Naruto: Systematic Shinobi

Chapter 199: Mist Shadow Booty - 6

"Already getting to that then are we?" Mei hummed, "So there is no way your village will part with the Kiba blades then? And return them to us?"

"More specifically, I won't," Daiki smirked, "Technically, they were never really yours to begin with. They belonged to the Uzumaki, and as the Leaf is the only surviving ally of the Uzumaki, they rightfully belong to us. Not to mention we actually have surviving Uzumaki in our village."

Well just the one, but still.

"Oh, so you kept them for yourself after defeating Raiga," her single visible eyebrow rose in surprise at his admittance, "Bold of you to admit that straight to me, the Mizukage and refuse to return the blades while using such an excuse. We both know that truly doesn't hold up. They were claimed from defeated foes."

"Exactly," Daiki pointed out, "I just did the same thing you guys did, so you can't really complain."

Mei snorted, "True I will admit as such," she nodded, "It is odd though that the Leaf would bring up an alliance, and then bring this sort of thing up like this. Charming as I've found you so far Daiki-kun, this so far has been quite insulting to we of the Mist."

"The alliance is more to stop you guys from kicking up a fuss and making things harder for us," Daiki bluntly told her, "And it isn't just the swords. Let me ask you, do you know what Raiga was up to when I came across him?"

"I can't say I do I'm afraid, we had no idea where he was," Mei replied, eyeing him curiously, "If we did we'd have long sent hunter ninja after him to take him out and retrieve the kiba blades. How does it pertain to this situation I have to ask?"

"Well before that," Daiki shrugged, "Lemme say this. It's not like you guys don't have something of ours either. How about this. I'll give you the kiba blades back, but I'm plucking that Byakugan in Ao's head in return and taking it back with me."

Mei's single eye widened, "How do you know of that?" she questioned, "Ao wears seals specifically that block the Byakugan from seeing inside it."

Yes he had noticed that. Those odd paper he wore from his ears like earrings were in fact seals. Seals that were actually a lot like the seals within the Hokage mountain, though of lesser make by far.

"That's a secret," Daiki winked, "So, wanna trade?"

God he hoped she didn't. While he knew how to make more, it would take a fuck load of time to do it. Time he didn't want to bother with right now. Time that was really better suited to other things.

…Though he supposed adding a Byakugan wouldn't be too bad alongside Shisui's sharingan. But he could get an actual set of Byakugan from any Hyuuga corpse as long as he had enough stored chakra.

Mei sighed, "Alright, understood," she nodded begrudgingly, "Putting that aside, why did you feel the need to bring up what Raiga was doing when you encountered him."

In reply, Daiki touched his hand to the turtle faced pauldron on his shoulder, "It has to do with this little thing here, it's a special pauldron that was made by the Village of Artisans," he said, "It's a very special little piece of armour. Specifically, it was made with the ability absorb an absurd amount of chakra. It can drain a massive amount rapidly, even out of a bijuu."

She examined it for a moment before meeting his eyes, "Impressive, but what does that have to do with Raiga?" she questioned.

He'd switched its visage up for this meeting for a bit, so it honestly just looked like a normal roaring turtle head.

"He'd teamed up with the nobles of the Village of Artisans who had a grudge against the Leaf," Daiki revealed his most bullshit of lies that had actually gotten him into the position he was now, "He needed their help, because he found the Sanbi."

Mei's eyes widened, "The Sanbi has already reformed? And that far away?" she shot up to her feet.

"Yes," Daiki revealed bluntly, "See, they had this big plan together. They were going to subdue the Sanbi with Raiga's strength and the tools made by the nobles of the village of artisans. They planned on subduing the Sanbi to do their bidding, and use its chakra to somehow resurrect their old leader Seimei who was killed decades ago by the Nidaime Hokage."

"I'm sorry?" Mei gained an almost befuddled look, "How would they even be able to do such a thing? How would the Sanbi's chakra allow that?"

"Nah they had a way of doing it already themselves, what they lacked was the sheer chakra needed to do it," Daiki shrugged, "Either way that isn't important. What is important is that they and Raiga after resurrecting that guy, were planning on unleashing the Sanbi on the Leaf. And I just so happened to come across them while they were in the process of doing that while on a mission to the village of artisans."

"…That fool…" Mei sighed rubbing her temple, "I'm assuming then Daiki-kun that you put a stop to it all?"

Refuge in audacity baby!

"Yes, but probably not in the way you're thinking," Daiki replied, "See the guys Raiga teamed up with. There were four of them, and each of them were just as strong as Raiga. Now I like myself a whole lot, and I'm amazingly strong, but I wasn't strong enough then to beat five shinobi on that level alone."

They were definitely not as strong as Raiga. She didn't need to know that though.

"Which brings us back to the question then, just how did you manage to kill Raiga then and claim the Kiba Blades?" Mei wondered.

"Well, I'm actually pretty talented with seals, the old man says I might even be more talented than the Yondaime," the smirk returned to Daiki's face, "When they were subduing the Sanbi and were exhausting themselves in the process, I jumped in, sealed the Sanbi in myself and then used its power to kill them all."
