Chapter 51: Call of Duty (2)
Well, the first time is always special, Kai realized that. But damn... he felt a little annoyed that the news of him getting deployed the next time didn't rouse such a dramatic reaction as the first time...
"Huff... slobbering mess. Then again, when someone is THIS good, women tend to be sloppy," Kai tried to pry the drooling Kushina away who continued to latch onto him with her lips drooling on his shirt as he groaned despite his words. He would pick Kushina trying to form fuinjutsu traps around the mansion over this... anytime.
"Nngh... don't leave..." Kushina snored as Kai deadpanned and snorted before rolling her sideways and now that he was on top of her, it was easy to slip out of her grip without waking her up and...
'Body Replacement Jutsu.'
*Poof*
The slightest poof of smoke wasn't enough to wake her up and he was replaced by the Body Pillow he had near him. Stretching out and feeling completely refreshed, Kai looked at the sleeping Kushina thoughtfully before his grin grew evil and he picked up the bottle of ink and brush on their nightstand. Updated from
'Hehe, gotta show some sealing love to Kushina,' He snickered while his hands moved and he tagged her forehead with a Royal Dumbness. After all... high-level cusses and insults would only come when they age a little higher. Feeling satisfied and his humor tickled, Kai freshened up and equipped himself completely.
His usual chakra metal threaded mesh shirt and a pair of diabolically black underwear instead of tidy whities expected from someone his age. Screw tidy whities. Konoha had a war attire for many to have a chance to blend into the dark, grim environment of Ame so above his mesh shirt, Kai wore a sleeveless black shirt that revealed the sleeves of his mesh shirt but the thing was, being formed by chakra metal, it did not interfere with the two fuin marks hidden on the skin of his shoulders that held two logs at all times for Body Replacement Jutsu. He silently wrapped bandages over his forearms and around half the length of his fingers individually before wearing a similar dark greyishblack trousers before wrapping bandages around his calves and tugging the cloth of the trouser into bandages.
He quickly clipped the light, steel grey flak jacket over his torso and buckled in the standard chokuto sword on his back. He further bandaged his right thigh and strapped a kunai pouch on it. This was done to prevent any accident. At times, fast-paced battles may make the shinobi trip and they may accidentally fall over their own kunai. The roll of bandages would prevent such accidental injuries.
Finally, he wore the steel gauntlets provided for more protection and let Cinnamon slither into it... and then he found Kushina looking at him with a pout. Damn, it took a high level of mental strength to not laugh at the sight of her eyes covered in ink, and the tip of her nose blackened to the likeness of a tanuki as she kept on hugging the pillow and kept her nose silently scrunched.
"Looking good, right?" Kai inquired as he twirled on his heels, making Kushina snort and then roll around to show her back to him, "I'm not talking to you until you return dattebane!"
"Oh, ok," Kai shrugged and hummed a tune while wearing the black toughened sandals before proceeding to walk out of the room as Kushina hissed, "I hate you!" before jumping out of their bed and flickering in front of the door with a fierce expression as her disheveled red locks marred her inked face.
"Well... I am running a bit late, Kushina-chan. So..." Kai's smirk widened as Kushina scoffed and she stepped forward with a casual expression while eyeing him silently.
"What?" Kai inquired as Kushina blinked.
"Uhh..." she looked at Kai whose arms weren't already stretched out, around her, and with his hand on her head gently petting her to assure her, and fell... stunned. Flustered, she growled, "J-just do it dattebane!" Her cheeks flushing redder than her hair as looked away, "I... have gotten better at Fuinjutsu and would have totally trapped you here but that would be wrong..."
"I doubt that," Kai chuckled and her scowl receded when his hands were around her. Her snort blew against his shoulder and she scoffed, "I'm better than you!"
"It's good to dream but wake up to reality, your Royal Dumbness," Kai snickered.
"Royal what?"
"You know," Pulling back, Kai hummed, "Take a bath. You'll understand what I mean. Besides, our deployment is expected to be short this time around, probably three weeks or so... So, sit back and train. I'll expect you to tutor your guardian in the ways of Fuinjutsu once I return."
"Then... you have to return!" Kushina remarked seriously.
"Of course," Kai walked out of the door with a grin and flickered away, not intending to stay and note her reaction once she realizes the masterwork her face had become.

"Well..." Nono blinked and smiled, "I'll be 14 in three years so..." she stepped up and whispered with a somewhat coy look, "I think I can use a good luck charm allocated to teenagers, right, if you end up staying in Ame, let's say, for three years."
She was of the same height as Kai and it wasn't hard for her to lean forward.
Kuromaru barked while Tsunade sighed and shook her head. Mikoto and Tsume's eyes were wide just like their slacked jaws hanging down.
---
"Wipe that foolish smirk off your face!" Tsunade ordered.
"I... can't," Kai giggled. Damn, Nono went above and beyond! His foolish smile only stretched wider as he recalled Nono's lips. Who knew you'd feel so flattered with just a kiss when the Gamer Mind isn't there to fuck with your hormones.
Tsunade scoffed and spoke with an annoyed tone, "At least, be a bit more subtle about it. It was just a kiss."
"Yes, yes..." Kai followed her to the entrance of Konoha where Orochimaru and three more shinobi in the same attire waited for them.
"Huff, on time!" Jiraiya flickered in now, too, as the six of them looked at one another. The three other shinobi were no stranger to Kai. They were from the same platoon as before. Inuzuka Risa and her greyhound Ninken, Razo a civilian chunin, and Utata Kon another civilian chunin.
But their age and years of training put their chakra reserves easily close to 70000 meanwhile Risa was about 93000.
All of them were generally calm about the situation as Orochimaru spoke up with the usual rasp in his voice, "Hmm, most of our previous platoon's shinobi are long deployed and we were allowed to stay in the village even a month after Ame's borders opening up because of our special training requests. Once we reach the main outpost in Ame, you all will be reporting to Jonin Hatake. Tsunade, Jiraiya, and I have our own missions."
Kai and the remaining three chunins nodded as they soon used the body flicker technique to journey towards Ame and arrive near the drenched, drizzling borders in seven hours with appropriate stops in between.
It was as Orochimaru said. They weren't being deployed as a mobile shinobi team to move in Ame and disrupt Iwa's forces while acting as the hired blade for Hanzo. Right now, a large portion of their forces was settled in Ame as they fortified their side of the border and even began to send spies in various villages to demerit Hanzo on Hiruzen's orders because the man was now targeting Konoha's men.
It was likely that Hanzo was paid a lot by Suna to open the borders so that Konoha stop focusing on them and further would have been paid a fortune by Kumo and Iwa to target Konoha.
Of course, while a few spies did just that discredit Hanzo, they also sent a variety of lucrative offers to Hanzo so that they could buy his neutrality at the very least.
But Kai had grown... in more ways than one. Last time, he had thought of plundering corpses to find some techniques but predictably, none of them kept such secrets about their bodies. But during the ANBUsh, Kai had managed to understand a method so simple of stea ehm, learning techniques, especially Taijutsu and grind them to master it that it would make Mikoto's Sharingan embarrassed!... probably.
He wanted missions that placed him in direct conflict with others so that he could exchange pointers... literally!
