Training was going smoothly. God, what fun it was to fly! I was really enjoying it. Of course, I had already flown on my summoned beasts and parachutes, you could say I was floating, but when you have your own wings, and you use them to completely control your own flight, it's just something! At first, of course, we learnt to fly, and, as Beloglav said, I usually flew straight down. Yeah, new limbs, though. I can control them almost as well as a newborn chick, but that's still at the first level. Although I've become less controllable with the changes in my body. Of course, they were only a plus, but because of them sometimes some parts of the body just did not keep up with the others, like legs after arms. Yeah, that sounds weird, but it's a perfect description. The strength and speed of my legs increased and I even started to adjust to my new body Taijutsu, which I originally had something mixed from my father's and Guy's lessons. At first it didn't work out so well, but with patience and daily practice I started to get something going.
Wings, on the other hand, were much worse. I could do the simplest of movements, but that was it. And when I was concentrating on controlling the wings I couldn't think about anything else. I couldn't think about wings and body control at the same time. It's not that it was not good for flying, with this level I couldn't even see myself flying. But patience and labour, everything will work out! That's the local analogue of what Belobryukh used to keep me motivated. He taught me to fly and did it very carefully, at some point I even felt some silent support from him. And so, practising for days and nights I finally succeeded! The joy was just intentional. It was a new sensation for me, a new feeling, a new emotion. After that, I was already just pumping the Skill level and started to master the Birds of Prey fighting style. It wouldn't have been a big deal if only Yuame-san hadn't interfered. No, I don't hold any grudges against her for that incident and I've almost forgotten about it, but that's not the point. Her teasing, teasing, and jokes used to seem like fun, but that's not the case anymore! After everything I've seen, I can't help myself and I'm constantly staggering around the worlds. The Chief and Squirrelbelly don't like it and I was often told off for such antics, but what could I do!?!?
In fact, when I told Whitehead about my situation, he jokingly said: "Just do whatever you want with her, that's all." What a joker! I'm sharing my problems with him, and he's making fun of me. And then he told me that Yuame-san had a crush on me for a long time and that he was in favour of it! How can a child be bullied like that?! I'm an adult, but he doesn't know that! If it were me, I'd believe it if I was five years old. But no, even though I have a pretty high rep with her, she can't have feelings for me like that. If I believed it and went to her, I'd be declared an enemy of the people! Yuame-san is a well known female bird, and many Birds have fought to the death for her, but in the end she was just pushing her own strength and blowing everyone away with death threats. Hmm, and if I did, would she just kill me or give me to the worms like she did to the more insolent ones? Though I'm the boy from the prophecy, so she wouldn't be allowed to...maybe that's why she's bothering with me?
Well, after a couple of days, when I couldn't take it anymore, I thought I'd look in the Auction and find some potions specifically for this kind of thing. I found one, but it wasn't a potion, it was an artefact.
[ITEM: RING OF THE HIGH MONK]
ITEM CLASS: C
TYPE: ACCESSORY
A MONK WHO SPENT A HUNDRED AND ONE YEARS IN THE MOUNTAINS FAR FROM CIVILISATION AND THE OPPOSITE SEX LEFT BEHIND A SINGLE RING WHICH HE WORE UNTIL HIS DEATH.
+100% ABSTINENCE +20 CONTROL
ADDITIONAL EFFECT: CLEAR MIND.
Putting it on I really felt a calmness, but at the same time I didn't lose concentration. Control really improved too, and training got better, and most importantly Yuame's teasing stopped working on me and I could look at her breasts peeking out of her not so modest clothes without any reaction, and everything else. Heheheh, peace and love, what peace....

Uzumaki's training ground.
There were explosions, screams, mats, moans, groans, heavy sighs, crazy laughter and the like. At first glance, it might have seemed like a real, twisted and torturous game was going on there, but as if it wasn't. More than several thousand Shadow Clones of the Red-Haired Half-Bird were simply training here. Although no one could call it a regular training session. Looking at one half of the range, one could say that there were only masochists obsessed with fire. On the other side of the range were sadists obsessed with explosions. Only in the distance, under two centuries-old trees, lay the calm Clones, responsible only for teaching the children. Looking at his fellow Clones, one of them spoke to the other.
