CH 4: The Day the Weapon was Activated [4]

Time went by for the peculiar family...

Both women alternated with the best precision in the world to take care of the baby giving him all the attention possible, without neglecting their duties as Konoha Kūnoichi. While Kushina kept intact her reputation as one of the strongest Ninja despite no longer having the Kyūubi inside her, Konan gradually became known as Aoishi (Blue Samurai), since her Origami Ninjutsu was untimely and brutal against her enemies, as if the tide of the sea was crushing them against the sharp rocks of a cliff.

(A/N: According to a user from Japan, the name Aoshi is of Japanese origin and means "Ao means blue, and shi means Samurai in Japanese. Aoshi, means brave, gentle, well-trained and educated, and never defeated strong Samurai".)

As for little Naruto, who was already 4 years old, people looked at him with an extraordinary coldness, because although it was forbidden to talk about the incident of the day of his birth, all the adults of the village knew that he was the container of that terrible spawn that almost destroyed the village and because of their ignorance they did not distinguish between the Kyūubi and the little one.

The blond infant almost never left the house so that he would always be protected within the walls of his home, since his two protectors knew that the villagers would possibly attack him if they found him alone in the street.

At first konan did not believe what kushina had told her about the blind hatred that people directed against the Jinchūuriki....

But one day, when Naruto was 2 years old and the three of them went out together for the first time to do the house shopping, she immediately noticed those cold stares that didn't bother to hide their hatred for the little blondie. As time went by, people, far from understanding what had happened, dedicated themselves to spreading all kinds of absurd rumors to, according to them, justify why two of the best Kūnoichi of the village were taking care of the monster that had almost destroyed the village.

Mind control, possession of their bodies, the Kyūubi had stolen their souls, or after murdering the originals, the Bakegitsune had created clones to take their place so that he would be protected while he prepared for his revenge...

As time went by, people were creating more and more incoherent rumors and lies.

To avoid problems, both Kunoichi decided to move to a house on the outskirts of the village and stock up in the surrounding villages, at least until he was enrolled in the Ninja Academy and according to the law of Konoha, it was illegal to attack him in the street... Although that move away only caused the villagers to continue exaggerating the rumors and some Ninja, the most influential, began to believe all that nonsense.

And that's what caused that incident...

...

One day like any other day, both women were at home, doing chores, taking advantage of the fact that it was a day off for both of them and so they could be attentive to their beloved little boy, who was playing in the corridors of the house with the toys he had.

The two moms of the little boy were preparing a delicious meal for their little boy and for themselves, since it was his fifth birthday and they wanted to give him a big surprise: a cake and a huge pot of ramen made just like the little boy loved. They were very excited because their child had not been reached by the prejudices that existed throughout the village and trusted the people, so when he was a Ninja, he would prove them all wrong and the Kyūubi was just a burden that the child carried and doing so, made him a hero.

The little blondie was unaware of the hatred around him and since he hardly lived with other people besides Kushina and Konan, he was very naive and innocent, like every child at his tender age....

That's why everything was so sudden.

A group of Ninja, secretly, were preparing what they believed would be the salvation of the village ...

The plan they had been plotting for years, was to impersonate Ninja from other villages and pretend to kidnap the little boy, when the reality was that they would assassinate him outside Konoha as soon as they had the opportunity.

It took them years of planning, as they methodically watched the movements of Kushina and Konan, whom they foolishly believed they would free from the demon's influence. House, academy, mission, departure from Konoha to stock up....

It was a meticulous work that gave them a great advantage and with a discreet observation of the house as extended as methodical, they infiltrated to go through every corridor of the property when the peculiar family left Konoha for supplies.

Several times they were tempted to destroy it, but that would only alert the protectors of that spawn, so they limited themselves to explore and gather information.

That group of four Ninja, two Shinobi and two Kūnoichi, had their refuge in a supposedly abandoned house not far from the one inhabited by kushina and therefore they could spy freely as long as they maintained absolute discretion. The members of that plot were:

Sora Ishida, a Chūnin who was 20 years old, with blonde hair and who had lost her husband when the Bakegitsune crushed him between her teeth. She had stolen a Jounin uniform from Kumo and with a Henge, had darkened her skin.

Jyou Tachikawa, a 32-year-old Jōnin with blue hair, who watched helplessly as the beast demolished his home with a claw, with his wife and children inside. He complemented Kiri's clothes that he had stolen from a corpse with special makeup that gave him a cadaverous appearance.

Koushirou Mochizuki, a 21-year-old black-haired Jōnin, whose sister was burned alive by the embracing flames of a fire set by the monster in its destructive frenzy. His Ninja costume from Suna that he had obtained by revealing classified information was supplemented with a mask.

And the leader, Hikari Takaishi, a 23-year-old brunette ANBU, who could do nothing when her parents were crushed by the claws of that diabolical entity. Her Iwa Ninja disguise was complemented by a special clay she stole from the military facilities of the Earth Nation village in order to mold a new face.
