Chapter 14 ( Stop trying to sell me child brides)

Being led into a room filled with squabbling people hovering over a dead body was not what I expected from my day today. Although I should have expected some squabbling as my resurrection building was almost up for bat. 

The body everyone was squabbling over was someone that I did recognize. It was one of the seven Swordsmen of the Mist I had completely forgotten about them because they played a rather minor role. 

Now that I was greeted with the sight of their dead body I was able to connect the name that I was given. Ameyuri Ringo Was the greatest lightning user that the mist has ever created from what I can recall. 

That title might sound pretty impressive but that was like calling Sasuke the greatest Sharigan user in Kohona. It was only true because he was quite literally the only one capable of using the Sharingan to its full capacity. Sure the kid had the capabilities of being the greatest but as he is now he couldn't even open his Sharingan. 

Still, I could see why she was chosen for Resurrection as opposed to anyone else. She may not be the greatest ninja in the world but in the Hidden Mist she certainly counted as a big hitter. 

The squabbling continued and I got a good look at the people in the room. The fist person to catch my eye was a rather large man with long black hair that was tied up into two buns. He had somesort of eye shadow around his eyes and a frankly disturbing loon on his face.

He was glaring at everyone else in the room with everything he had but he wore a disturbing smile on his face. I had a hard time placing him for a moment but the two dots he had for eyebrows filled me in.

I was looking at a member of the Kaguya clan. It only took so long to recognize him because the most iconic member of their family had white hair.

“This is a waste of time we all know that she would never join our side. It would be better to use this gift on someone else, Kotoshi-Kun died just yesterday we can bring another strong combatant back.” The Kaguya member let out being far more reasonable than I thought he would.

I suppose I shouldn't think every single member of the Kaguya clan was unreasonable. Then again the surrounding people let out scoffs and glares at the man over his words.

“Why would we do that? We all know he would just kill himself with another fool hearty raid. That boy has a death wish and you know it.” A gruff man shot out as he glared at the Kaguya member who only returned the hostility with a mocking smile.

That guy was certainly large and in charge but when I looked at him I had to take a double take. For a moment I thought I was looking at the Tailless Beast himself. Pale blue scaly skin coupled with dark blue spiky hair. The guy might as well be cosplaying as Kisame with how close he looked to him. 

I had thought that the tail is Beast was just a one-off sort of individual. Judging from the look of this current guy I was wrong in that case. Kisame apparently came from a clan. I suppose I should have seen that coming as is unique look was rather odd. 

“ Kotoshi-kun is just a little bloodthirsty it's understandable. We need more men like him and less like you if we are planning on winning this war. “The Kaguya memeber shot out with a slimy short of smile on his face.

“Must we go over this again Tetusuya-san? The Lady of Thunder blows anyone else out of the water with her abilities. We have hundreds of Kotoshi’s there is only one Ameyuri Ringo.” The final member of the trio spoke out her reprimand softly. 

I was looking at an older lady with long gray hair and wrinkles on wrinkles. Judging from the look that she shot at Mei and the look that was returned she was probably another member of the Terumi Clan. 

“Oh no, I understand that she's killed enough of us already that her skill is not in question. I was just bringing attention to the fact that she would never willingly join us.” Tetsuya spoke out with a scoff on his face the creepy smile finally sliding off.

“Well, we don’t actually know that. We all know that she has been dying from this disease for a long time. She might not have wanted to rock the boat as she could not stick around to protect her family from Yagura.” Mei let out softly drawing attention to herself. All three eyes locked onto her for a moment before sliding onto me.

“So this is the boy that can produce miracles?” The giant shark man questioned with an intrigued look on his face. He was still rather intimidating from his stature but the vibe I was getting off of him was gruff as opposed to malicious. 

“Yes, quite an interesting bloodline. Tell me boy are you looking for love? I can certainly help you out with that.” Tetsuya shot out quickly with a slick expression on his face. I looked at him with a rather strange look that screamed I needed answers.

“Leave the boy alone he's too young for such talks.” The Terumi member shot out quickly while smiling at me with a grandmotherly look. She did shoot a fierce glare at the Kaguya member when she thought I wasn’t looking. 

The Kaguya member returned the look with everything he had but it was less intimating. He had a resting villainous face while the old lady had a more soft look most of the time. It came off as something completely out of character. 

Mei looked rather uncomfortable and she had a look of dread on her face. Seeing that I finally figured out the context here. I really should have seen this coming considering what I told them.

