19: Lost Tower (2)

"Do not move, you imposters. Now, I shall punish you for performing a serious crime. Now what shall your punishment shall be, hmmm, should I feed you to the lions alive and together burn you alive or have Boro limds tied and then pulled each of the four cardinal directions. Oh, but not before both of you are tortured by me to no end until both of you confesses your intention as as why have both of you are pretending to be Konoha shinobi. Your fingers would be crushed one by one painfully, have your kneecaps gouded out, and then. . ."

As Number One coninued to blab about how he was gonna torture them in the most detail way as possible.

Yamato and Shinobu was at first startled after hearing the voice that has the impression of a sophisticated tone as it reminded them of a certain madman shinobi.

Then moments later they stared at each other in disbelief as they realized their situation. Out of all the people why do they even have to meet that psychopath in the past.

And there was also one thing they have discovered after hearing Number One babbling about what he was gonna do to them, were. . .

'That psychopaths personality were twisted ever since he was a child!'

"And I'll smile as I watch both of you die. A slow agonizing death. . ."

"One-san! . . . Is that you One-san!"

Now this was definitely Yamato's mistake.

"Hold it right there you imposter. Last time I check I'm still not famous in this world, and who told you to interrupt me? Now that will definitely add to the torture as I will take out your organs while your conscious and. . ."

Yamato almost felt his soul escaping his body. He thought that since Number One in front of him right now is a child maybe he still hasn't developed his twisted personality.

But boy, was he wrong!

While Number One still continued talking, Yamato noticed that his entire body was only bind using Number One's famous shadow in his timeline. Yamato made a Snake hand seal and shouted out the Jutsu.

"Wood Style: Great Forest Jutsu!"

Yamato's right arm changed into sharp spear trees as it head towards Number One at a high speed.

Number One had actually purposely didn't include binding Yamato's arms as he wanted to actually fight fight from the beginning.

"Chidori."

He calmly said the name of the technique as the crackle of blue lightning that still echoes around his hand as the sound reminiscent of many birds chirping.

Number One's Chidori clashed together with Yamato's Wood Style and while onto that, the shadows that was binding the both of them loosen as it retracted back to its owner.

"Wood Style. Isn't that the famed Kekkei genkai the Shodaime Hokage used. Now please cooperate and follow me back to the village—"

Number One took out his kunai in the storage seal as fast as he could and blocked the attack.

'Fast!'

Number One exclaimed.

What happened was that Shinobu unsheath her katana and dashed towards Number One in a high speed as her katana was then clashed with a kunai, Shinobu adjust her katana and broke the kunai as Number One jumped back and distanced himself.

'Her speed is fast. If I hadn't activated my Sharingan from the beginning then I'm sure that I wouldn't be able to block her attack.'

Yamato and Shinobu stared at Number One with widen eyes and astonished expression.

'One-San blocked Shinobu-san's attack, even though he's still a kid. One-san is  monster even in his childhood!'

'That guy in my childhood days actually possess such strength?! That guy who continuously kept teasing me!'

Number One dashed towards Yamato as he delivered a punch towards his right shoulder, however, Yamato was a former Anbu and is also one of the Konoha's pillar he was about to grabbed Number One's fist when suddenly Number One changed his position.

He lowered his body as his fist grabbed onto the ground, his left knee positioned on the ground as it is the full support of the technique he was about to use, and finally he delivered a low kick as to which Yamato slightly jumped in the air to dodged it.

Number One let out a distinctive smile as Yamato and Shinobu shuddered in horror.

'Fuck! Its that's fucking smile!'

As Numebr One's low kick didn't work he still followed the flow, his left leg was now standing, his right fist now formed into a palm as it sticked on the ground. He twisted his body as his right leg crashed onto Yamato's rib and his left palm switch with his right palm.

Crack.

Crack.

Yamato could swear that he heard his rubs just crack. Yamato was then sent flying to the wall.

Shinobu dashed towards Number One with her katana and Number One with his kunai as they clashed.

"HAHAHA! You're very strong woman."

Shinobu didn't say anything, but deep down she was in relief. As Shinobu manage to cut Number One multiple times, instead of feeling pain Number Oen laughed even more as he distanced himself.

"How positively delightful! Thankfully Number Two and Three aren't here right now to stop me from enjoying a bloody fight."

Now Shinobu deadpanned as she finally understand as to why Number Two and Three would prevent Number One from fighting in her childhood.

'Number One was a psycho and a masochist from the beginning!'

Number One throw 3 shuriken towards Shinobu as he exclaimed.

"Multi Shadow Shuriken Jutsu."

Multiple shurikens were heading towards Shinobu as she deflect or dodge them all.

