I-It's a S-Sharingan." One of the jonins muttered as he looked at the big red eye.

The commander didn't say anything but only stared at it for a few seconds. He then looked at the 2 figures standing and said "I had read about how strong the Sharingan was in the hands of the Uchiha clan but this is the first time I am seeing the horror of it. No one from the mist can use the Sharingan like AO uses the Byakugan which means you guys are leaf shinobis." The commander had taken time to calm down a little. He had recovered his composure but his eyes still looked tired as if life had been sucked out of them.

Yami canceled the genjutsu and saw all the shinobis from the base in front of him...Just like the genjutsu majority fell unconscious while some were kneeling. The commander and the jonins that were kneeling quickly felt chakra run through their bodies. Before they could recover a little of their strength from the dreadful experience of the genjutsu, Yami waved both of his hands sideways and multiple blades made of air rushed at the commander and the rest of the shinobis.

Under a second, all the shinobis including the commander were beheaded. Zabuza looked at all this and said "I thought you were going to leave some alive like the last base."

Yami nodded and said "I was going to but I didn't want to create a pattern through which I can be tracked. There is only a small chance that they will think these people were killed by someone else. The main aim was to collect the resources that are in this base along with whatever documents there are. Maybe we will know what their next step is."

"That does make sense...By the way, your chakra mixing into my mist made the mist spread through the entire base so even if they didn't have a sensor and come out, they would have come in the genjutsu anyway." Zabuza said as he went inside the base through the same hidden door that the shinobis had used.

Yami stood there looking at the bloodied corpses. Seeing that Zabuza wasn't there he devoured all the souls of the shinobis lying dead. As for devouring their corpses he only did that for the jonins and the commander while keeping their head intact on the ground as he did for the previous base. Yami didn't feel anything while devouring the corpses of the weaker ones so it was just useless.

As for devouring their souls, Yami had felt something when he was at the previous base and even now as he devoured the souls, his heart started throbbing.

'I should stop for tonight...I need to know what devouring those souls did for me or else it might be too late when I find out.' Yami thought. As he had said a few minutes ago to Zabuza, everyone fears the unknown.

After placing the heads in the puddles of blood, Yami went inside the base. He used his enhanced senses to find something hidden. If a base had a hidden door meant that it is highly likely that it must have a hidden compartment where all the confidential stuff or resources are kept.

As he entered the room he quickly understood that this one belonged to the commander. There was a big table with his painting hung on the wall behind his chair but Yami could see that there was an outline on the same small where the wall was less worn out...which meant the painting of the commander was recently put there and someone else's painting bigger than the current one was here.

Yami went close and slid the painting aside as it was hung on just one nail at the top center. He saw A small locker behind the picture. 'Damm that's the more commonplace to hide vaults in a movie' Yami thought as he ejected the assassin's blade that was under his sleeve and passed chakra through it to create a thin sharp blade.

He then cut the four corners of the locker's door with the thin chakra blade. As Yami expected, the chakra blade cut through the metal like a hot knife through butter. Yami held the handle of the locker and threw it aside to see what was inside the locker...Contrary to his expectations, there were only a few scrolls. Yami recognized one of them to be some kind of jutsu which had the symbol of the hidden mist in golden on it while the others looked like those that Anbus and intelligence-gathering shinobis use.

Just then Zabuza open the door and asked "You find anything?" his eyes fell on the open fault and he asked "I don't think that this is a hidden stone base but the hidden mist's and it is a pretty old one. Was there anything in the vault?"

Yami waved the normal scrolls he found and said "Just some normal scrolls. I haven't read these but they must be pretty important for them to be kept in here."

Yami had already put the jutsu scroll inside his pocket as he didn't know if Zabuza would insist on keeping an important-looking mist scroll in his hand or let Yami have it. Even if he didn't want Yami to have it then Yami would need to kill him and that would be a waste of a good ally.

"What did you find?" Yami said to which Zabuza smirked and said "Weapons... a lot of them." Zabuza said and signaled Yami to follow him. Yami followed him to the underground basement which looked worn down way more than the rest of the base.

"They kept weapons in such a bad environment?" Yami asked as he was following Zabuza but then Zabuza looked back a little and said "These weapons seemed to have been brought here not long ago. They must be from the hidden stone."

As both of them reached the place where the weapons were kept, Yami saw crates and crates of weapons kept there. Some of them were opened which Yami guessed that Zabuza must have opened to check.

"So are you going to give these to the mist or take it back the leaf?" Zabuza asked. Zabuza tried to sound casual went he asked that but he really wanted to know the answer as he knew how much of a boost this would be for the bloodline clans if they get these weapons. Yami didn't answer his question and went closer to the crates that were still closed.

He pried them open with a nearby rod and saw stacks of explosive tags in one crate while the other one was full of kunais and shurikens. Yami picked up the crate and kept it down on the floor to open the others. As he lifted the next crate, it felt very light to him.

"This one's so light that it feels empty." Yami said as he pried it open as well.

"What's this?" Yami said as he saw reels of transparent thread. Zabuza came closer and also held one of the reels in his hand and said "Oh this...its something only the land of Iron can make...it is a very thin thread that's covered with very fine glass powder. I don't know much about it but it is very sharp...only problem is it doesn't conduct chakra at all."

'Hm...I remember Itachi using something like this. This seems to be a sharper version of it.' Yami thought. He then looked at Zabuza who seemed to be still waiting for an answer.

"I will keep the crates that contain the threads...put the rest of them in a few storage scrolls. I will find a way to give them to the bloodline clans. By the way, why aren't these supplies kept in a storage scroll?"Yami wondered. He had used the storage scrolls many times and for different things. He didn't understand why a village would do such heavy lifting and all that instead of putting things in a scroll. It would be safer and faster that way.

"You belong to one of the oldest clans which is why you have that many storage scrolls. But in reality, for others, it is hard to get one as fuinjutsu is a very hard thing to master and very few have the aptitude for it and since it isn't too offensive, many don't even try." Zabuza said.

"Fine I will look around the base once again to be sure that we didn't miss anything. After that, we will leave." Yami said and was about to leave the room when Zabuza stopped him and said "Wait...are you planning on raiding another base as well?"

Yami shook his head and said "No...that's it for now. You can leave after we reach a safe distance from this base. I am already tired. Let's see what the news is tomorrow morning. Depending on that we will plan out our next move. We are one step away from conflict...I just need to weaken them a little more and make them more desperate for victory."

Seeing Yami talk to himself midway Zabuza understood that Yami's motive wasn't the freedom of hidden mist from the Mizukage faction but something else. It was not like he was curious or anything but he expected Yami to have some kind of personal angle in this.