I was a lone member of a Bloodline Clan that had a frankly ridiculous ability. They wanted that ability to be tied into their own families. 

The Kaguya member was rather blatant about it and I was sure he would send countless woman after me as I grew. The Terumi woman on the other hand was a lot more subtle.

She was masquerading her intentions by being on my side. Delaying talks about marriage or anything else in support of my own free decisions. The problem with that was that everyone and their mother knew that I only had one close friend in this compound. It was Mika and she just so happened to be a member of the Terumi Clan. 

Maybe my own reputation was not at fault for my being isolated. The Terumi Clan might be playing tricks behind my back to ensure I only had ties to them. 

I would be upset about the rather blatant manipulation but I was okay with this current state of affairs. Although her binding Mika off all people had me feeling sick. Mika was a nice girl but she was quite literally a small girl.

Her childish excitement and the babbling that came off of her made that rather clear. I would rather they sold Mei to me as she was certainly a smoke show.

I suppose once such talks came to place I could make my stance rather clear. It was not like a fetish for older women would draw any sort of scrutiny.

They might even be happy with that turn of events as they could sell more powerful women to me. Increasing the chances of my own offspring being powerful.

“So this is the one you want to bring back? From what you guys are saying she is not exactly friendly do you mind if I use those chains to bind her so she does not do anything extreme?” I questioned everyone in the room.

The three elders looked at each other but it was clear that they did not know what I was talking about. Mei on the other hand had a contemplative look on her face.

“That should work, can you make more than two? If I was not injured I could have broken out of them and Ringo-san is in a completely different league.” Mei spoke out sheepishly but I could tell she was feeling a little bitter about her weakness.

I gave her a flat look. She may not have reached her full potential yet but she was certainly leagues above most people. The fact that she was putting down her own strength here either meant Ringo was just that valuable or Mei underestimated herself.

“Yeah, I can bind her with more than just the chains. She will not be able to cause any trouble.” I let out firmly. The three elders were looking at each other conveying some sort of message but they appeared to leave everything to Mei for now.

“Good. Ringo can be….a bit much but that applies to most of the Seven. She can at least be reasoned with.” Mei spoke out but muttered the last bit. I raised an eyebrow but decided against saying anything else.

I started binding her in runic chains and using a variety of spells and curses to make sure she did not do anything. Nothing detrimental to her health as curses could kill if the target was weakened enough.

The three elder had an interested look on their face as they looked over what I was doing. They saw that the runic chains were made of a flowing script and they exchanged glances at that.

“This is rather interesting Ito-Kun. It is almost like the Uzumaki Sealing Chains.” The old lady spoke out with that greed back into her eyes. She may be capable of hiding most of her intentions but I pulled something crazy off again.

The Uzumaki clan was feared for a reason. Those fuckers were crazy and it took three Ninja Villages to take down one clan. So sealing was both respected and feared by everyone.

So showing off a skill that might have similar potential was probably not the best idea. If they ever found out that Runes could be even crazier than seals they might tie me to a table and have milfs drain me. Not something I feared but it was probably best to avoid.

I was not that worried about showing too much here.

If they were going to capture me and keep me for my seed I could run no problem. They did not have the capability of sealing my Mana after all. Showing any sort of trust in them would only have their guard lowered.

“It’s not quite at the level of the Uzumaki Chains but it is easier to use in comparison to them. Anyone of my bloodline could use them instead of just the purest.” I explained lightly and I was not even lying…that much.

Runes could be used by anyone from my bloodline because they would have Mana. Meaning I could teach them my spells.

“That is amazing Ito-kun. I have a granddaughter near your age you should meet her after all of this.” The Kaguya let out with that same creepy smile on his face.

I knew the guy was trying to be friendly and not threatening but his fucking face was too much. I could not imagine what his grandaughter would look like.

Fucking Kagyua’s and their insane mentality.

The Sharkman looked crushed that he could not offer something similar to what the other two were doing. He seemed to accept that when it came down to honey traps members of his clan just did not qualify.

If only the Kaguya could figure out the same.

“Ito-kun has already promised to help Mika-chan with her training after this.” The old lady cut in while giving the Kaguya a smug look. Bolts of lightning seemed to clash as they glared at each other.

I did not recall making any such promise but Mika would probably drag me over for training soon. The girl had a one track mind and she was apparently being encouraged to approach me.

“Alright I’m down, we can get started on bringing her back. Are you sure she is the one you want?” I questioned as I looked over at everyone breaking the tension in the room.

Everyone nodded even if the Kaguya member had a bitter look on his face.