- Listen, is it normal for them to train for so long without stopping? - Saying that, he slowly moved the tip of the straw from one side of his lips to the other.
- Well that's what they were made for, what are you talking about? - Rising from his homemade pillow, which he had perfected quite well in so many days, the second Clone said.
- That's not what I mean. Didn't the Original only leave chakra in them for more than three days? And today was the fourth day of their training. And the Rassensuriken team is definitely wasting a lot of chakra on each attempt. They were supposed to just release Elemental Chakra little by little. We're the ones who don't waste it because we don't use any techniques and only use it to maintain ourselves, but they do.
- Oh, you mean that. Well, I stopped by this morning to ask them the same question. By the way, I almost got burned once, and the other time I miraculously dodged a Technique flying towards me. Well, I guess they thought the Original wouldn't join their ranks.
- Yeah, well, every time he comes back he just picks up Mina and runs towards the mansion, completely oblivious to the devastation around him and the crowd of Clones training a completely different Technique. I wonder when he'll realise that we're done with Waterfall.
- When his hormones are gone and he finally decides to visit us, but it won't be soon, because every time he's had a nice ¢€k¢@ he just comes back with a Callback. Anyway, the Clones realised that they were about to get divorced and decided to think of a way to solve this problem.
- And just scatter and pass the memories on to the Original?
- Nah, I take it they don't want to tell him so soon that they've started this massive training and are only killing people who aren't directly connected to the Original in the Cloning chain.
- Hmm, expected. So what did they decide?
- Well, after some thought, they started pumping Kurama's Chakra.
- What?! They're using his chakra now?! Wait a minute, won't that be detrimental to training?
- I don't know about Rassensuriken, but for the affinity group, Fox's chakra helps.
- How's that?
- I've been thinking about that too. Remember the battle with Paine in the anime?
- Yeah, why?
- When Kurama possessed Naruto's body and was getting out of that mini moon played by Yahiko, he spewed real flames out of his mouth! So I guess Kyuubi has an increased affinity for it and it helps in pumping up that Element.
- Hmm, that makes sense. But these guys are still kind of weird. Why would they hunt each other using only Fire Techniques?!
- Maybe they got bored? I'm thinking of joining one of these groups.
- Who's gonna train Naruto and Sasuke?
- Well, we're basically a backup in case the main teachers who are currently taking the kids out of the Academy don't have a good time. I'm getting a little tired of doing nothing all day, at least they look fun.
- Yeah, tell that to your little brother and Junior Uchiha. I once heard the Clone Mentors threaten to send them to these clones in case the younger ones decided to skip training.
- Did it work?
- At the sight of them, Sasuke started complaining about the pain in his eyes.
- 0_0...
- Yeah, that's right. So by the end of the training, I smell that we'll have the opposite of Bisyonen's Smile Skill.
- B-brother, they're hunting each other again. - The small Geniuses approached the training ground and the blond, at the sight of the bloodthirsty grinning Clone who was launching Phoenix Flowers at his fellow Clones, froze in place and slowly backed away as the Clone games slowly approached their training ground. The brunet was no better and with wide eyes he gripped the Clone's hand tighter as he took them away from the Academy and his expression read directly that he would rather stay there and run from his crazy groupies than train next to really crazy Shinobi.
- Huh, I'll put up the Barrier. Will that calm you down? - Clone, who had just arrived, said with a sigh, holding the hand of the two boys. - Hey, you two lazybones! Go and tell them not to scare the kids and to get away from this range. - He shouted to the Clones chattering under the trees, and they nodded obediently and strode off in the direction of the Fireground.

- What do you mean, kidnapped? When?! - Ryoshi kept his wits about him and didn't want to lose control of his emotions, but it was still a question that bothered him and he raised his voice to the Hokage.
- We suspect that this happened right after the Academy classes ended. They could have started acting up when your wife was taking Karin Uzumaki home. - The Third understood his interlocutor's feelings and had no intention of reproaching him for anything. On the contrary, he would be surprised if Uzumaki didn't act like that. No matter how cold-blooded a person was, but when informed of something like this, anyone could display some aggression.
- Hiruzen-san, I urgently need one of your ANBU's who knows all the information about this incident and can relay it to me completely on the road. - The head of the Uzumaki was as serious as possible and there were notes of order in his tone. But finding out anything about his behaviour right now was something Sarutobi didn't want to do.
