Chapter Twenty-Two

We have been settle within Foosha village for around two years now.

I have spent the last two years training with my Rinnegan becoming fully capable of using it to its fullest. Because Madara was unable to use it completely at the time I copied it from him it required a great deal of effort on my part.

This two years with my Mothers in Foosha village has been incredibly peaceful and fulfilling. Silvia and Mother both got jobs and integrated into the village incredibly well. So much in fact they have made many friends within the village.

As I am no longer a ninja of Konoha I have decided to go on a journey to places I personally want to in order to increase the cards I have at my disposal. before I was at the mercy of relying on the luck of my missions to find people worthy of using Body Snatcher on.

I use the White Zetsu based technique Mayfly and merge with the Earth. It may not be as fast as a Space Time Ninjutsu but travelling using this technique is way quicker than if a normal ninja was to travel.

I then arrived at the place where my first target is located. It was none other than the Village hidden in the Rock also known as Iwa. The reason I am here is the ability known as Dust Release the only know Kekkei Tota within the whole of the Naruto fiction.

Infiltrating the Iwa was simple with the use of Mayfly. I honestly become amazed at the infiltration capabilities of White Zetsu. it is no wonder he was used by the Akatsuki and Madara to gather Intel.

The land of Iwa is now in the midst of transitioning from the Second to the Third Tsuchikage. The second has recently been killed in a battle against his life long rival the Mizukage of the Village Hidden in the Mist.

I use a combination of my Sage Mode and Yamanaka sensory abilities and find the Third Tsuchikage's location. The Third Onoki who will become quite an important character during the fourth world war.

I was however disappointed to find out that Onoki has recently declared war on the Leaf, Wind, and Rain villages at the same time. This has kicked off the Second Shinobi World War.

As I remained hidden I listened to their briefing and it seems that since the loss of the second Tsuchikage the rock have been losing missions to rival ninja villages. It seems he plans to gain resources that his village is lacking by taking them from the villages he sees as having taken them from him.

I waited as is my usual Modus Operandi. Luckily when I use Mayfly my body becomes as though it is almost entirely made out of wood. This takes away the need to eat or breath or even relieve myself. It simply requires a steady stream of Senjutsu Chakra which I constantly produce.

This form makes me next to impossible for sensor ninjas to detect it does however severely limit my abilities to defend myself. As such I have to leave the wood like form in order to safely battle anyone.

When the sun goes down and the night becomes quiet I use my Byakugan to see exactly what Onoki is doing. I could sense it perfectly but sometimes seeing something is for the best too. When I know all of my senses are reporting the same thing I know I haven't fallen into a trap. In the ninja world you can never be too careful.

After completing a huge pile of paper work Onoki stands from his desk rubbing the small of his back. It seems even now he has issues with back pain. He soaks in a large bath area within the Tsuchikage Residence. I felt a little averse to watching another man Bathe but this is for the mission.

Onoki got out drank a bottle of milk. and made a loud and refreshed "AH!" sound as he finished. It seems he has recovered from the stress of the day with this. I felt like chuckling watching the normally intimidating Third Tsuchikage behaving in such a manner.

After this he retired to his room. There he and his wife retired to bed. I never really gave much thought to him being married in the manga and anime but as he has grandchildren it stands to reason he has a wife and children too.

Luckily I wasn't forced to witness any matrimonial like relations this evening as the two fell asleep pretty quickly.

When I was certain he was in a deep enough sleep my body began to emerge from his bedroom wall. I only emerged partially as I am overlooking the sleeping couple. I reached out a hand that is no longer in wood form and touch the Third Tsuchikage gently.

Body Snatcher activates and with me in control of the Thirds Body I open my eyes to see how incredibly creepy the partially emerged wooden figure of me sticking out of the wall looks like. The body of the Third is technically still asleep so he is under the effects of what they call sleep paralysis.

The only reason I managed to open his eyes was because ninjas are trained to be able to combat the effects of sleep paralysis in order to complete their missions safely.

I quickly use Auto Copy and lay back down closing the eyes of the Third Tsuchikage. I end Body snatcher and quickly zip back into the wall just in case. Luckily the Third remained asleep completely unaware that anything happened. I backed up his data and made my way out of the Hidden Rock Village where I preceded to decode all of the data giving myself the knowledge of all of Onoki's techniques.
