Naruto: Systematic Shinobi

Chapter 200: Mist Shadow Booty -7

"I'm sorry?" Mei mouthed and just stared at him for a moment, "That…makes no sense. While I cannot account for your ability with the sealing arts, and will not contest them at all if the Sandaime Hokage claimed as such, it still simply isn't possible. It takes time to be able to use a Bijuu's power, the only way that would be possible is if you completely subdued the Bijuu."

"Or the Bijuu cooperated with me willingly." Daiki pointed out happily.

"Highly unlikely," Mei shook her head, "Why would the Bijuu cooperate with the person who just sealed them?"

"We'll get back to that, because it has a lot to do with your old Mizukage before he died," Daiki shrugged and stood up, "If you want, I'll show you proof."

"Very well, I admit you've peaked my curiosity in multiple ways now." Mei nodded, gesturing for him to proceed.

"Alright then, try not to fall in love with me," he winked at her, "Or do, I'll happily go out with you if you do."

She gave him a mirth filled look even as he concentrated chakra into his eyes. A familiar red dust shimmered into existence before seeping into his body.

"Incredible, I can't sense your chakra now even with me standing right in front of you," Mei noted, "A dojutsu?"

"Yup," Daiki nodded, "It's a special little trick that lets me hide my chakra. Sensors can't feel my chakra at all and even the Byakugan can't see my chakra at all either."

"You haven't seen anything yet." Daiki laughed and then he went for the big reveal. He spread his arms wide open and reached deep within him to touch upon Isobu's chakra and called it forth.

In all but an instant, it bubbled into existence. Unlike Naruto's that took time to form as a new inexperienced Jinchuuriki, he was anything but.

The crimson red chakra cloak formed around him in the blink of an eye, three massive shrimp like chakra tails waving behind him.

Mei's eyes widened in shock, "All three tails…and that easily!?" she gaped, "You were actually telling the truth. But that speed, not even Yagura could call upon all three tails of the chakra cloak so swiftly."

He didn't say anything, just continued grinning at her and let her come to the conclusions on her own.

"A truly perfect Jinchuuriki," she realised, and then something else dawned in her eyes and something like a cross between awe and horror shone in her emerald green gaze, "And I still can't sense your chakra even like this…assuming you are indeed a perfect Jinchuuriki then…" she trailed off.

"Yeah, I can't be sensed even in our full Bijuu mode," Daiki confirmed for her, "Even my jutsu can't be sensed, I could fire off a Bijuudama and not a single person would be able to sense it."

"That's almost too absurd to believe, if I didn't see this right now, I would not believe it," Mei shook her head, and slumped back into her chair, a long frustrated, dismayed sigh leaving her lips, "This is going to cause an uproar in my village you realise?"

Waving his hand, Daiki dismissed the chakra cloak and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it were never there to begin with, "Already given up demanding for the Sanbi back?" he teased her.

"Who would ever agree and do such a thing?" Mei snorted, "The ability to be completely undetected, even while using the full power of a Bijuu. That is the thing kage's like myself have nightmares about. You could waltz into other villages and destroy them before anyone even realises what is happening."

"Yeah I'm kind of awesome like that," Daiki puffed his chest out, and leaned against her desk, "Anyway, now you've heard on basically why we want this alliance. Are you ready to hear about why you'll want to ally with us?"

"…I'll be honest at this point, I just assumed the underlying thread that you'll fire a Tailed Beast Bomb at my village without me able to do a single about it would be the incentive." Mei snorted.

"Nah," Daiki laughed, "That's just to get you to go out on that date with me and maybe let me pick out the bikini."

Mei ran a hand through her lovely, thick auburn hair, "My my, truly you are a dangerous boy," she laughed despite herself, "Well then, what is the true incentive the Leaf is offering?"

_____________________________________

Mei hadn't been sure what to expect when the renowned and legendary Professor, the God Of Shinobi, the Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen reached out to her with the notion of an alliance between the Hidden Mist and the Hidden Leaf.

It had come completely out of left field and not something she'd expected to ever happen in her wildest dreams. Since the inception of both villages, not once had they been allies.

And to be frank, as much as it hurt to admit, there was little they could offer the Leaf, especially in their weakened state.

They had lost the vast majority of their most powerful force. They had lost both of their Bijuu. Their troops were at an all time low. Even monetary wise, they were completely in the red.

That said, while the temptation had been there to save face and block off the offer, she wouldn't allow her pride to outweigh the benefits that the Mist could obtain from such an alliance, even if briefly.

Upon agreeing, she'd been sent another message from the Leaf, to expect an envoy who had the Hokage's full backing and approval in the negotiations.