- Are you going to go on a chase? - Ryoshi was a little annoyed that the Hokage was wasting his time talking, but he realised that he couldn't just leave the Village like that. That's why he specifically asked for a source of information in the form of one of the ANBU operatives, so that Sarutobi himself wouldn't have to put a tail on him. Even so, there was a possibility that the Third would send a few more of his men after him, but Ryoshi could get away from them, leaving him with only one of his own men by his side. On the way, Ryoshi had no doubt that he would be able to deceive the man sent to him, at the very least he would use the Technique of his eyes, Tsukuyomi. Admittedly it could also depend on who Sarutobi decided to assign to the job. What Uzumaki feared was that his long time friend, Itachi Uchiha, might be sent to him. Yes, that would be a problem and the chance of that happening is quite high, since the genius of the Uchiha Clan is currently the captain of the ANBU and the Hokage's most trusted man. But time is short, so there's no choice, and if Ryoshi has to brainwash his friend, he'll do it to save Mariko and Karin as quickly as possible, while hiding his abilities and actions.
- Yes, I'll move immediately. If they committed the kidnapping a few hours ago, there's a good chance they haven't reached their country's borders and can easily be swatted down once I get to them.
- How do you track their location? We don't have that kind of data.
- "What an old geezer! Trying to get as much information as he can at a time like this! "But there's no time, I'll have to answer that." I have pretty high sensory abilities and I can definitely track my chakra in the seals on them at this distance. - That's right, Isobu has already started searching and should find them soon.
- I see. Then I'll give the go-ahead for that, but I'll ask that once you have full information, you don't leave my man behind.
- Of course.
- Panther! - An ANBU appeared beside me and knelt on one knee in front of the Hokage.
- Yes, Hokage-sama! - While Hiruzen was explaining to her what her task was, I was thinking. SARIKAWA?! What's wrong with that?! Now I'll settle for Itachi too, but why her?! Okay. Maybe brainwashing her will be easier, and if we just get information, we can ignore her altogether. But how come?! I've got a lot of luck, I can't tell you. But I'll just have to think about saving Mariko and Karin now.
I waited for them to finish their conversation, and then headed straight for the exit of Konoha. On the way, I sent one Clone to the Quarter to explain everything to the Original, or rather his Clones. Well, not everything, of course, but only that I had to leave urgently on business outside the Village and that it was urgent, but did not require his intervention. All I need is three thousand angry Clones racing around Kumogakure. They'd be furious, because the Original had grown attached to Mariko and Karin, and even if he didn't value them like Minami and Naruto, if he did, all the Clones could activate Fox's chakra through a channel to the Original, but he still cared about them, so a bloody trip to Kumo was guaranteed. Although I'm not so sure about that after the incident a few weeks ago. The Original isn't that stupid and doesn't make the same mistakes, so he could have acted differently, but a trip to Lightning Land would still be a possibility.
Moving along the upper paths, I noticed that Sarutobi had sent a small group of ANBU after me, perhaps even specialising in hiding their presence, but my Byakugan still detected them. After a couple of minutes of running like this, I turned to my escort.
- Panther-san, I'd like to know the most you know about this incident and how the ANBU got such information.
- Yes, Ryoshi-sama. But I'm not at liberty to tell you the source of the information, I apologise.
- Panther-san, I don't think you can hide anything from me at this time. The Hokage has asked you to tell me all the information you have on this case, including how the ANBU found out about this kidnapping. This is very important, and if you don't tell me, there's a possibility that the NSAIDs may have set this up and my suspicions are growing by the second. This is not the time for you to plead secrecy, otherwise I can forcibly extract it from you. - I'm threatening and I'm pushing the YAKI to be convincing. I don't care right now that I might scare her and she might report the case to Sarutobi. It's not critical and I haven't taken any action against the Village or ANBU yet.
- I still can't... - she was frankly scared, though she tried not to show it. I, on the other hand, stopped using pressure and smiled.
- I'm sure you're aware of our relationship with Hiruzen and such information will not harm you and your unit in any way. I sincerely hope that you will judge things correctly and carry out the order given to you. - Sarikawa hesitated, but after a moment, she began to speak.
- Yes! Four hours ago.
