Chapter 102: Perfect Vacation (7)
Team Sakumo quickly began breaking down the sturdy walls this time around to move toward the path the beast took to reach them and soon came across a gaping wound of a hole within the floor and jumped into it after an initial inspection. Their entry point was a large... cave. It was manmade, of course, and the rugged, uneven surface of the cave was all designed. The first thing Kai did was, again, disable the seal around the cave meant to trigger some sleeping gas and transmit voices over and then the Team began to observe their surroundings.
Instead of an isolated cave, the section branched out through many tunnels.
"It feels like we're hunting for some lost treasure," Minato remarked with a wry smirk as Sakumo was quick to add it to the list of real possibilities, "Could be just that. Maybe Kumogakure's discovered something of great material importance here. At this moment, we can't afford to discredit any theory."
"Then I say they are searching for an even stronger beast!" Tsume grinned, "Stronger than the dog before."
Minato and Tsume turned to Kai who shrugged, "I just think they are trying to research something in a distasteful, or rather, the most efficient method known to them outside of their own land."
"Well, that was no fun" Tsume huffed.
"Of course," Kai cut her off, or rather, continued before he was rudely cut off by Tsume, "They are using the blood from the corpses to summon a massive demonic monster through that strange circle!"
"And that's even more disturbing," Sakumo rubbed his temples, if the hair on his sides was already grey, he wouldn't know given the color of his hair.
The team picked a direction based on Sakumo's choice which wasn't really that planned out. They were here to explore the location and luckily, the Kumo nin were letting them. Of course, they didn't need a third party to reveal how shady this sounded but... it was one of the better scenarios currently.
As they walked, Kai kept alert to pick on any sentient being's emotions he could. He had long tweaked it to use it with Senjutsu Chakra, too, but he needed to be in Sage Transformation to be a Sage Empath. So, at the moment, individuals with Senjutsu Chakra who have the instinctual ability to emulate nature and evade the senses of regular chakra sensors were still a threat to him.
The group marked paths and continued to go on for seven minutes until Kai sighed, "My clone's done in."
"Oh? Was it that beast alone?" Sakumo questioned.
"No, just that my clone blew up all the chakra it had to test the beast. It's interesting."
"What is?" Minato inquired. Updated from
"That the beast's entire body has grown heads. It's like an experiment gone wrong or... something else. But no natural beast would exist with a limitation as freaky as having so many heads that it covers the entire body and is unable for it to move, much less fill its mouth with something to eat."
Kai's words made the trio suck in a breath of cold air. If nothing else, it was quite freaky for such a chakra beast to exist.
They didn't have to travel for too long when Kai sensed a few shinobi on their tracks. It was clear that constantly disabling surveillance seals had finally made the upper level unrestful and even if they weren't picking their speed, the group of scouts behind them kept a large distance.
Notifying the others about it to keep his track record as stellar as ever, they ventured deeper into this primitive-like tunnel system until Kai sensed another individual and steered the group towards it. While this stranger didn't have too large of a chakra capacity, it wasn't far off from Sakumo but what attracted Kai was the utter euphoria he sensed from the individual...
It was a state Mikoto only shared when she climaxed the sixth and ninth time.
But this stranger was in a constant state of such euphoria. Surely... this person wasn't on a streak of wanking off, right?
Their advance was cut short when a low, raspy groan slipped into the tunnel attached to yet another cave not far away, "Aaah~ I didn't have to move after all. Did you get past my stupid neighbor? Is the world's most rude playmate dead?"
Coming to a stop, Sakumo signaled the team with his hand and made Kai cover their backs as Sakumo bore the responsibility of going to the front.
The cave, again, was barely lit. But Team Sakumo, more specifically, Tsume and Minato had adapted to the low visibility and light somewhat.
The blade was plainly stabbed into the man's head and only then did Sakumo breathe out a sigh of relief.
Pulling back the blade with blood pouring through the thin stab wound of his saber, the man slowly fell back and Sakumo diverted his attention.
"Keep a lookout. If this tunnel system is just a place to keep that beast then"
While Tsume, Kuromaru, and Minato were hearing Sakumo's order, the first to show a change was Kuromaru who suddenly charged at Sakumo but the dog's speed was similar to his partner Tsume. Strangely, Minato, with an equal look of shock ran and was quicker than the duo but still too slow compared to Sakumo and...
The strange follower of Jashin whose head still bleeding was upon Sakumo the moment he turned around with the blade of his sickle almost upon the White Fang.
Turning around, his saber even quicker than his body's reaction, sliced the man in half but Sakumo finally 'looked' at his eyes...
He was still alive.
His grin grew wider. As the tip of the scythe that once aimed for his chest was now steered to his shoulder and reached Sakumo, his gaze grew visibly frantic at a speed only visible to a few.
*Fwip*
A figure... blinked in front of Sakumo and the blade. The youth's grin was even more devilish than the scythe-wielding maniac as he held the handle of the scythe with a grip too mighty and thus, held the 'Freak,' midair, too, whole legs were still on the ground but after the initial loss of blood, the man's upper body strangely contained the blood without even healing the insides of his body that still twitched.
