Chapter 20: Suzumebachi


Naruto rolled his neck as he got out of bed, feeling more than a little bruised and sore. Despite the completion of the mission from the day before, he couldn't help but feel a little beaten up. Mizuki had managed to escape the day before with the Legendary Stupid Brothers and Naruto had been tasked with bringing him in.

The mission had been dangerous; Mizuki had obviously been training inside of Konoha's prison. Then the two brothers had also been a hassle. Iruka had even got hurt.

Naruto moved to stand under the shower, remembering the day before. The two stupid brothers he had decimated until he realized they were more worried about their stomachs than they were the actual battle. He told them to go back to the prison; they'd get three square meals a day. With Mizuki they weren't even guaranteed a single meal each day. That had gotten them to head back to the prison.

Naruto had been surprised by their raw strength; it was no wonder that Konoha hadn't executed them. They were too valuable if they had that sort of strength.

Mizuki, Naruto found out, had been given something by Orochimaru. It was like an incomplete cursed mark. Naruto didn't bother trying to take Mizuki in. He had to struggle to get close enough with his Rinnegan abilities, but he managed to absorb Mizuki's soul.

That had been an interesting experience. Naruto got Mizuki's experience and memories and it had almost made him throw up. Despite having done it to Orochimaru, Naruto didn't get the emotions involved as well, just the memories.

Naruto was also dealing with the backlash emotions as well. Mizuki had a lot of hate inside of him, but for a time he had genuinely loved Tsubaki. Naruto had been tempted to take her to his bed, to experience that love that she had given Mizuki.

In the end Naruto chose not to. Not because she wasn't a good looking woman, she was, but more because she just cared too much about Mizuki. He couldn't bring himself to do that to her. He at least lied to her, telling her Mizuki's death was quick and painless.

Naruto was sure he could even force her to desire him more than she had loved Mizuki, but thinking about the woman, Naruto didn't use his Sexual Aura on her. He rinsed out his hair under the hot water and shook his head out a bit. If Naruto did such a thing to Tsubaki, it might as well be a date-rape drug. He had done it against Kagero and Kotohime and that had been bad enough. He wasn't doing it to an ally.

Naruto stepped from the shower and quickly got dressed. He sat down on his couch and he looked at his hand. He closed his eyes, trying to focus. He inhaled slowly and exhaled. He was trying to steady himself. He was trying to wipe his mind. To use the Divine Chakra, he had to use logic and not emotion. He had to clear himself of emotions.

His Divine Chakra allowed him to use techniques with less chakra; it was more about control and less about power. Using the Demonic Chakra, it was all about power. The stronger the technique, the better it was to use Demonic Chakra with.

He felt a flicker and saw the slow glow of white around his hand and he closed his hand, managing to hold it long enough to do so. Pride welled up inside of him and the white glow vanished. "Damn." He whispered to himself before he stood up. He had work to do and had to report into Tsunade.

Naruto spoke with Iruka and found out that as a Chunin he was almost constantly doing missions, particularly C-Ranks. He didn't mind at all, but he wasn't scheduled for a break anytime soon. It was why Iruka taught at the Academy. It was easier on his schedule and he enjoyed teaching.

Naruto shook his head while grinning a bit to himself. So this was what he signed up for in particular. He had to say that he was enjoying it. Then again, he was hoping to be Konohamaru's Jonin instructor instead of Ebisu, but there was no guarantee of that so he'd have to make do.
