Takeshi felt a dark tingle run down the end of his spine for a few seconds, knowing full well that he had just been called out in front of everyone. Anger flared up slightly but he simply fought it down in a heartbeat knowing the situation in front of him was one that he couldn’t simply walk away from. Taking a deep breath in he pondered the words for a few minutes thinking every single opinion that he had open to him. Once Yuuto had finished his speech it seemed like an eternity before he was moving. It was quick hand seals coming together as he let his palms touch the ground.
Bones began to move, earth shift as two corpses climbed up from the ground in a split second both lingered either side of Yuuto, he hadn’t intentionally decided to surround the Sennin with the dead. It appeared that some people had been killed here, this fact alone was something short of fascinating. In a small couple of moves the two zombies moved away and stood beside Takeshi.
“We will do this your way then Yuuto, you may not like what you hear, but the truth is the truth regardless of if you like it or not”
Takeshi allowed his hands coming together knowing full well that he had twenty-seven pairs of eyes focused on him at that specific moment in time. Suddenly the Zombies came to be normal, bar some rotting patches here and there as he knew it. Soon A male and a female appeared in front of Umashi and Yuuto. It was only souls he had and he looked at both for a few seconds. Rin being the first one to speak as always.
“Uchiha, why am I stood in the middle of a park, in front of two idiots, the one there needs to go and get laid or something. He looks like he has issues. The other guy looks like he uses way too much steroids.”
Rin first pointed to Yuuto at that first comment before directing the second to Umashi. Forcing Takeshi to face palm as he knew this was not the reight situation for this.
“He has a fair point? Wait I recognise this one, he was the one that downed you the other night”
“That happened, damn I should have been there”
Takeshi growled slightly in annoyance and in that second both souls were silenced. He looked to both and let a sigh come to his lips as he looked at Yuuto. Soon he let his souls come under the Genjutsu of Yuuto, shuddering at the thought of their secrets and soon he found Rin and Sera fully able to tell the truth when asked the question.
“My name is Rin for short, I was a rouge ninja sent to assassinate an annoying farmer on the outskirts of leaf. During my time, there I was tracked down and engaged in combat by Takeshi Uchiha. I fell during that combat, as punishment for my unique skills with sound my soul was bound to be a servant to him. While originally, I hated him from my very core, everything he stood for. I have begun to see the family man, protective man that he is on occasions. He does keep his words, I have healed more than I have killed recently, he has some redeeming qualities to him, maybe in the future we could be friends. For now, I am just a soul to be used as he wishes.”
Rin words blunt as ever made the truth as it was forced from his lips. He allowed himself to sigh slightly at that few seconds but knew full well that the worse was going to come. He looked over to Sera finding he couldn’t look at Umashi and Yuuto in the following words as she spoke knowing it was the darkest thing he had ever done in his life.
“I was killed while taking a list of all high-ranking leaf ninja from the village, I was also caught by Takeshi and engaged in battle. Rin was forced to take my life and then watch while I was bleeding out as Takeshi took my soul for his collection. After he did so I was summoned to dig my own grave and buried my own body out around leaf gates. Since then we have talked on a few occasions, he has shown me the potential in leaf, and even offered me the challenge of fight Yuuto. As brief as Takeshi lasted. I feel that he is growing, but he has some quality in him and his beliefs are always true, though he never speaks them.”
Takeshi looked at the floor still knowing that it was time for him to stand tall, he raised his eyes to meet with Yuuto, though part of him wanted to resist in that split second. Knowing full well that he was as good as dead if he wasn’t truth full. Finally, Takeshi began answering the questions as he stared at the ANBU Sennin.
“I have two souls that are at full potential, Sera and Rin who you have just met. As they have already spoken about their feelings for me. My turn, Rin is cocky and sure of himself. Flirting more time than fighting, he has saved lives and continues to grow closer to me. I see him as a friend more than a soul each day that goes by and have no resentment for his actions. He used to cause issues for leaf he is now helping leaf, I think it is a fitting end. Sera was a ninja sent here to damage us, I stopped hit and punished her for the mistakes she made. I cannot lie and she was intriguing with her abilities so I took advantage of it and took her as a Soul. I made her dig her own grave and made her suffer for trying to steal information for leaf. Since then she proves herself a fighting and is willing to fight anyone that proves themselves strong, going from hating leaf to enjoying it she is kind at heart and I’m slowly getting to see that each day. I consider both these souls my friends and it has been a hard learning curve. And now I will summon the reaper as you requested”
Takeshi hated doing this part, it caused him pain and after the recent fight he knew that he would have to summon the reaper. As he allowed his hands to come together pain etched across his face, it drained him to summon the creature here. Darkness crept around Takeshi for a few seconds before a huge white figure stood behind the Dark Sage staring at Umashi and Yuuto.
“Takeshi I do not like being disturbed, even if it is for an Oath Breaker and a Hokage”
“I was put in a position I didn’t want to be in old friend, right now they want answers from both of us, and I need you to help me with them. I know I take your time and I apologize, I will answer first then you answer after ok?”
“Let us play their little game, see what they want”
“My goals at the moment are to see the village grown to the strength it was once at, I have no intention of betraying the village or those inside it unless ordered to do so by the Hokage or Anbu Sennin. I have no wish to kill another member of leaf and have no issues with Yuuto or Umashi since coming home. I am here to support the growth of the village and teach a new generation how to become skilled shinobi as I have been doing so all the time I have been back.”
“Ah he wants the truth and you give it so willing, you missed out something though old friend. I am not allowed inside the reapers court anymore, I am exiled for my displeasing the reapers with my actions. I do not care for you Yuuto, your breaking of oaths was something I did once, now I teach Takeshi the potential of a Dark Sage and how to use it. For good or bad is his decision I just help him as he helped me when I wandered the court alone, friendless and abandoned of any hope to find a Shinobi. Your oath breaking is well known though, your actions are clear and you question Takeshi? When you cannot hold your own oaths, that is hypocritical. But I will not let leaf fall if Takeshi wants to protect it, we are one and our will is so. We are here to help”
Blood trailed out of the mouth of Takeshi, though he had recently been in the fight his body wasn’t ready for the reaper that much was clear, he smirked slightly at his old friends words. The four of them now under the judgement of Umashi and Yuuto.
