CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: THAT BRAT!
THAT BRAT!
Two days passed for Gilgamesh to fully understand the concept of chakra absorption as it relates to him and dual energy sources. Within those days, Anbu ninja after ninja were sent to check on the messenger and ended up receiving the same treatment as the messenger. This was beneficial to Gilgamesh since he had eager subjects willing to donate themselves freely to help him master chakra absorption on a very high level.
On the third day, Gilgamesh let Anbu ninjas out of his apartment to resume their daily activities with a question in their heads; what were they doing for the past two days? The Third at this point cancelled every other mission assigned to chunin-level ninjas and assigned them to the jounin ninja that were free in the village to get Gilgamesh back in case he was on a mission.
The Anbu ninja that were used as experiment subjects returned back to their peers questioning them about their gap in memory for the past two days. It was only a few Anbu ninjas who had clearance to that level of Intel that could answer them correctly, to which they were surprised. They were sure that they all arrived at Gilgamesh’s apartment but their memories became blurry after that.
“Don’t tell me…” One of the Anbu ninjas began talking to himself amongst her peers as an ugly hypothesis formed in her head.
“There’s no way… He couldn’t have…” another Anbu ninja who was also sent to Gilgamesh’s apartment began to shake his head.
“Genjutsu.” A masked boy who appeared to be the youngest person in the group from the sound of his voice finally commented while leaning on a tree.
‘Does he have a relation to the Uchiha clan? But everything about him speaks foreign. Even his origins are weird. Genjutsu of that scale? And to high-level experienced ninjas? It might be something else.’ The masked boy was in deep thought as he looked up at the tree that was providing shade from the sun.

“Lord Gilgamesh presents himself.” Gilgamesh said as he introduced himself before The Third.
The Third had already gotten used to his behaviour and could only spare it since he wanted the boy to be safe and confident in the village, and wanted to raise him as another weapon alongside Naruto.
“You, why did you have to fight…beat up an innocent ninja like him in the first place?” The Third asked as the ninja that assaulted Gilgamesh and Naruto some nights ago opened the door behind them and let himself into the office. The ninja had bandages wrapped all around his arms and half of his face.
‘This is seriously hard to believe. This man here in question is the lowest level Anbu ninja and is considered trash to even be in the Anbu, his redeeming feature is that he has tracking skills which are comparable to Kakashi because he is from the Inuzuka clan. But still, to have his ass handed to him by a child is something unheard of!’ The Third thought to himself as he inspected the man’s injuries.
‘But then again. The root is known for the peculiar and effective ways they carry out their missions. This could all be orchestrated by Danzo just to get a reason to kill or take Gilgamesh into custody. Tch, I am getting too old for all this, we have a coup to stop and Danzo is trying to distract me with this?’The Third kept on analyzing this in his head as his anger was made visible to all.
“Oh, no wonder it was smelling here. You were talking about this trash here. This one tried to kill Naruto and I after we had a bowl of ramen. You can imagine how scared we were, a big powerful man just came from nowhere and attacked both of us. It’s a wonder we survived!” Gilgamesh said as he moved his hand as if to remove a foul stench in the air.
“Then how would you explain his injuries then?” The Third asked gesturing for the ninja in question to halt whatever action he wanted to take.
“Maybe he slipped and fell? Who knows? I am just new to being a chunin-level ninja but this man in front of me looks like he has a lot of experience and seems like someone who can handle himself. No matter how talented I may be, do you really believe that I can cause such injuries to an adult like him?” Gilgamesh said as he tried to sound as innocent as possible.
“LIES! It’s all lies! He… he almost killed me!” The ninja wrapped in bandages and a walking stick said, finally losing his patience with the little brat in front of him.
“Hoho, are you saying that within days of me becoming a chunin ninja, I can just skip procedures and become a jounin ninja since I managed to defeat an Anbu ninja?” Gilgamesh said as his sly expression slowly turned into a smirk. Gilgamesh’s eyes looked upon the ninja who just expressed himself without filter to remind him of his defeat and how his life was in the hands of a boy for a time.
‘The little brat knows his politics well.’ The Third thought as he shook his head.
The Third has trusted Anbu ninjas that were close to the windows and trees around his office for protection. When they heard their fellow Anbu ninja complain outwardly and Gilgamesh’s reply, their countenance became cold. It was as if Gilgamesh was looking down on the entire Anbu unit as if their positions didn’t matter much and took his taunt as a challenge to the point that they all unanimously agreed to dispose of the trash that brought shame and dishounour to the Anbu unit.
The Third looked at the bandaged ninja with a sigh. He could sense the intent coming from his Anbu ninjas outside and looked at him one last time.
“You are hereby dismissed from the Anbu!” The Third proclaimed.
“What… But Lord Third… I…” The ninja tried to explain.
“Your identity was discovered by a mere child, and you think you can maintain anonymity after that? The information of the Anbu group could be at stake with just this and the secrets of the village at stake as well. Leave and pray that Danzo gives you a swift death.” The Third said as the bandaged ninja looked down in silence and soon left the office.
“Make sure it's quick.” The Third said openly.
A masked ninja appeared in the office after that, “We would have done it without you even ordering this sir. He has brought shame to us and his death should make for a fine punishment!” The masked ninja said as he dispersed soon after.
The Third sighed with his eyes closed as he rubbed his temples.
“Now where were we?” The Third asked no one since it was only him in his office.
“That Brat!”
