Chapter 58 - Chapter 57

Hello, I want to say something before we begin: I might omit many details, and Miyu might just come along and kill any ninja with ease. In some cases, that might be true, but in others, it might not be.

But it doesn't matter, because no matter what the enemy does, they can't kill Miyu. She regenerates much faster than she can be damaged in some cases, and with Sage Mode, this healing is exponentially faster.

Therefore, Miyu can easily tank 90% of jutsus to kill the enemy in one hit. That's all I wanted to say. Let's begin the chapter.

----------------------------------------------------------------

*Flashback Jutsu*

As I examined the seals on the ground, I checked them, making sure everything was in order.

"Cough cough," a voice said behind me. I looked to see Han, tired, drained, and with his muscles already weakened. "What are you trying to do, ugh?"

"This," I said, pointing to the seals and the Iwa ninja who was in the middle of it all. "It's a forbidden jutsu, one that brings the dead back to life in exchange for a living vessel."

I didn't have much trouble telling him, since with the tongue seal I couldn't reveal any of this.

"Damn it, cough cough," Han said, starting to cough. "You'll pay for everything you've done."

"Maybe so, but that time isn't now, I assure you; I don't mind paying for all my sins." "Once I've achieved my goal, I'll embrace death without remorse," I mocked, throwing my arms wide, exaggerating everything.

Han could only watch me, furious.

"Let's drop the trivialities and see if this works; "It can't be anything less than that bootlicker Kabuto," I declared, forming the hand seals for "Summoning Jutsu: Edo Tensei."

With that, papers appeared around the Iwa ninjas and began to adhere to their skin.

"Argh, Ahhhhh," he started screaming, but no one did anything, as this place was a screaming house.

Once the screams subsided, all that could be seen was a handsome man with long blue hair and black eyes.

The one standing before me was my father, Kato Dan.

"Perfect," I said, seeing that the jutsu had worked.

"Manipulating and disturbing the lives of those who rest in peace in the afterlife... cough, you're worse than a monster," Han said.

"I might disagree with your opinion, since we have different definitions of what a monster is. "I'm tired of listening to you talk; go to sleep," he replied, punching him in the stomach, which made him vomit blood and faint.

"Good, three more to go."

*End of Flashback Jutsu*

In the middle of the Village Hidden in the Rocks, four coffins opened, revealing four ninjas who had already died.

The four stepped forward, their bodies riddled with cracks, yet proving they were still alive.

"How strange, I don't remember the afterlife looking so desolate; I mean, a village in the middle of an attack," said the ninja with long black hair.

"That's because it's not the afterlife, Hashirama," replied the ninja with white hair.

"Oh, Tobirama, it's been a long time. Wait, you died too," said the one now recognized as the first god of the shinobi. "Oh, you're here too, Mito, and... who are you?"

Beside Tobirama stood Mito Uzumaki, and a little further back was Kato Dan.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, even if it's in death. I'm Kato; nice to meet you," said my father.

"And who is Kato Dan?" Hashirama asked, to which Dan didn't know how to respond.

"Snap out of it, Hashirama; this isn't the time for this nonsense. And well, I imagine you have a good reason for bringing him back to life, don't you, miss?" Mito scolded her husband, turning her gaze on me.

"I thought this jutsu was forbidden," Tobirama said, glaring at me.

I didn't answer either of them, as I was more focused on the Iwa children around me. None of them made a move, but they were tense, ready to attack, yet afraid of me and those behind me, since it's not very difficult to recognize the First and Second Hokages.

Onoki, even though he was still affected by my genjutsu, was already walking in this direction, so we had to start acting quickly.

"Isn't it obvious you're helping me steal all the relics and treasures of the Village Hidden in the Rocks?" I declared to myself.

The ninjas around me just glared at me with hatred and gripped their weapons tightly.

"Hmm, I sense something inside you. Are we related?" Hashirama asked, approaching me until we were very close; I could easily accuse him of harassment for this.