…She was not at all expecting a young teenager. And definitely wasn't expecting one, like Daiki Yurei.

The boy casually leaning against her desk, as if he weren't in a foreign village grinned boyishly at her, "Incentive huh? Well, how about I start with a gift."

"A gift?" she hummed, before smiling at the boy, "Is it perhaps expensive chocolates or jewelry? I'm told those are a staple for dates."

Was it wrong for her to partake in flirting with the young man, a foreign shinobi? Definitely. But he was such a handsome young lad, and just look at those arms.

So yummy. Just what would they feel like wrapped around her, sinking into her skin?

"Sadly not, I wasn't sure what kind of things you preferred," Daiki shook his head, grin never leaving his face, "You should let me know for next time. And fill me in on your three sizes while we're at it, I'll need them if I'm gonna buy you clothes as a gift too, like that bikini for instance."

So brazen and bold. Men rarely paid her attention romantically, for reasons she simply could not fathom no matter how she tried to appeal to them. So none had ever spoken to her anywhere close to the way this boy was.

It made her belly flip flop deep inside. And it took a concentrated effort not to giggle girlishly.

Men from the Leaf were truly a different breed from here in the much more conservative Mist.

"I'll keep that in mind for when we finish up here." she replied, and if she fluttered her eyelashes just a little bit, well that was just normal wasn't it?

"For reference, what kind of bikini do you prefer?" Daiki leaned slightly over her desk, and as he did that deep scarlet gaze of his flickered to her abundant cleavage and his gaze turned almost hungry, sending a shiver down her spine, and he made no attempt to hide where he was looking, "Personally, I'd love to see you in a nice little string bikini, maybe in pink or white."

Such blatant lust for her! As if he wanted to launch himself over the desk at her and snatch her up and have his way with her!

If he did, she might just let him.

"I've never worn one, it's actually not something you'll find on sale anywhere here in the Mist," she admitted. After all, for the over a decade they'd been in the process of a civil war, beach attire was hardly going to be a seller during that kind of period, "I suppose I'll have to leave it up to you?" she winked at him.

A look of surprised flash across his face at her words, as if he couldn't believe what she was saying. Just like when she told him of her single status. As if he couldn't believe men weren't lining up for her. As if he couldn't believe there was not a clamour to see her within a bikini.

It made him all the more appealing to her. She would definitely steal him away from the Leaf right here and now if he weren't such an incredibly important person to the Leaf, they would definitely go to war over this boy. Anyone would.

The surprised was replaced a moment later by that boyish grin again, "So I'll be the first to ever see you in a bikini huh? Nice, I'll hold you to that then," he laughed in delight, prompting her to laugh alongside him, "For now though, gift wise I suppose you'll have to settle for this." he held his hand out, and suddenly space twisted.

And a massive blade appeared in his grasp

Her eyes widened, "Kubikiribocho!" she uttered in surprise. She'd heard rumours that Zabuza Momochi had been killed, but to think it had been true.

And it seemed that it was at the hands of the Leaf, just like Raiga. Did they hunt him down specifically to use in talks of this alliance?

Was Daiki the one to do it? Just like with Raiga?

Either way, as far as gifts went to open up negotiations, it was quite the grand one.

Personally, she would have preferred the bikini. If he was that interested in her dressed as she was now after all, just imagine what he'd be like in such a skimpy outfit.

He'd probably pin her down right then and there and have his way with her!

Even so-

"Thank you," she thanked him as the leader of the Mist Village, "This will go a long way to restoring some of our lost strength."

"That's good," Daiki nodded, placing the blade down atop her desk in front of her, "Beyond that, I know where the rest are."

Huh?

She blinked, "You…do?"

They knew of course, where Samehada was, or at least who had it. They had no idea where Kisame Hoshigaki was though. And retrieving the blade form him was a pipe dream right now, even she wasn't sure of her ability to defeat him. With Samehada in hand, he was a direct counter to her.

Beyond that they knew just whom had the Kiba Blades had been, alongside Kubikiribocho, well until now at least.

But the rest? They didn't have the faintest idea where they were.

"Samehada is in the hands of Kisame obviously, and he's part of a group you might have heard of. A mercenary group called the Akatsuki." Daiki revealed.

Her eyes widened. The Akatsuki!

Of course she had heard of them. They were quite well known for selling their services to the highest bidder, she had no idea Kisame had joined them though. But beyond that, was something she'd kept close to her chest. The only others who knew of it, were Ao and Chojuro.

In their final battle with Yagura, they'd learned that through the vast majority of his tenure, he'd been under an obscenely powerful genjutsu. And that, there were ties to Akatsuki. She'd long since held the suspicion, that Akatsuki had somehow been controlling Yagura, but had no proof.
