Chapter 152 - Ch152. Righteous Kidnapping
Rei and Tsunade were lying on a blanket, fiercely making out while their hands roamed the body of the other as they panted and m.o.a.ned in between the kisses. Tsunade"s feet were firmly locked around Rei"s waist while Rei"s body was pinning her down onto the blanket, pressing his chest on hers.
It was already midnight and both were very disheveled, their clothes torn in many places since they were at it for eight hours straight. By now, it was only their training as a ninja and countless nights spent together that prevented both of them from acting on their l.u.s.t, undressing, and having straight out s.e.x with each other right on the hill close to the village of the Kaguya clan they currently "watched".
Who said something so senseless such as the observation jobs were boring?
Suddenly, Rei stopped and pulled a bit away from Tsunade who let out a protesting groan, pulling herself up to reach for his lips only to be stopped by Rei putting his hand on her cheek and gently caressing it, waking her from the pheromones-induced desire.
"We will have a guest in a minute. Let"s tidy ourselves up." Rei pecked her lips for one more time before pulling a new set of clothes from his Dimension Storage Seal and started to change his attire.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTsunade huffed at that. She finally got her alone time with Rei and it barely lasted eight incredible sweet hazy quick amazing... hours. "Shit, I really do love him beyond all reason, don"t I?" She bit her lower lip while her cheeks painted themselves red as she realized just how much she had fallen for Rei. Sighing in resignation, Tsunade also pulled out a new set of clothes and started redressing.
A minute later, exactly as Rei said, a white-haired woman wearing white kimono walked towards them. Her pace was slow, almost timid and Rei instantly saw a few bruises on her face, no matter how low she tried to hold her head to hide them. Her steps were measured, calm, and careful but it was all too easy to pinpoint the smallest of winces every time she stepped on her left foot.
"So she is our contact in the Kaguya village? The one who wished our help to flee?" Rei frowned and from the corner of his eyes, he could see that even Tsunade had her own conclusions from the state of the woman. These were certainly much worse than his since she was a seasoned medic ninja. Rei could only mentally shake his head. "Well, I can guess why the woman would desire to run from the Kaguya clan. Meh, their loss, my gain."
"Hello, my name is Chizuru Kaguya, nice to meet you." The woman bowed low as she introduced herself. "Am I correct to presume you are Rei and Konan of Yozora?"
Rei lifted his eyebrow at her polite speech while Tsunade chuckled. "I am Rei," He introduced himself before pointing at Tsunade, "and this is Tsunade. We heard you would be interested in emigration?"
"Yes... when I was visiting Kuzari town with my husband I certainly discreetly showed a desire to... change my current owners to a local merchant from the Biri-Biri company who promised to arrange this meeting. I would be willing to come under your employ if you are willing to treat me well." Chizuru subconsciously rubbed her left forearm as she spoke in an even emotionless but polite tone.
Tsunade didn"t answer. She just abruptly moved towards Chizuru who stiffened. Her posture instantly changed to a defensive one as her pupils dilated, only to relax when Tsunade showed her hand glowing in a coating of medical chakra. Chizuru then, still somewhat warily, let Tsunade approach her and when Tsunade placed her palm onto Chizuru"s bruised cheek, the white-haired woman took a sharp breath from the nice feeling it gave her. A stray tear rolled down her left cheek as she showed a bitter smile and sniffed. This single gesture of kindness was actually one of the nicest things in her life.
Rei on the other hand watched the woman like a hawk before smirking. "And your real purpose being?"
Chizuru barely restrained herself from taking a step back before sighing and giving Rei a sheepish expression. "As expected, I really can"t keep secrets. My desire is for women of the Kaguya clan who desire a safe haven to be accepted by you. At first, I wanted to see the conditions and the way you will treat me, and if I deem it appropriate, I would request-"
"Fine, fine..." Rei waved his hand in annoyance. The woman was just too... polite. Honestly, it was a bit irritating for him. "We can take all of those who are willing to leave with us right now. Do you still want to come and check the conditions by yourself or are you willing to gamble?" He shrewdly asked.
Chizuru slowly looked towards Tsunade before lowering her head. "I accept. If you can take all of us then I would be glad." She quietly said.
"Well then... god for you that Tsunade made the preparations." Rei said, making Tsunade darkly chuckle.
"Yup, I wonder how effective my newest anti-Kaguya drug will be..."
...
The chilly night wind spread through the Kaguya village as the time neared 1 am. Slowly, a mist started to form, blanketing the area but the guards did not panic as this was natural for the Land of Water. They only checked if there is a chakra in the mist and when they discovered there was none, their shoulders immediately relaxed.
Minutes ticked by as the mist thickened and soon, by the time the clock rang 2 am, the mist covered the whole village in a thick white mist. The Kaguya clansmen slowly became weary and sluggish, their eyes dropping as their bones appeared to become heavier and heavier in their bodies.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe whole village... fall asleep.
At the entrance, Rei, Tsunade, and Chizuru watched as the white mist with zero visibility cleared in under ten seconds, only faint wisps of it remaining in the area.
"To think such a way to defeat the fabled Kaguya clan existed..." Chizuru whispered to herself in utter astonishment as she remembered the pill Tsunade gave her to counter the effects of her drug that was spread through the village alongside Rei"s mist.
Chizuru, like every member of the Kaguya clan, lived with a simple perception of the world. Violence and brutal physical might were supposed to be the greatest thing. Thanks to the Kaguya physique, even poisons that would be instantly lethal to others only made them ill for an hour or two. When Chizuru saw her clansmen fall unconscious due to some unknown drug? She was scared beyond the grave and suddenly Tsunade became somebody to be regarded only with the utmost respect.
From then on, the entire mission was incredibly easy. They strolled around the sleeping village, feeding pills to women at whom Chizuru pointed, explained the situation, watched how those women rejoiced, before gathering in the square when Chizuru"s entire group of around sixty young women was awake.
After that, both Tsunade and Rei created around thirty clones each and sent one clone with one woman to gather other people in the village they would be taking. This time, they didn"t wake them and they would be relocated while unconscious.
"Man~, who would think I would be kidnapping young kids and girls?" Rei whined as he watched around 40 sleeping kids under 5 years old being placed on the square right next to the sleeping forms of around a hundred girls up to 17 years old. "I somehow feel really dirty..." Rei deadpanned, making Tsunade giggle.
"Well, just imagine what would become of them without us doing this." She tried to cheer him up, causing Rei to give her a playful look.
"Sure... we can count this as righteous kidnapping, then." He nodded with a snort.
It didn"t take long for around three hundred of the Kaguya clansmen, most of them still asleep, to be relocated to Uzushio.
Just like that, the biggest case of missing people greeted the world.
