Chapter 14.05- One Thousand Hands
Added 2024-08-07 19:13:33 +0000 UTCShe could not think of a time that she had ever seen her Sensei so furious. He was a Jounin and was marvellous at hiding his emotions, but there were small tells that he let loose. The silence, the stiffness in his posture, the way he’d sharply signed at them to return to the village instead of investigating the Chunin’s dissapearance like they’d originally planned but she figured the presence of an IWa kill squad was sign enough of that, but most damning of all was the fact that since he had Shorirama had left the forest together, he had not looked in the genin’s direction even once. It was impressive, considering how often Sensei looked over at both her and Toshiro. Almost like he was assessing them and trying to spot something he had missed in them. Interesting, she noted, but did not pursue. Needless pursuit of idle curiousities was far more Shorirama’s cup of tea than hers.
That was what led the idiot to use an experimental seal on a Jinchuriki of all things. It was probably the same thing that had made him add fire release to the tornado that the Iwa shinobi had made. He spent all his time wondering if he could, that he never dedicated a second to ask himself if she should. Another one of the million things that annoyed her about his presence. That, and the fact that he’d suddenly developed a Byakugan out of nowhere. She hoped he was not dumb enough to think that the sunglasses he wore did any work to hide a doujutsu that made itself visible with bulging veins that ran all the way down to his ears. She hoped so. But the fact that he’d started wearing them after getting the doujutsu was not a good sign as to his mental fortitude.
A/N; Very short snippet. Guess who has a date tonight? Not me, I want to watch the season’s finale of HOTD and go to bed- but hopefully one of you does.