"Of course we're related; after all, she's the daughter of Tsunade and the young man standing next to me," Mito explained to her husband, sounding somewhat annoyed.

"You're Tsuna's daughter, so no wonder I sensed something in you, but there's more," Hashirama commented, closing his eyes and concentrating.

Kato Dan remained silent, watching all of this, just looking at me, but I knew there was something he wanted to tell me.

"That doesn't matter. What bothers me is that you brought her back to life for such a selfish wish," Mito said, walking towards me, annoyed.

"Doesn't it bother you that I brought back her youth too, Granny?" I said mockingly, creating an ice mirror.

Mito snatched the mirror from me, ignoring the ice manipulation to look at herself.

I see she thought she'd been revived with the appearance of her death.

When Mito looked at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but smile.

"I think I overreacted a bit. You must have another hidden reason for this, so I'll allow it," she said, handing the mirror back to me.

A bead of sweat appeared on the faces of the three men at this.

"I sense more than what's being said here," Tobirama said, looking at the enemies surrounding us.

"Then why don't you find out for yourself?" I asked him, to which he just looked at me, pulled a kunai out of thin air, and threw it, disappearing.

"He's gone," Hashirama said.

"Well, whatever, they can do whatever they want as long as they distract the whole village; I can revive him later to explain all this," I said as I walked toward the Tsukuyage Tower. During my walk, I glanced quickly at my father, who nodded and left with a Shunshin.

"Good, I'll be waiting for that explanation," Hashirama said, looking at all the Iwanin surrounding them.

I didn't wait any longer and entered the tower.

The moment I stepped inside, I started hearing shouts and explosions outside.

"Stop, intruder! We'll stop you here and now!" said an ANBU alongside other ninjas, a mix of Jonin, Chunin, and ANBU. They were already inside the tower when I attacked.

"Hmm," I mused, forming a hand seal that summoned a chain attached to an axe and a spiked ball. "Want to bet?"

I didn't let him answer; at full speed, I launched myself at them.

"Elemen—" he couldn't finish the jutsu because with a spin, the spiked ball flew straight at him, and since the weapon matched his speed, it hurtled toward his head, shattering his skull.

Three ninjas rushed at me, throwing kunai and shuriken, but I blocked them all and landed on top of another ninja.

"Damn it," she said, trying to strike with a fist made of stone; with the axe of my weapon, I destroyed her hand and, in the process, half of her body.

The other ninjas kept their distance, realizing that fighting me hand-to-hand wasn't a good idea.

"Scared?" I mocked them. Consequently, they trembled with rage. The place wasn't very big, and earth-element jutsus tend to cover a lot of ground, so if they were attacked, it could end up hurting or killing allies, and we all knew it, and I was taking advantage of it.

...

After killing all the ninjas in the room, I began removing all the ninja weapons embedded in my body.

My wounds regenerated as if I'd never been there.

Using my sensory abilities, I noticed that some ninjas still remained in the tower, including those underground.

So, using seven hand seals, I performed a jutsu that would ensure no one could bother me.

"Ice Release: Fivefold Barrier," I said.

The temperature inside the tower began to gradually decrease. Suddenly, ice began to appear around the tower, and before they knew it, there was an ice wall covering the entire area, only for another to appear and another, for a total of five.

Each wall was about three meters thick and infused with my chakra, making it more resistant than normal.

Inside the barrier, the temperature began to drop drastically, reaching below 0°C.

With my defenses ready, all that remained was to eliminate the rest of the tower's ninja and find what I was looking for.

First, I went to the Tsukuyage's office, but two jonin-rank ninjas appeared in my path.

"Youuu…" one said, lunging at me with murderous intent.

"Wait!" the other shouted, but it was too late; his partner had already attacked.

"Earth Release: Earth Golem," he said, but unfortunately for him, his tongue was faster than his hands.

Thanks to the extremely low temperature, the ninjas, unaccustomed to this climate, moved slower and more clumsily than they should have.