Hmm, so even the ANBU doesn't know much. The only known information is that the ANBU discovered the infiltration of the Village, and after chasing the intruders, they came across a group of Kumogakure shinobi and the kidnapped Mariko and Karin. According to reports, they were completely covered in blood and wounds. After a minute fight, the ANBU had to retreat and the group of kidnappers were able to get away. According to preliminary information, there are more than ten of them and each one was at least Tokubetsu-Jonin level. But that's not exact information, there's a possibility that there were allies waiting for them a few kilometres away from Konoha. When I heard about this, something seemed off to me. How could they infiltrate the Village so easily and know the location of their targets? Maybe they had a different goal in mind from the beginning? No, that can't be it. They were definitely aiming to kidnap Mariko and Karin, and possibly all of the Uzumaki, including Naruto and Original. But those were inside the Barrier, so they could have been waiting for an opportune moment, but only managed to kidnap Mariko and Karin, who were returning from the Academy at the time. Hmm, but something was definitely wrong. They couldn't have known that those two would be outside the Barrier, and if they were guarding them, how could they avoid being spotted? After entering the Village, they should have been searched for, but according to Sarikawa, they were able to quickly enter the Village and kidnap my wife and daughter and leave immediately. And these wounds worry me. If they wanted to test their ability to restore someone else's reserve by absorbing their blood, they shouldn't have made so many wounds, just one would have sufficed. And it's worse for them if the target is wounded too much. Then what? Are there traitors in this village?
- Ryoshi, I found them. - came from a calm voice in my head.
- Isobu, hurry up and let me feel them. - I answered him mentally.
- You only address me by my real name when it's serious. Alright.
Using Tails' Chakra I felt where they were and... something was wrong. My seals, I couldn't activate or deactivate them. It was like they'd been broken. Wait a minute. Did those wounds. They broke all the seals on their bodies?! But how could they know so much?! Only a few people know about my ability to make such seals. Which means.
- Sarikawa, try not to lose consciousness. Tails' veil.
- How do you know... QYAYA!!! *Without paying attention to her words, I activated my cover and made a giant hand out of chakra to grab the body of the bewildered girl, then I accelerated as fast as possible and dashed straight towards Mariko and Karin. That way I left a tail, in the form of two ANBU and four Root ANBU, yes, the servants of bloody Danzo were here too. But no matter, moving as fast as I could I headed towards one madman's trap made especially for me. Also along the way I purposely made sure Sarikawa couldn't stand it and passed out, moving with all the speed I could muster. She doesn't need to know what happens next...
***
Twenty kilometres from Konoha. The forest.
- What are you going to do to us? - She was tied to a wide tree trunk, breathing heavily, and asked the man standing next to her.
- ... - Her answer was silence. A man in a Shinobi uniform and wearing a Kumogakure protector stood silently with his back to his victim and gazed into the depths of the forest.
- Not going to answer? Hahahahahaha, is everyone in Korn so taciturn? - After the last words, the person in front of her flinched, but still didn't answer her. - Looks like I guessed it. What kind of situation is this? At first I thought you were selling us to Hidden Cloud, but since we've stopped halfway and as I realised we're not going to continue, you're up to something else?
- Shut up already. I'm not allowed to talk to the victim. - The shinobi couldn't stand it and told her to be quiet, but she wasn't going to stop.
- Why did you stay here alone? Do you think I didn't notice your comrades? Even though they pretended to leave, they really just hid within fifty metres, didn't they? And why would you do all that? When you add up all the data I have, it turns out...we're the bait? - she watched her watchman's reaction carefully and noticed immediately that he was worried. - "Then I'm right. They only kidnapped us to bait Ryoshi-kun. To get him out of the Village, but for what? Do they want to kill him? Or do they want to kidnap and sell him? We need more information." Why do you want Ryoshi Uzumaki?
- Will you shut up already! - The shinobi grabbed the tanto in his hands and put it to Mariko's throat. - One more word and I'll kill you!
- You can't kill me, can you? - The woman only smiled and brought her head closer to her enemy's weapon and he immediately recoiled back.
- That's enough. Get away from her. - A frail-looking old man approached them with half of his face bandaged, hiding his right eye.
- Y-you!... - the woman opened her eyes wide in surprise.
