Garra

Even if everything was being laid out in the background, world was going on as usual.

Time had passed, Mizuki went back to Kaguya, he gave her ample time to discuss with black zetsu, if he was to solve her paranoia, he needed to get rid of all doubt.

That includes her doubts about him, mental doubt can make strength stagnate, Mizuki needed her at a 100% so it was essential that she understood where she stands in the grand scheme of things.

As for if there was truly a part of Mizuki in here, that wanted to get rid of his own doubts too, well, that was only for Mizuki to know.

" Is it today? Chunin exams. "

Whispered clone Mizuki as he saw the sand siblings walk around Konoha street, they were eyeing the territory.

' For an eventual attack maybe? '

Wondered Mizuki, Orochimaru should theoretically not attack Konoha now that third was dead, but it wasn't only Orochimaru who was interested in attacking Konoha.

Sand wanted to do it too, Orochimaru only used that desire to further his own goals, even without Orochimaru, Rasa would go for it on his own.

Kakashi who was standing on Mizuki's side looked up as he nodded carelessly.

" Yeah, it's today, you have been cooped up in your lab, you don't know it's normal, what have you been doing there anyway? "

Mizuki stopped his pondering as he smiled jokingly.

" I am thinking of giving you permanent Mangekyou, your very own ones, interested? "

Kakashi gave a wry smile, he didn't know if Mizuki was being serious, but this was Obito's eye, he won't lose it, even if it meant not getting stronger.

" No, it's fine, thanks for taking the time to think about me. Mizuki. "

Kakashi smiled as he thanked Mizuki, who only shrugged.

Looking at Garra stopping and looking towards him with a confused look, Mizuki raised his eyebrows.

He immediately put two and two together, about what exactly was happening here to being with.

So decided to greet the boy himself.

" How's it going? Enjoying Konoha? One tail? "

All three sand siblings had their eyes widen, as did Kakashi's who immediately uncovered his Sharingan, understanding the implications of what Mizuki just said.

Mizuki meanwhile teleported behind the three and kept his hand on Garra's shoulder.

" What..? "

Garra's eyes widened yet again as he saw his absolute defence fail immediately, this man could touch him without his shield coming to his defence.

" Sleep. "

Mizuki's eyes turned red as his Sharingan sprung into action, immediately Garra and Shukaku, both went dark.

* Thud *

Seeing Garra fall down without a fight, his sister and brother were utterly terrified.

They even thought Garra would transform right away after sleeping, but even that didn't happen.

Mizuki as if he didn't just neutralize the biggest threat to Konoha, smiled at the two siblings.

" A jinchuriki this unstable is crazy, your father is a madman, take care of your brother, if he runs amok in Konoha, sand can't afford that price. "

Both of the sand siblings were immensely glad that this man didn't seem to know of their plans to attack Konoha, but this didn't stop them from shaking in their boots.

Mizuki's aura wasn't something to be trifled with, it was this presence which drew Garra's attention in the first place.

" We will take him away immediately. "

Came another voice, Baki, thier guide Jonin had seen the entire thing, and was currently forcing himself to move, it was Rasa's idea that Garra meets Mizuki, the newly famous Blue Spectre.

Rasa wanted to see how Garra would fare against that man, who was the biggest threat to sand's attack according to him.

Waving his hand carelessly, Mizuki smiled at the man named Baki.

" Take him away, by design he is suffering, Rasa is a fool, tell him Garra would sleep for as long as it takes for his body to make up for all those years of insomnia. "

Baki's eyes widened, but Mizuki continued.

" I have heard a little about him, how he wants to make this boy the perfect weapon, his presence in Konoha means what, I think we both know. "

Baki's sweat was staring to drip like waterfall, because the newly famous spectre had just released his aura, this was an aura which was not present on even the one tail Shukaku.

Baki was certain spectre knew what they were here for, maybe he was sent by Konoha to warn them.

" I.. see. "

Baki nodded with difficulty, this was a tough operation to being with, this time around Mist, Konoha, Sand and Waterfall were the major participants.

This was going to be impossible to pull off, now that Konoha seems to know their plans.

Mizuki nodded with a smile as he lowered his aura, getting the idea, Kakashi immediately backed off as well, lowering his headband and covering his Sharingan.

" Let's go. "

Picking up Garra, Baki motioned to the sand siblings, who immediately scurried away as fast as possible.

As the three walked a good distance, Baki looked back and mouthed off a thank you to Mizuki, who smiled in return.

Kakashi seriously looked at Mizuki and said.

" You shouldn't have let the kid go, he was the one tail jinchuriki, judging from that Jonin's reaction, they were definitely here for an attack. "

Looking at Mizuki pursing his lips, Kakashi once again said.

" You were too soft on that boy.. did he remind you of Naruto..? "

Asked Kakashi, he too had heard the news about how sand's one tail was unstable, it was basic news high level Jonin like them had to be aware of.

Coupled with what Mizuki had just said to the man, and looking at the boy's overall look in general, Kakashi had put together a basic story in his head.

" He did remind me of Naruto, jinchuriki in general have it rough, but not even letting one sleep, that's a bit too much. "

Mizuki said, Garra sleeping off would not only heal him mentally, it would also stop the entire Konoha collapse in it's roots.

It's not like Rasa himself can do much, and Mist was here as well, Yagura, Mei and Utakata all were here.

Konoha was safe, Mizuki just made sure to help Garra along the way.

Now that this was done, he wondered why the rock and lightining hadn't come.

' Did the original body start his actions? That should be the only reason why both great villages missed the Chunin exams. '

Clone Mizuki nodded to himself, after these exams, it was up in the air how everything would go.

It could be the start of fourth shinobi world war, it could be Akatsuki's hunting or it could be a long time of peace.

Everything depends entirely on what the main body decides to do now.