Thanks to my resistance to ice, my special body, and the steam element that kept me at an ideal temperature, I was able to avoid freezing.

My body steaming, I struck my enemy's hands, then placed one on his chest. "I see you're cold; how about I warm you up?"

As I said this, a great amount of steam filled the hallway but especially enveloped the Iwa ninja's torso.

"AAAAAAHH," the man screamed in pain. Once the steam subsided, his body was revealed, stripped of its clothes and skin, his flesh glowing red and blood pouring from his body. Thanks to the heat, all the fat and muscle remained intact.

Overcome with pain and the shock of seeing his body like this, the man collapsed, unconscious.

The other ninja, who had avoided the attack by entering a room, emerged to find his companion in a horrifying state.

"This can't be," he said in horror, only to see that I had already lunged at him.

The ninja managed to deflect my attack to counter it, but also, affected by the temperature, he wasn't as fast as my second attack.

Using the Ice Release, I created ice claws in my hand and with a single blow, I shattered his jaw.

Throwing back in pain, he tried to form a hand seal, but I was faster.

"Ice Release: Ice Impalement," and from my icy hand, several spikes shot out, impaling the ninja and killing him instantly.

Looking at the enemy ninja's corpse, I sighed and took the opportunity to check the room he had entered.

...

"You hug trees; you won't get away with this," the Iwa ninja breathed, her last breath, dying without half of her lower body.

Her face seemed familiar, so I pulled out the Konoha Bingo Book and started looking it up. I saw she was a ninja with a bounty on her head and also Onoki's daughter-in-law.

"I guess killing her wasn't such a good idea, but since I did it, I told myself, cut off her head and collect the bounty later.

At that moment, the door burst open, revealing a civilian with a scroll under his arm, walking toward me.

"You left a trail of ashtrays all over the tower, Miyu. I think you went a bit too far," the civilian, who works in the tower, scolded me.

"Maybe so, but that doesn't stop me from being brutal with my enemies; it's in my nature," I replied, taking the scroll to see what it was about: the Dust Element and how to learn it.

Bingo.

"I don't recall raising you like this, and I don't think Tsunade did either," the civilian said with a sigh.

"When you died, Tsunade fell into a depression, neglecting me for quite some time," I said without looking at him, focusing on the scroll.

"I was afraid of that," he said, a little serious. "Anything else I should know?"

"Hmm," I thought of something else. "That she's still single," I blurted out as if that should matter.

"I don't know whether to feel good or bad about that," he declared, looking around the room. "I imagine you did all this on your own, since the higher-ups wouldn't order you to do something like this."

"You're absolutely right," I replied, still staring at the scroll.

"Then this will cause you problems; they'll most likely pressure you to continue the war and might even accuse you of treason. Do you have anything to prevent that?" he asked, to which I pulled a piece of paper from my coat and handed it to him.

"That's why, in addition to the Dust element, I'm gathering information on Iwa: their escape routes, their secret tunnels, their scientific advancements, their total military strength, and everything else for Konoha's high command. This will help defeat Iwa more quickly; besides, with this document, I'll clear almost all the blame for what happened here," I explained.

Dan looked at the paper, which was a document for a mission from Root.

During the time I worked for Danzo, I learned how to create these requests and documents so I could forge his documents and then claim that everything I did was on Danzo's orders, and the proof would be this document, along with the way the mummy himself thought.

"But you wouldn't be blaming an advisor from Konoha, would you? Wouldn't that affect the higher-ups?" he asked worriedly.

"Relax, Danzo could attempt to assassinate the Hokage and Hirzune could pardon him without any consequences," I told him.

Dan looked at me as if he didn't believe me; how sad that it wasn't a lie.

At that moment, a loud crash was heard outside the ice wall, followed by another and another.

About 40 minutes had passed since I brought the First Hokage and the others back, and I had been completely focused on gathering information from Iwa, ignoring what was happening outside.

After yet another study, the ice wall cracked and suddenly shattered, revealing a horse with the face of a dolphin.

The Five-Tails had made its appearance.