- The young wife of the Head of the Uzumaki Clan. Mariko Uzumaki, right? It's a pleasure to meet you.
- Why do you want my husband? What are you going to do with him?
- You really are strong-minded and resourceful to have figured it all out so quickly. But can you continue to be so loyal if your daughter is at risk? - The man approached the little girl, who was also tied to the tree, and with his hand touching her chin, lifted the child's unconscious face.
- Don't touch her!
- What an interesting gene Uzumaki is after all. Despite all the wounds that were sustained, even a little girl like that doesn't even think of dying from blood loss, and what a fast regeneration you have. I was afraid at first that you might accidentally die from all the necessary cuts you received and was about to call Mednin, but seeing your condition I was greatly surprised. - Pulling out a Kunai from his sleeve, he swiped it across the girl's cheek and blood immediately flowed out.
- Stop!!!
- Do as I say and the girl will be fine! Or is your new husband more precious to you than your own daughter?
- I'll do anything, just don't hurt her. - Tears flowed from her grey eyes and began to fall on the wounds that had not yet healed, causing Mariko more pain, but at this moment she was only thinking about her child.
- Great, that's the way to do it. Don't send any signals to Ryoshi Uzumaki and sit quietly. He should get as close to you as possible and not suspect anything, understand? - The woman nodded dropping her head down in helplessness. She valued her daughter more than anything else, and she could not let her get hurt. Danzo disappeared into the shadows and the clearing was once again left with only the two bloodied and tied to a tree hostages and the Shinobi in the Hidden Cloud outfit. After a couple dozen minutes, Mariko's whole body shook and she looked up to stare shockedly ahead. - "Ryoshi-kun?!"
***
- "Hm? Did she pass out already? She's fast." - Uzumaki thought to himself as he looked at the girl in his paw. Soon he slowed down and removed his cover and began to move through the branches of the trees. He still carried Sarikawa in his arms as well, while trying to move as quietly as possible. - "Yeah, it's been a while since I've carried her in my arms. When was the last time that happened? I can't remember. Okay, no time for nostalgia, we have to hurry." - Ryoshi thought as he looked at the young Uchiha's sleeping face.
I was clearly moving towards the direction from where I could feel my chakra and could already sense Mariko and Karin. They seem to be in bad shape and there's no way Mariko can start healing and my seals aren't working for some reason. I wonder what he's up to.... Already near the right place, I left Sarikawa and immersed her in Genjutsu. Not with Sharingan, but a simple Genjutsu based not on Dojutsu, but on normal Technique. It's good for the unconscious body. Now... With a shunshin, I dashed towards the clearing where Mariko and Karin were. When I appeared in front of them, I saw the following picture. Dirty, tattered clothes covered in blood, cuts all over their bodies, even on their heads, limbs hanging down as if paralysed, bruised and not only bruised, Mariko's hands bruised from trying to get out, pale skin on Karin's face, they looked terrible and seemed to have passed out from the painful shock, but no. I heard my wife's sobs and her hoarse voice....
- R-rushi-k-k-kun, p-p-p-pardon me. *I couldn't protect us. *S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-sorry. - The wounds...the wounds...the wounds!!! THEY WERE FRESH!!!! Did those bastards abuse her?!
- What?! Where did you...?! - came from behind me and I felt threatened. Apparently he rushed towards me as soon as he saw me and realised everything, but I effortlessly without even turning around just activated the seal on my back and pierced the man with sharp spikes of Water. He died instantly and after the Technique was cancelled, the breathless body collapsed to the ground and a thick scarlet liquid flowed out of it. I slowly touched Mariko's face and felt how cold it was. For a moment I thought of her death and immediately dismissed it.
- It's not your fault, it's okay. - When I said that, I smiled at her with the nicest smile I could squeeze out at the moment. - Everything's going to be fine now, don't worry.
- N-no, it's a trap! Please, please save K-Ka-rin and run away. - tears rolled down her cheek and into my hand, but I couldn't stop holding her. I opened the handkerchief and wiped her face clean of tears and blood without breaking contact.
- Trust me, I'm your husband.
- Huh...
