveling this... and the dog upstairs."

Sakumo finally tore his gaze away when the 'head' remarked with scorn, "Only Jashin-sama can make me reveal the truth! But... well done, Jashin-sama will be pleased with my current condition."

"Just shut the fuck up, freak!"

Tsume barked as she was still freaked out and kicked the dude's head into the nearest wall.

"How is he alive..." Minato had also been given the fright of his life as Sakumo narrowed his eyes and calmed his nerves in an instant that had been strained at the thought of a disaster this would have turned into if Kai wasn't present.

"We'll observe that later. Our mission isn't to think about this man. Minato, you'll be sealing the man's body into a scroll, and Tsume, you will keep the head..." Turning to Kai, the man questioned, "How long would it take for you to get things done?"

Knowing well what Sakumo meant, Kai took out the octopus mask with large round eyes and trollish, curved mouth he had been carrying under his clothes and donned the red, prestigious article. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"What are you doing?" Sakumo frowned and Kai's reply only gave way to an exasperated sigh from the White Fang.

"Making name for myself, what else, Sakumo-san. Anyway, give me twenty minutes. Only three would live since that's the sweet spot for confirmation of the fact on who wrecked them."

Adopting a wry grin as if he wasn't at death's door moments ago, something that was a crucial part of the job, Sakumo shook his head, "Lord Third won't like it... but I do owe you one and I suppose... I wouldn't have been able to stop you while dealing with someone who can speak even after getting his head cut off."

Not needing to hear anything else, the burly youth with a funny red octopus mask disappeared from their view.

The evacuation protocol, being a necessity, was well-practiced by the Kumo Shinobi. Strong as they might be, the shinobi were to be expected to work at the discretion of the leader of the facility. As such, when the order of evacuation and elimination of the researchers, no matter how inept they were in their work actually had been brought here, the Kumo Nin had no choice but to follow the commands of the prestigious and most mighty Code Corp of Kumo led by their Raikage A.

The group left and knowing the entire layout of the facility, they began to start the process of elimination and storing of the paltry data these men may have collected.

Once they did just that, removing every trace of life from these men while a small troop branched out to contain the immobile Cerberus into a metal container, the troop of 13 Kumo Shinobi, four of whom were most definitely Jonins, reached the top layer of the facility.

The '14'th member, a masked youth who stood behind all as if completely unnoticeable to everyone around him unless they actually saw him, continued to follow the troop loyally as four of the muscular shinobi steered the metal container on a giant wheeled carrier. Finally, these fourteen reached the exit of the facility and one of them moved out to unseal the entrance of the facility which was not far from the village they were developed under. Kai noticed a large number of explosive seals surrounding the top layer that would most likely destroy the village and cause the facility to be a mess of a crater.

Now... the benevolent Kai could not see the massacre of so many innocents...

"Pss, big brother, do you have a family?" The masked youth finally leaned over and whispered in a tone so soothing and calming that the nearest Kumo nin a rather portly-looking dark-skinned individual with brown-red hair hummed and nodded, "Well, yeah," he looked back only to have his eyes almost pop out his skull as he stared into the wide-eyed red octopus mask with tube-like mouth stretching up in a curve menacingly chuckling, "Not anymore."

A greyish claw separated the man's head and when others turned at the sound of it, the greyish figure whizzed past them and only the four jonin had enough time to react to it since the intruder targetted their lower-ranked shinobi first.

Growls left their throats instantly, their eyes were red as they saw their friends and comrades scattered all around the entrance and the Jonin who was unsealing the entrance had to stop in his tracks. Kai couldn't really blame them. He was equally 'frantic' to save Kushina just a few days ago. But empathy never meant pity. As such, Kai was quick to introduce himself before his favorite type of mask could cause a burden to his fame.

"Call me the Dragon Sage better than the Three Sannin collectively, cause I'm here to serve you all some due Konoha Justice," Kai felt the name was apt given his Sage Transformation and even his mask was 'funny', Kai chose it specifically because... in times of terror and bloodshed, what should be 'funny' ALWAYS turn into something dreadful. Another example Clown's Mask. As expected, the four Kumo nin had no drastic reaction. If anything, they looked even more serious and simply remembered the name.

With what this Dragon Sage had revealed... his physical parameters were off the charts when compared to a regular, newly promoted average Jonin. They would know because out of the four, only one of them was an experienced Jonin but not an elite, and right now, he had discreetly given a signal to not engage with the attacker recklessly.

Meanwhile, in the middle was the large container that held Cerberus whose muffled growls still echoed through the box.

Finally, after looking over Hiruzen's bounty which was settled at over 67 million, a little short of greatness, and titled under Professor, Kai flipped through his own bounty.

A sketch of him wearing an octopus mask and his hands turned into claws was depicted under the moniker Dragon of Konoha.

'Fuck!'

Kai scowled. He wanted Dragon Sage but clearly, one of the hands in Bingo Spot, the Daimyo of Fire Nation, and Hiruzen himself wanted Konoha to be feared simultaneously.

"Woah!" Minato and Tsume gasped at the same time while Kuromaru looked at the book questioningly, not understanding its greatness.

Dragon of Konoha, self-acclaimed Dragon Sage stronger than the Legendary Three Sannin. Notable acts Destruction of a peace-keeping Kumo Facility in Land of Hot Water where he killed more than 90 Shinobi from Kumo, leaving exactly three alive and not out of chance. Ability Elite Jonin. Threat level: High. If encountered, take caution of heightened Tai Jutsu and body modification Jutsu that provides claws sharper than blades.

Current Bounty Dead or Alive.

Kumogakure: 20 Million.

Kai's bad mood disappeared until he got to the end of it and he smirked happily. Claiming to be stronger than the Sannins AND showing his strength actually worked. Not to mention the fact, that Team Sakumo did steal valuable 'research' materials.

"Hmm... do tell me about your bounty... I could have looked over your shoulder if possible but as you can see... I'm headless. And if I may suggest, do eat a little meat. Your waist and hips are all bones. Might I suggest Jashin-sama's perfect cannibalistic diet?"

A calm and peaceful tone made Tsume scowl as she smacked the head tied to her waist while Kuromaru bit on the base of the headless man's... head with practiced ease.

Another thing.

They had a temporary, Jashin-crazed headless addition to the team. Lightweight carriage, really.