Number One was about to touch Shinobu with his Rasengan, when suddenly Minato appeared next to him and grabbed his hand as Number One deactivated his Rasengan.

"Stop Number One. They are not an enemy."

Minato ordered with a stern tone.

Number One ignored the tone Minato was using as he walked near Yamato and began healing his ribs and injuries.

"I know."

"If you knew then why did you attack us!"

Number One look at Shinobu with a smile on his face.

"I just wanted a fight that's all. And isn't the main question your suppose to ask is; 'When did I know?' Or 'How did I know?'"

Number One finished healing Yamato who thank him.

"As for the first question I knew it since the beginning, and the second question is that both of you has Minato-san sealing formula and chakra. At first I was confuse but  then when I inspected the womans face for a moment she is the adult Shinobu. Minato-San do you remember Sanae-san younger daughter."

Minato nodded as he praised Number One's deduction.

"I suggest that we finish this mission quickly since both of you has the future Minato-san sealing formula, worse case scenario, the future Minato-san might sense something is wrong because he could no longer sense both of your chakra  and who knows, maybe in the seconds later the future Minato-san might teleport next to you."

"You're right One-kun. Both of you since our mission is to eliminate Anrokuzan let's help each other."

"Wait! My older sister is not here!"

"Do you mean that you older sister also came together with the both of you from the future?"

Minato turned his head next to Number One as he remarked.

"Actually, One-kun. There is an another time traveler whose name is Naruto, I sent the boy to protect Queen Sara."

Number One nodded as he placed his hand in his chin and pretended to think.

"Caw!"

Number One raised his head as Raon comfortably sat on his head.

"Number One I saw a woman similar to your friend."

Number One smiled as he thank his partner.

"I'll take care of your sister Shinobu."

They part ways as Raon guided Number One to the location.

"Thank you for your assistance Raon."

"No problem!"

Raon caw'ed as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Number One stared at the lady in front of him who still unconscious, he sighed. Aren't the only ones who came back to the past is Naruto and Yamato? Why the hell is Shinobu and Kanae here?

Whatever the answers are, he didn't want to know fearing that the future might change because of his actions and decisions after knowing the answers.

He sat on the ground waiting for Kanae to wake up. He could wait, they could take care of eliminating Anrokuzan.

Now that he took a closer look at Kanae her eyes were filled with eyebags. He shook his head, he poked Kanae's cheeks hoping that she would notice that he was poking her.

And it did, she woke up and took a kunai that Number One's Sharingan couldn't even follow, he didn't have any choice as he raised his hands in the air letting her notice that he wasn't going to harm her.

"Please, put away the kunai in my neck."

He was astonish to himself, it was his first time pleading to somebody after his mother died.

He could see that Kanae's eyes were staring at his eyes with suspicion, he just let out a distinctive smile.

"One-kun?"

"Yes, it's me, One-kun. Now would you care to explain as to why are you here?"

"I as—. . . I'm sorry, I can't tell you. I promised 'him' that I wouldn't tell anyone."

He hummed in understanding, he stood up from the ground as he offered Kanae a hand. She gladly took so as he began to lead Kanae towards her other comrades.

The entire time, he could tell that Kanae was secretly glancing at him with sadness and worried eyes.

He pretended to not noticed anything as they finally arrived at the scene where Mianto thrusts one of his kunai on the ground and seals began to filled the ground.

I hurriedly took Kanae's hand and Body Flickered near them.

"I apologize that I'm late Minato-San."

I spoke with a not-so-sorry tone that no one noticed.

"It's fine One-kun. We have already defeated Anrokuzan."

Number One stared at the four of them who began glowing with light.

He didn't say anything as he had already expect atleast one of them to spoke first.

"Hey, are. . . Are you one ni-san? . . . Where did yo—"

"Okay! Okay! Don't say anything that are related to the future! It might change the timeline!"

Mianto stopped Naruto from revealing any future information.

Number One was curious so instead he asked Siri.

"Siri, what is Naruto about to say? Also don't waste any time."

"He's asking where did you went off to for a whole entire year."

I cut connection to Siri as I finally spoke.

"It's fine Mianto-san, since you would be sealing our memories right?"

"Hm right, I'm going ti make a sealing formula to make everyone forget about this matter and to not change the timeline."

I finally look at Naruto who was staring at me with teary eyes. I felt my eye twitch, as I sigh.

I walk near tot he four of then as I whispered.

"The future me is fine, don't worry about him. Instead get strong and bring him back."

I replied Naruto's question with a smile.

"One-kun—"

Number One closed his ears and secretly activated his Sharingan and stared at the sealing formula.

Number One secretly made a hand seal just so that the only thing he would forget is the talk that he and Naruto has and the information he got from siri.