- You finally showed up, and I thought I wouldn't wait for you. - I turned round and saw "him". One of the Elders of Konohagakure no Sato Village, the Founder and Head of the Root, a disciple of the Second Hokage and long-time friend of the Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura. When I turned around completely, I saw a huge flash of light and at the same instant there was an explosion! *The body I had just taken my life from was packed with Explosive Seals and they all exploded in a flash, but it was no big deal to me. I quickly created a Barrier in front of me, activating the seal on my chest and thus protecting not only myself, but also Mariko and Karin. When the fog cleared I saw that within a radius of twenty metres there was a huge blue Barrier with a very thick shape, which meant that it was very strong and reliable. At the same moment my body was shackled and I couldn't move. There were about seven Shadows moving away from me in different directions and at the end of each one stood a Masked Ninja. Before I realised what position I was in, a figure in black and white clothing appeared in front of me and touched my forehead.
- The Seal of Submission. - A strange pattern began to emerge from where it had touched me, and when the seal was finally formed, my body no longer obeyed me. Then, I saw the old man in front of me fold a couple more seals and walked around me and slapped my back with his palm. - Biju Suppression Seal! - A sharp pain shot through my body and I stopped feeling Isobu's chakra. I could feel Isobu's chakra, but it was so bad that it felt like he was three hundred kilometres away. Danzo started breathing heavily and gradually moved away from me. Then I started to feel a slight tickle around my legs. I felt bugs spreading all over my body and felt them absorb my chakra. *I felt a drumming in my head, and it wasn't the most pleasant sensation, but it was tolerable. I caught a glimpse of another masked Ninja who was kneeling down and breathing heavily. - Hm? What's wrong?
- I'm sorry, Danzo-sama. But I can't get into his mind. There's something in my way, like I'm hitting an invisible wall.
- Hmm, is it possible that someone better than you can do it?
- Negative, his defences are too strong and I'm afraid there's more than one layer to it. It would take weeks, even months, to remove his defences.
- And you seem to care quite a lot about your mind. Well, it won't do you any good at the moment. Rukiri! - he summoned someone and out of the shadows of the trees came one of the masked ninjas. He...or no, she, from the long hair falling over her shoulders it was clear that she was a girl, was rather short in stature and somehow unsure of her movements. - Hurry up.
- Got it. - There was a childish voice and the girl quickly ran up to the old man. She slowly took off her mask and I could see her face. White, not very long hair, pale skin, a skinny look, small lips of a bluish hue and deep, lifeless eyes the colour of the moon. You couldn't sense anything in them, it was as if she was empty at heart and just followed orders without thinking. Overall she looked like a skinny doll without any expression on her face.
- Ryoshi Uzumaki. I actually thought you would be harder to catch and that's why I prepared so many things to immobilise you. Limiting your space with the Barrier of Ages to prevent you from using large-scale Techniques, as well as the Three-Tailed Avatar with its devastating attacks, leaving a live bomb and sacrificing my man to distract you, summoning my best men from the Nara Clan, to immobilise your body, used the strongest Paralysis Technique and Biju Suppression to make sure you couldn't move and lose your main trump card, used the Aburame Clan bugs to drain your chakra so you couldn't do anything. They also broke all the seals on your body and all the places on your clothes where they were. For your final capture, I wanted to subdue your mind with the help of my Yamanaka Clan specialist, but I miscalculated. However, I think that will be enough to completely subdue you.
Don't look at me like that, I won't look into your eyes. I knew from what Fugaku told me that you had the same Sharingan Genjutsu power as the Uchiha. I'm surprised that the Uchiha Head himself didn't realise this, but I guess his pride doesn't allow him to accept such a humiliating fact. Hmm, you're probably wondering why I tried so hard to restrain you. Really, if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to paralyse you. And all this is to recruit you to my side, or no, it's all about your total submission to me. Despite all your mental barriers to protect your mind, this girl has an amazing Technique that can subdue anyone. The only downside is that she'll die after one use and there's no way to save her. No matter how hard we try to study her abilities, she's perfect for my plan. Come on, Rukiri. Use your technique, I command you.
- Yes, sir. - she also calmly started to walk towards me and was already five metres away from me as....
- Khey-hey...kha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! - I laughed out loud and Danzo along with that girl was taken aback by my reaction and then felt my BLOOD LUST! - Danzo, were you really going to use seals and barriers to defeat Master Fuinjutsu...?
