With Jugo drained and calmed, Daiki unravelled the dragons from around him, and let him down. He stumbled a little, from the sudden lack of chakra, but Daiki put a hand on his shoulder to steady him.
"Alright there?" Daiki asked with a grin.
Jugo blinked slowly, looking completely stupefied. Before turning to look at him over his shoulder, "You…dealt with me, so easily," he uttered in disbelief, "Not even Kimimaro or Orochimaru can handle it as easily as you did…and I'm back to normal already?"
"Because I drained your chakra out," Daiki explained, letting go of his shoulder, "I have an offer for you Jugo."
"An offer?" Jugo tilted his head to the side, "But wait. Just who are you, really? You said your name was Daiki? Were you sent here by Orochimaru?"
"Orochimaru is dead," Daiki informed him bluntly, "So is that Kimimaro guy by the way."
Jugo's jaw dropped, "Kimimaro…is dead?" he gasped, stumbling back against the wreckage of the door frame, "And Orochimaru too? But…how?"
"Oh that's easy, I killed them." Daiki shrugged.
"You…" Jugo stared at him in horror and disbelief, his legs giving out beneath him. He slumped against the destroyed doorframe, cupping his head between his heads, "Why…did you kill Kimimaro?" he asked, voice trembling with grief, tears forming in his eyes.
"Cuz he helped attack my village," Daiki shrugged, "Orochimaru brought him and a bunch of his other subordinates to attack my village, kill my people and capture me and a friend of mine, Sasuke Uchiha."
Jugo looked up at the mention of Sasuke's name, "Sasuke…the one who was to be Orochimaru's body in the future?"
"Yeah, him," Daiki nodded, "He wanted me for something as well. But that isn't important. What is. Is that when they came to my village, I slaughtered them all. And took everything from them instead." he said, before lifting his arm, his skin rippling as a blade of bone emerged from his wrist.
"That's…!" Jugo gaped, eyes flying wide open even as tears ran down his cheeks, "Kimimaro's bloodline?!"
"That's right." Daiki nodded, smothering a smirk. He clenched his fist, and the blade launched from the side of his arm with so much speed and force, a sonic boom erupted.
It slammed into the reinforced wall and through it, shattering it to pieces. And kept going, tunnelling through the mountain itself the whole fortress was built into. Tearing through hundreds of feet of dense bedrock, before coming out the side and flying off into the distance where it slammed into another mountain and blew halfway through it as well, leaving a huge gaping hole.
Jugo stared in disbelief at the massive hole where light now shined in, "Kimimaro once aspired to be the vessel of Orochimaru did he not?" Daiki mused, "Instead, he's become a part of me now."
A far better outcome than being the vessel for Orochimaru to be honest. He supposed he did technically live on as an Edo Tensei.
But allowing even his mind controlled self to interact with Jugo and be known to Jugo, would lighten his punishment for attacking Konoha.
"I…see…" Jugo bit his lip, finally tearing his gaze away from the hole after a few moments of goggling, "So, Kimimaro's will lives on in you now?"
Well, not really.
But, he didn't mind abusing that thought.
"Something like that," Daiki shrugged, and held his hand out to the tall orange haired man, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Daiki Yurei, and I am the Godaime Hokage of Konoha. Come with me Jugo, and I'll make sure you never have to worry about losing control of yourself ever again."
Jugo's eyes widened, "You…are the Hokage?" he gaped, "But…I thought the Hokage was Hiruzen Sarutobi."
"Not anymore. As of now, after Orochimaru attacked the village and I repelled him and the invasion entirely myself, I became the Hokage," Daiki explained, grinning at him, "As you can tell, I have the strength to subdue you so you don't need to hurt anyone anymore. And beyond that, I can help you. I will make it so that you will never lose control again if you join me."
Jugo bit his lip, eyes going to his hand, before back to his eyes, "You can…?" he asked, hesitantly, "Not even Orochimaru could do that though…"
"I'm far stronger and competent than Orochimaru," Daiki shrugged, "And yes, give me some time, and I'll be able to make sure you won't hurt anyone else unwillingly ever again."
Using the Heavenly Star Seal as a basis, and editing the filtering part of the seal, it would be well within his ability to help him.
And with Jugo by his side. He could apply his own Heavenly Seals to those he deemed worthy. With none of that one in ten survival rate that mediocre seals user Orochimaru had to do it with.
Jugo stared at his hand.
And a moment later, he took it.

After bringing Jugo to his side, there was one other place Daiki had to visit. A place, that contained perhaps even more important things than Jugo himself.
Something Daiki longed for.
That was why he appeared in a swirl of displaced air, in the far east of the Elemental Nations, deep in a vast forest. Right in front of an enormous stone serpent head jutting out of the forest floor.
Orochimaru's Eastern Hideout.
The place where he kept not only the scroll containing the Shiki Fuin technique scroll, and how to take back the contents within the Shinigami's stomach. But where Suigetsu Hozuki was kept.
But even more importantly than both of those things. Was, the Eastern Hideout, was where the vast majority of Orochimaru's scientific technology and equipment was kept.
Daiki placed a hand on top of the stone serpents heads nose, the marker of his Kagatsushin technique forming atop the snout.
Before making his way inside, down through a long dark, narrow tunnel leading deep underground.
Along the way he placed a marker every fifty or so feet until the tunnel spread out into a vast cavernous base. Lit up in an eerie green light from lights spread throughout the base itself.
From what he knew of his brief looks into Orochimaru's head, alongside Kabuto's. Orochimaru had designed all the technology himself. From the lights, to the very generators providing energy to the base.
A casual glance with his eyes, was all it took to peer through the very length and depths of the hideaway. Scanning every room, every hidden passageway, every nook and cranny.
The sheer potency of the depth of field of the Shinkugan, combined with the enhanced perception and photographic memory of the Sharingan.
He never needed a second glance at anything if he so desired.
He made his way to the main laboratory. At the very depths of the base. Silent and eerie, the place was completely empty.
And if he were anyone else, he might have found such silence in such a vast space underground, terrifying.
But there was no need to fear the unknown, and a silent base underground. Not only because he knew everything about this place.
But also because, he was the Hokage.
And there was nobody scarier than him.
