Chapter 17: Conspiracy in Akatsuki’s ranks part 6
Sasuke led the way toward the Mist Village, a long way off from the Snow Village. He, Neji and Kiba ended up travailing through out the whole night.
“Who would have guessed so much would happen.” Kiba sighed, springing through the rolling hills of short grass and periodic flowers that separated them from their destination.
“I can’t help but wonder how much of Konoha survived the storm…” Neji said thoughtfully, “The only reason we made it out alive is because Naruto told us where to go. If we’d gotten to that same spot 30 seconds later we’d be dead by now. How many other people where in that same situation?…”
“There’s noting left of Konoha.” Sasuke said solemnly. “I heard back in the Snow Village.”
There was a small silence between them… “So what are we gonna do? We don’t have a home to go back too after we’re done.” Kiba said.
“We’ll figure that out after we rescue Konohamaru.” Sasuke said.

Konohamaru stirred, awaking surrounded by warmth. With a small yawn he opened is his eyes and found that he was in Kisame’s arms “Kisame? Where are we?”
“Half way to the Mist village.” He said, stopping on the barely visible dirt path on top of a hill. He lowered Konohamaru and sat down figuring it was a good time to take a break after 6 straight hours of continuous travel.
“Whoa, look at this place.” Konohamaru said looking around in awe. The hill looked as if it was the top of a mountain and they were on the edge, surrounded by deep valleys of other hills with one winding river running through all of them. An interesting landscape that easily impressed, especially at sunrise that Konohamaru was disappointed he missed.
Kisame let his hands rest behind his head and laid back, starring aimlessly at the passing clouds then looking down at Konohamaru who was looking down at the valley with child like curiosity. The boy started to walk down the hill, turning to the side and letting himself slide down the slope.
Konohamaru looked back and watched his scarf flutter in the wind behind him, he felt the rush of cool air over his body as he gained speed. “Whoa!” A wobbling Konohamaru started to lose his balance and fell down the hill, his body rolling head over heels 30 feet down the slope to the bottom and stopping just short of the river.
“Oww.” Konohamaru rubbed his head a little and stood up, looking down at the running water.
“Your really clumsy brat.”
Konohamaru flinched from the surprise, looking up to see Kisame laying lazily on the other side of the stream with his hands behind his head and his eyes on Konohamaru. “I’m not a brat.” Konohamaru said discardingly.
“You need some serous balance, I don’t see how you made it this far with out breaking something…oh yeah.” Kisame remembered the bandages around Konohamaru’s head, he’d gotten so use to seeing it that he’d stop thinking about it entirely.
Konohamaru jumped over the spring and stood over Kisame, “Why don’t you give me some more training then?” He asked with a sheepish grin.
Kisame closed his eyes, “No way, I’m tired.”
“Please! Please boss!” Konohamaru pleaded.
Kisame opened one eye and shifted a little, being called boss did sound good… “Alright then, I’ll train you on balance.” Kisame closed his eyes again “You remember how to build you Chakra from last night don’t you?”
“I think so.” Konohamaru said unsurely.
“Ok, do it.”
Konohamaru clinched his eyes shut, trying to hone in on the emotion that used the point of his brain that had been injured. “I…I can’t do it.” Konohamaru sighed.
Kisame opened his eyes again, “What do you mean you can’t do it, we spent an hour on it last night.”
“I’m trying but I can’t do it.” Konohamaru said.
“Then it looks like I’ll have to use that Genjutsu again.” Kisame said, lifting his hands and about to do the seals
“No, wait! Don’t…” Konohamaru said, a genuine tone of fear in his voice.
“Look, I know your afraid. Can’t you see that’s the whole point.” Kisame said annoyedly, finishing the hand seals while Konohamaru still protested. A haze came over the boy, seeing his vision distort and fade while his body fell backwards on to the ground.
With unfocused, lifeless eyes, Konohamaru squirmed letting out weakened cries of struggling. “Aahhh! Let me out of this place!” he was so frantic and loud with desperation that he broke through the jutsu on his own. Of course Kisame hadn’t used much Chakra to making it strong.
“I…I can’t do this.” Konohamaru said, “My head hurts.”
Kisame snorted in annoyance, “Stop being a little baby.” His tone was so cold and fierce that it surprised Konohamaru. “I told you my training would be hard and I really don’t care if your scared. Life is pain, get use to it.” There was a forlorn hint to his coldness this time, as if he was thinking about something as he said it. “Now, go through the Jutsu, memorize the trigger, got it?”
