NOVEL NEXT Chapter 56: Kira's Changing Morality
[A/N: I know that a lot of you guys are hasty. But I just want to say; Have some patience.]
Inside one of the tents in the camp, Kira, Haruki and Eiko feasted on an entire chicken, pork soup, and Haruki's home made riceballs.
Right after they managed to finish everything, Kira turned to look in the direction of the battlefield. His shadow clones had dispersed, sending him the valuable information along with all of their experiences.
'To think that Sasori would come to attack. Welp, that just means that my plans got easier.' he thought as he had originally planned to send his microbugs to search for him.
He then shifted his attention back to the two people in front of him and said, "Looks like the fight is over, but there are a lot of injured people. I'll have to go to the medical tent now.... haaaa, things are gonna get hectic again."
"Big brother, I want to come too!" Eiko stood up and was about to run out of the tent when Kira grabbed her by the collar.
He looked at her mother, hoping that she'd stop her from going, but she simply gave him a confused expression instead.
It basically said, "Why are you stopping her?"
Seeing this, Kira didn't know how to respond. It was one thing to bring a kid to a place where two countries were fighting and keeping the kid in a safe place, but taking them to a place where impaled people, ones who had been amputated and poisoned people were gathered, was something he couldn't wrap his head around but he also knew that one ones he was dealing with, were the Uchihas..
He acted like he was thinking about it for few seconds as a frown formed on his face, "Isn't it a bad idea to take a child to a place where death is a common occurrence?"
"That's fine, she's an Uchiha and she's going to be a shinobi sooner or later. Why not show her the dark side of this world when a chance presents itself? It's fine, you can focus on your job. I'll keep an eye on her." she said and stood up before taking Eiko's hand.
"Shall we go then?"
"Go go go go!" Eiko quipped as she pointed towards the medical tent.
'Even her mother is the same as Raichi... oh well. I'll just continue with my plan if that's what you guys want.' Kira thought as he silently nodded and while they were walking to the medical tent, a man carrying Raichi hurried over to them.
Kira acted surprised when he saw the missing arm, and told the guy to place Raichi on the bed that was inside the tent.
Soon after he crouched and placed his hand on Raichi's chest before using his chakra to search for injuries.
'Extremely thin senbons marks in the throat, but since they were made of chakra, they're gone. A perfect temporary death.' he thought to himself as he was the one who had attacked Raichi.
His heart wasn't beating one bit, so after a few seconds, he stood back up and looked at Haruki expressionlessly. He then glanced at Eiko before shifting his attention back to her mother and sighed.
"Gone."
After saying that, he left the tent silently while a young girls screams escaped outside.
'You guys wanted her to see the horrors of the world right? I've helped you awaken her sharingan.'
He felt like he had done something that he would have never done a few years ago. But he had done it now.
'A darkness is required to join the Anbu, huh? I wonder if breaking an innocent child's emotional state can be considered as darkness.' he thought to himself as he silently walked into the medical tent.
Even though Kira managed to help them out a lot during the fight, there were still a lot of people who got injured and also some who lost their lives. Due to having too many patients, the medical ninjas used the nearby tents as a temporary area to house the injured.
A few seconds after Kira entered the tent, a guy with a familiar face walked up to him. It was the guy whom Kira punched when he first arrived in this tent a week ago.
"We have eighteen who are gravely injured and all of them are lined up to my right, at that corner." he said, pointing to a bed that was on opposite to the large tent's entrance.
Kira nodded and rushed towards that direction as he created 30 clones. Two to three of them went to one bed each and after a few seconds, Kira dispelled them to gain the information they had deduced.
Armed with the information regarding the injuries, he made clones once again, but this time there were 26 of them. Some patients got 4, some got three and some got 2 clones assigned to them while the rest only received one.
While his shadow clones got to work, Kira took out the scrolls that were attached to his waist, and sent out a mental message to his bugs.
'90% of you guys, come back to me. I'll put you back into the scrolls. I don't have enough chakra regeneration to keep you guys out indefinitely.'
He then walked out of the tent and placed the scrolls onto the ground before rolling them open. After making a few hand signs, he smacked the scrolls' surfaces before sitting silently as he waited for his bugs to get into the scroll.
These scrolls were only partially summoning scrolls. Most of the seals on the scrolls indicated that it was a sealing jutsu.
They were pretty complicated to make, so Kira simply got them from Kakeru instead. As for how the scrolls worked; in simple words, they basically reverse summoned the bugs to a specific location and sealed them so that they wouldn't have to consume chakra to stay alive.
And whenever Kira wanted their assistance in battle, he could just summon them and the seal would be lifted.
[A/N: Another note. I plan on hosting a small Quiz+Meme event in my discord server. Those that are interested can join and vote in the #announcement channel. Currently, there's 5 people who voted but most of the people in my server are offline *sobs* So yeah, if you're interested, feel free to join and vote. Once we get enough votes, we'll host the event.
As for prices for the winners... it'll either be an OC of your creation or a plot change that you wish to have. Though I have to say that this isn't guaranteed as some people might just ask for something outrageous.]
