Third Subordinate? [21]

"You guys can go to the living room and do your daily shogi and chess matches ok?" I tell both Karin and Asashi as I want to visit Danzo right now to claim my final subordinate of my choosing.

I did give him three favours after all so if I don't get to choose one more person then I will call bullshit.

Heading back to my room, I prepared myself with a quick shower and fresh clothes.

'Nothing beats a cold shower when it's needed.'

Walking through the hallways while humming I start to think for a bit.

Danzo will probably ask me where I want my next subordinate to be from as he most definitely has a lot of options for me. I mean the guy pulled up four documents on young Uzumaki's locations and knows that a kid has mud release when the kid himself didn't know.

Well I'm sure it was because of his family lineage but you get the point, if he needed some kids to turn into soldiers he would have already by now but I assume he has all the forces he needs.

To be honest the location I'm gonna choose has to be kiri no doubt about it.

No matter what anyone says, Kiri if their kage wasn't put in a genjutsu would 100% be the second strongest village with some of the most broken kekkei genkai.

Fucking Haku can make a space time ninjutsu with ice while Kimimaro is 2v1 Lee and Gaara in which Gaara could make a whole ass sand tsunami covering the whole openfield, this battle was even probably winnable for Kimimaro aswell if he wasn't dying from his disease.

I know they are prodigies and shit but imagine the warring state eras where prodigies were popping by left and right.

They also got shark people but we don't talk about them.

Making my way through the Shimura's main compound building I enter the Clan head's room for the second time this month.

"Ojisan, I want a third one!" I shout as I enter the place

I'm being pretty disrespectful right now but it's actually me bantering with Danzo. This man has been annoying me in shogi recently with him even refusing to play chess as he smiles at me, the audacity this man has.

"Hello Raiden, how has your day been so far?"

"It's been pretty good, my subordinates have been training diligently while improving on their skill sets." I reply making Danzo nod.

"Speaking of your outting today I want to know about your involvement with a certain boy this morning, been making a few specific friends lately, I'm guessing you already know what he is?" He says while stamping a few pieces of paper.

"He's a Jinchuriki right, his chakra feels extremely violent and with him not having any tenketsu points this proves my guess even more. For some reason though everyone either ignores him or gives him hateful looks. Isn't it kind of stupid to treat the emotionally unstable kid with two personalities horribly as he's a literal bomb that could destroy the whole village?" I question him back.

--POV Danzo--

While stamping a few more papers I hear Raiden's reply to my question.

Quite the smart boy he has become over the years, he will become someone I will take advantage of when he turns 18 as I will most likely ask him to go to war for me and eliminate a few villages, with his strength I predict he will become a kage level shinobi without any problems.

By that time with my planning I should be Hokage by then if Orochimaru gets his petty revenge on Hiruzen.

What I did to the Jinchuriki boy might tick Raiden off thought which won't really matter as he is mature enough despite his age. I think I should tell him about my plan with the Uchihas as I already seeped it into his mind for a few years now how the Uchiha has to go to save the village which is true.

Their eyes cursed with trauma, can never be beneficial for the village in any way other than being soldiers.

But recently over the past few years they have been pushing their luck.

It's better if they are gone for good and with their eyes fuelling my power even more, I should be able to secure a surprise kill on Hiruzen if he doesn't get finished off by Orochimaru.

"Raiden you know for a while now how I've been detesting the Uchiha yes?" I ask him as I change the subject.

Raiden hearing this starts to nod while tensing up.

'Nervous now eh?'

"I know you have noticed and even heard about the rumors of a demon in the village that you now know as your "friend" Naruto right? I've spread rumours about his appearance and age everywhere through the village, why do you think so?" I asked Raiden seeing if he could answer the question that has many different pros and cons.

"Would it be to eventually recruit him to root?" Raiden answers.

"You don't know the full scope of things so an answer like this was expected and was what I wanted everyone else to believe which has worked. You see I want the Uchiha gone and I've been removing their authority for a long time now which has alerted them, but the night of the kyubi incident was when the real fun happens."

"So many ways I could blame the Uchiha and blackmail them, but it would be too obvious and could get be kicked as an Elder so I needed to shift everyones attention to somebody else, and who else could it be other than the little boy Naruto. With everyone worrying about the "Demon" alive and in the flesh of a child, all their attention starts to revolve around him while the pressure on the Uchiha keeps on growing. So using this opportunity I used it as a way to distract everyone making them think that I wanted the Jinchuriki for myself but that wasn't what I really wanted." I say making Raidens eyes widen.

"Damn, you got the village running in circles." Raiden says in awe as he now understands what I did.

"I just wanted to tell you this as I don't want you to interact with the Uchiha much unless it's at the academy as I don't want them to somehow use you as a hostage okay?"

Raiden hearing me nods.

"But lets talk about the real reason you came here for."

"I'm here to get my final subordinate as I want a third for the already two I have. I want this person to have a kekkei genkai or at the least good potential, ages span from 8-11 and must come from somewhere in Kiri." Raiden says in a neutral tone.

"I recently got a report yesterday on a little girl who got rejected by her town near Kiri if you are interested." I asked Raiden curious if he was interested.

"I'm interest." He immediately responds.

Using Anbu code to tell Rat to bring me the documents of the girl, I proceed to clear out my desk.

Rat soon after I finish making space on my desk hands me a paper with the girls description.

'Crystal release eh, I remember fighting one of those users in the second war.'

"Guren, no last name and is the last known person with crystal release. Age 9."

--POV Raiden--

Hearing the name Guren I suddenly realise who it is.

'Damn wasn't she someone from Orochimaru's collection of orphaned prodigies?'

Walking up to the desk I grab the papers and look through her information.

'Being abused by villagers, damn. That's worse than Naruto's situation, at least Naruto doesn't get any physical abuse but she gets hit for being "different" than others.'

"I choose her Ojisan." I say making up my mind.

'Wait if Karin is a future M and with my knowledge of Guren, isn't she an M too?' I think to myself not understanding what I'm getting my future self into.