With down cast eyes Konohamaru nodded, feeling the same hazy feeling as Kisame did the Genjutsu on him. This time when he fell to the ground he looked as if he was visibly trying not to squirm as much as previous times. But in the end he failed and let out a fearful scream.
His eyes tightly clinched Konohamaru shouted loudly, setting off the trigger and causing a rush of Chakra flowing over his body when all of it finally became too much. That’s when Kisame released the jutsu and allowed Konohamaru to stand, noticing that he immediately lifted his hand to his head and started rubbing.
“Alright, if you got that down then you ready for the next step. Instead of using your Chakra in a jutsu that controls it and places it automatically, you need to use it more manually by controlling it yourself. You have to move it around, try to put as much of it as you can in your torso.” Kisame instructed.
“Ok…” Still holding his head with an estranged expression, Konohamaru pushed the Chakra around in his body with some tensing and clinching, fairly simple.
“Great, now here’s the hard part. You have to rotate it and keep it in place. If your Charka shifts around a lot while it‘s spinning then it will throw you off balance. it’s going to take some practice to get it right The trick is to start small and release a fixed out of your body continuously. But that‘s just a guideline… ” Kisame said, watching Konohamaru began to discharge a small amount, but the amount was so small that it was replaced just as quickly as it was released.
With the flow of incoming Chakra forming from his left side and out going Chakra leaving from his right, more specifically his right hand. The charka started to stir…but it didn’t spin as Konohamaru hoped it would. With a small grunt from the pain in his head, Konohamaru stood to his feet and tried it again.
‘This isn’t going to work…’ He thought impatiently, letting the Chakra flow back through out his whole body again.
“Maybe if I…” With an idea, Konohamaru first pushed the Charka in his left leg towards his torso, then his right leg right after. Next his right arm, then his head, then his left arm in that order.
The way the entered they torso gave it a small spin to start off with, when Konohamaru began releasing it gradually the spin increased substantially.
“Feel the difference? You need to keep a larger amount spinning to have more balance. If your body moves backwards off center like if you fall, the Chakra will push forward and keep you balanced.” Kisame put his hands behind him and pushed himself up. Konohamaru shook his head, not feeling much but Chakra. “Alright, I’ll show you.” Kisame grabbed him by his collar and abruptly tossed him into the air about 15 feet.
Konohamaru involuntarily began flipping at a dizzying rate that he couldn’t keep up with, but some how he landed perfectly on his feet. Usually Konohamaru would have said something after Kisame doing something like that with out warning, but his eyes only drifted closed and he fell back to the ground.
“Kid?” Kisame knelt over him, quickly seeing that he was completely unconscious. ‘How the…’ Kisame’s mind automatically went back to when Konohamaru said his head hurted. ‘Damnit! I forgot about his head…..’
Kisame picked Konohamaru up, feeling the Chakra dieing down in the small body.
! - ! - !
! - ! - !
Konohamaru opened his eyes again, finding he was surrounded by the same warmth he’d awaken to before. “Kisame?” Konohamaru shifted in Kisame’s arms, looking up at the man who was looking back down on him.
“I forgot about your little injury.” Kisame said, sitting Konohamaru down in the valley of another hill then lifting him on to his back.
“It’s my fault, I asked for the training…I should have been better prepared.” Konohamaru said, looking away.
“That’s a good mindset.” Kisame smirked “But I should’ve stopped…”
Konohamaru looked over Kisame’s shoulder at his face curiously “Are you apologizing?”
“….”
“Your saying sorry to me.” Konohamaru ginned.
“Shut up.”
“Heh heh.”
“Whatever.”
“Hey Kisame?”
“Huh?”
“…Uh… How long have I been out?”
Kisame looked back at him, easily able to tell that was not what he originally wanted to ask. But he thought nothing of it “2 hours.”
“Well…Can I continue my training boss?”
Kisame didn’t stop, “I don’t know.”
“Please Boss, I can handle it this time, I’m ready!” Konohamaru said anxiously.
“What the hell.” Kisame shrugged “Do you remember what your trigger is?”
Konohamaru looked toward the skies, clinching his eyes tightly and trying to remember what emotion drew out his Chakra. He knew it but he just couldn‘t use it… “I…can’t do it.”
“You know I’ll have to use that Jutsu on you again.”
