Chapter 28: Rule of Sacrifice
Later At Tazuna's House.
"What was that? not that I'm complaining, it's better than you being hurt, or dying but how did you do it?" Izumi whispered while we sat a way away while the others checked up on Kakashi-Sensei. Her eyes searched mine.
"I'm honestly not sure" My hands traced the rip in my shirt where I had been stabbed. Before touching my skin, it was slightly lighter than my pale skin normally was, thankfully it didn't leave any scars at all. I could see her shaking her head while sighing. "We should inform your grandfather once we return." I nodded. If I had to guess it was Monster Zero's cells more than anything else. I remember Godzilla ripping one of King Ghidorah's head, it regrew it with a similar jell-like slime. So it must be something like that.
Did that mean they were waking up? Would I need a seal to keep them in check? would they be able to talk? so many questions racked my brain while we sat there eating. "I hope you know that Naruto and Kakashi saw you with your eyes activated." sighing as I looked at her while she was eating some toast. "Naruto won't tell anyone so that's something I'm not worried about on that end, But Kakashi is another story that worries me.
"Well sooner or later they all would come to know of it, but why do you seem so worried?" she asked pointing a finger at me as she munched. "I'm honestly scared of Donzo..." It was the truth, that man had done things to the people of the village, and yet no one seemed to notice or even consider it to be him. Truthfully had I not known about him beforehand I would have never even been worried or on Guard against him.
This seemed to cause her to stop as her eyes moved a bit as if she remembered something. "Has something happened between you two?"
She seemed to be thinking something over before looking at me again. " Lord Donzo has reached out many times for me to join him, he had promised to help me get revenge against Itachi. As well as asking if anything had changed with me that day."
So, he was asking if she had awakened her Mangekyo Sharingan."Did something change?" It was best to know as it could help. At some point, I would have to convince her to switch eyes with me. She simply smirked at me. "No, as I told lord Donzo that nothing had changed but my hate." As she finished speaking her face became really serious before turning back to her usual face. So she lied.
Well what type of abilities would she have, it was clear she was keeping it a secret but told me. Maybe she was considering me her sister finally. The sound of the others chatting became more audible as the door was slid open. And they were pushed out by Tazuna's daughter. "hmm what happened," Izumi asked as she eyed them. Naruto and Sakura's face were lightly red.
"These two thoughts it would be a good idea to remove Kakashi's mask," Sasuke said while shaking his head in annoyance. The other two looked embarrassed. "Izumi, Kakashi wants to speak with you as well." And with that, she got up while rubbing my head before heading to the room Kakashi was in and closing the sliding door.
Izumi's point of view...................
"Kakashi sensei you wanted to speak with me" My eyes traced his form as he sat up from his futon. His headband covered he's eye while he stared at me with the other one. with a deep sigh, he motioned me to sit.
" So I'm sure you know why I have called for you...." he eyed me intensely. "And I must ask... if you knew about Ayumi's eyes."
"Yes, Kakashi Sensei I was aware of it." sitting down in front of him.
" Are there any other Uchiha I should be aware of being alive? and judging by the similar traits you two seem to have, you two must be family." It was more of a statement than a question.
"Yes she is my sister, as for the first question..... no I don't believe so sensei." I knew what was going to come.
"You know the rule, Izumi, Family is not allowed to be the leader of their team if their family members are a part of them." Sighing as he rubbed his head. "You're going to have to step down for being her leader." raising his hand to cut me off from speaking. "You have done a good job by taking her this far but the rule is there for a reason Izumi."
Rules those same rules then forced my clan to be almost completely erased. I had tried so hard to convince them not to go through with it, but they didn't listen and because of the Itachi was forced to do what he did. Sighing myself as knew it was probably for the best. Yesterday was already an example of why that rule was in place. I should have gone to Help Kakashi, but I went to Ayumi first. I could have gotten him killed because of my actions.
"I understand." He placed his hand on my head. "Don't worry Izumi I'll make sure she is taken care of properly." His words did help to calm me down a bit but I still couldn't help but worry, I didn't want to lose my last family member. " But there is some bad news, I believe that Zabuza is still alive."
This caused me to look up at him, "Why do you believe that?"
"Do you remember those thin needles that the nin used to kill him?"
"Yes, they would need to be extremely skilled to hit them in a vital organ, it has a low probability of killing" I was forced to think about it. it was almost like a switch was turned on as I understood. "Then they are working together."
"Those are my thoughts as well, And so I have a favor to ask, I want you to help me train. I'm sure you are aware of how rapidly they are growing, So having two teachers might help them grow even faster."
"Okay Ill help, though I do train extremely hard. So I won't stand for them crying."
He seemed happy and nodded his head. "Very well I wouldn't want it any other way."
