~The broken otsutsuki~

chapter 24

Time progressively passed. The seasons changed as which followed accordance to the changing of the years. Exactly 5 had gone by. Concerning kara some new members joined the outers and inners. Kawaki underwent a change himself. The natural human process of growing up.

Hes currently the age of 15 meaning hes been with kara for about 6 years now. Hes gotten taller and looks more older. He learned to use the karma well and his overall strength increased. Surprisingly even his attitude changed. This didn't shock isshiki though. He knew it was bound to happend and his training became even tougher because of it. The same thing also happened code. Hes gotten the same training as kawaki has the past few years and grew as well.

6 years ago when jigen discovered his karma was white soon after he and amado learned that white karma is the reason for him not being a suitable vessel and also the reason he posses greater strength than jigen himself. Instead of isshiki viewing code as threat he decided to place him among the inners and he'd soon learn that was a good idea because code came to worship jigen.

But of course someone with that great of strength couldnt walk around without any restrictions. So limiters were placed on his power preventing him to turn on jigen. Delta, code, amado, victor, kashin koji and even deepa..all of there attitudes stayed the same.

Jigen was currently sitting in his chair facing victor in the blue room the inners have their meeting. His legs were crossed with his arms and hands under his cloak. His eyes lingered on the small old man standing in front of him. "In other words victor..your trying to tell me everything was Deepa's scheme?" He asked. He recently sent both deepa and victor on a mission which failed.

Victor had came back ranting about deepa's betrayal and that it was his fault everything went wrong. "I have proof that he pulled one over us jigen. You can rest assured I retrieved every part of deepa's body that remained. Our secret has not been revealed to those shinobi" he said. "Still. I find it strange that you weren't aware of what was going on right under your nose" jigen replied.

One thing isshiki isnt is dumb. But apparently victor assumes he is if he thinks jigen dosnt know what hes on about. He started to suspect victor months ago that he was playing at something. Right now he dosnt know what it exactly is but the truth is soon to reveal itself.

"I nearly died from all this! I lost my company too!" Victor yelled as he wobbled with his cane. "Anyway what's the condition of the vessel?" He asked. "Everything is going favorably... The divine tree huh? Something only fools would come up with" jigen said. Victor stared at him. "If you want to fulfill your wish stop dreaming absurd dreams" jigen said.

"I'll take your warning to heart" the old man replied. Once he finished talking blue Patterns appeared around jigen. He stared at victor as he vanished. After that he made his way for his room. He hasnt seen Solana in a few days because hes been busy with everything else. He finally has some time to spare so why not see her.

The door to his room opened and he walked in. He watched as Solana turned around from the bookshelf then smile. He kept his eyes glued to the girl as she walked in front of him."Welcome back" she said. In the past 6 years not single thing has changed about her. Not her looks or her attitude. She havent tried to run away even once.

As the years passed she knew her time being alive were getting cut shorter and shorter each day but she didnt seem to pay any mind to it. Isshiki expected her to try talking herself out of being eaten but to his surprise she hasnt. But it wasnt like he would've cared. His plans will continue no matter what.

Jigen walked past her and went to the couch. Solana turned to him and watched as he sat down. She then went and did the same next to him. Years ago isshiki decided to allow her to sit next to jigen again because she cried in front of him thinking his reason for not letting her before was because she isnt human.

All he could do at the time was silently watch her with wide eyes. He couldn't believe she was shedding tears over something as stupid as that. Honestly she gives him more and more reason to pity her very existence. The girl dosnt even have a clue he isnt human himself and by now he thought she would've figured at least that much out by now from the way he fights.

After the first year Solana came he began thinking over an important and obvious detail. The girl is too weak. For the 10tails seedling to sprout a living otsutsuki must be fed to 10tails. However the tree is like a regular fruit one. If its given water and good sunlight the fruit it bears will be better and high nutrients. The same is like the god tree. If the otsutsuki that's being fed is young and of good quality the fruit that must be consumed gives greater power.