Konohamaru swallowed, “Yeah, go ahead.”
Kisame nodded and began doing the hand seals, as soon as he finished the hypnotizing Jutsu he pulled Konohamaru off his back, feeling the boy’s grip loosening and about to fall. Still moving, Kisame pulled him in to his arms, feeling Konohamaru struggle beneath him from what he was seeing.
Once more the image of the dead demon fox and the feel of blood hunted Konohamaru, forcing him to cry out loudly. His mind stayed focused though, trying his best to look past what he was feeling and find what more specifically caused that trigger. But Kisame released the Jutsu before he could figure it out.
“One more time Boss.” Konohamaru said. With a nod Kisame used the Jutsu again, find the hand seals awkward to do while holding.
Again Konohamaru started screaming while his barely focused mind tried to sort through what was causing this…something fueled his emotions…something even worse then that this dead fox was pinning him down…. But once again Kisame released the jutsu.
“One…more time…boss.” Konohamaru’s voice was a little weaker, that quickly changed when Kisame activated the Jutsu again.
After a minute of nothing but absolute anxiety and something else along the same lines that made him want to do nothing more then be out of this once and for all…It hit him…he remembered he was the one that killed the demon. Even though it was out of self defense and he had no other choice it still didn’t change the fact that he’d killed a living thing.
He hated it, it made him feel as if he was one of those demons, like he was the one that killed that woman…
! - ! - !
He froze when he came to a nearby house, a large hole was created in the side giving him an clear view of what was happening inside. A woman in side was completely mauled, the actual wounds were hidden by the remains of her clothing and copious amounts of blood. But he could see that her stomach and torso had been ripped open and nearly hollowed out, the woman could only let out a weakened cry with her last breath. Whatever had done this was still there, he could hear it biting and chewing, but it’s body was concealed by the darkness in the room, except for a pair of downcast glowing red eyes.
! - ! - !
The most horrible sight he’d ever seen, and he’d caused the same thing to happen to this fox… and he was covered in it’s blood, a reminder of it. .
“AAA!!!” Konohamaru screamed louder then before, Chakra washing over him so suddenly and in such a large amount that it knocked Kisame out of the air halfway through his jump.
“What the hell was that!…Are you ok?” Kisame asked, lifting Konohamaru off of him. Konohamaru nodded
“I…figured it out, what the trigger is.” Konohamaru’s voice was soft, barely over a whisper. And he held his head down with a sadden look on his face as if he’d done something and regretted it.
“So what is it?”
“When Konoha was attacked by those demons, the first thing I saw was this lady. And one of the demon had killed her….it was so horrible… she was alive while that thing was eating her stomach. I…killed one of them, and I got it’s blood all over me.” Konohamaru shuttered visibly, so strongly that his whole body spasmed violently.
Kisame watched him for a second, “So killing it and being covered in it’s blood was what triggered the Chakra.”
“Yeah…”
“I guess you can‘t stand killing...”
“…”
“Well then why do you want me to train you?” Kisame asked.
Konohamaru didn’t have to think about it, “At first I only wanted to become a ninja so I could become Hokage and have people finally recognize me…not just a person who’s the Hokage’s grandson.”
“You’re the…I mean you were the Hokage’s grandson?”
“Yeah…But after everything that’s happened, I want to become a good ninja so I can help and protect people around me, not just be some one that’s in the way and is only a burden. Like now, Itachi’s in trouble and I’m just in the way…”
“Hey kid, why do you even want to rescue Itachi, we did kidnap you.”
“…I’m not sure my self…but you guys aren’t all bad and I wanna help.”
“Well……if you already figured out how to open up all that Charka you have, you could be of some help. I’ll give it to you, you’re a fast learner.”
“Heh.”
“Well don’t be expecting to do to much, this is too dangerous for you. You’d be killed.”
“…That’s why I have to become a good ninja…I have to train hard.” Konohamaru pushed himself off the ground and stood to his feet, with a concentrated look and a tense body Konohamaru set off the trigger and he erupted with Chakra…but it was painful to keep going back to that moment to use it…he had to find a better way.
“Not bad.” Kisame said, lifting the boy on to his back and continuing forward. “We’ll be there in a few more hours.”
Konohamaru nodded, working on the balance technique Kisame had taught him. He had to get it to the point where he didn’t have to think about it. This was the first thing he’d master, his next step in becoming a ninja…
