Naruto: Child of Chakra

Chapter 47 - 47. Country Of Cowards



"AAAAAAaaaa..."

Gato rolled on the ground in pain. He cursed Shiroken while at it. Continuously saying he would destroy him, kill him or something else. ​​

"Stop it, come, I will heal you. I am a medical ninja." Shiroken offered.

Gato felt as if life came back to him and he shoved his bleeding arm towards Shiroken, "Please..."

Shiroken picked up the man's detached hand and attached it back to his arm. It only took him a few minutes. This was not very hard for him to do, if it was to grow another arm, then it would've been a problem.

"Done, what a masterful healer I am." Shiroken proudly praised himself.

"NOOOO!!!" Gato screamed in agony and frustration. Shiroken had attached his hand in the wrong direction, so now his palm faced up when the arm was down.

Shiroken shrugged, "Sorry, no refunds, I did my best. I hope you don't use that hand for unholy activities, or else now your left one is the only hope."

"YOU! WHO ARE YOU?" Gato screamingly asked.

*SLAP*

Shiroken slapped him hard enough to throw him on the ground, "I am the New Daimyo of Wave Country. And, you, a private company, dare to rule the country like you are some king? Do you not know it's illegal? And even going as far as giving the death punishment to people?"

"Shisui, take away their weapons." Shisui moved in a flash, and when he appeared back in his original place he had a few swords and other weapons. The Blind Uchiha was getting faster and faster with each passing day.

Shiroken jumped and stood above the crusification cross, he then healed the man that was hanging on it, but he did not help him get down.

Soon, the man was conscious and looking around. He looked at Shiroken with gratefulness, "Thank you, Lord Daimyo."

~This guy really accepted me as his Daimyo so quickly, no wonder a company was able to take over them~ Shiroken thought.

"Don't get comfortable, just stay silent and watch. Your punishment may be over, but theirs hasn't." He pointed at the people watching the scene.

"People of the Country of Waves... Ah, I mispronounced the name. People of the Country of Cowards. I am deeply disappointed in you all. Look around you, how many of you are there? Thousands, or even more? Look here, how many people are here? How many people does Gato have? 20? 30?

"And yet, look at your pathetic faces, crying and cowering in fear. These people are not even Ninjas and yet you all fear them like they are some beasts.

"Where is unity? Where is brotherhood? These scoundrels thrive in your fear, your division because they know, the day you are all united will be the day their rule will end. God has given you free will, and you are scared to even fight for that freedom?

"Huh, pathetic. If you have even a shred of self-respect then raise your arms, pick whatever you find, stones, utensils or even sticks, but do not let them make you slaves. I had heard this country was supposed to be very prosperous, but you let Gato establish his power here, a drug dealer and smuggler.

"Tell me, what did this man do that deserved death?" He asked everyone, pointing at the crucified man.

"NOTHING! Dad helps the village a lot. He believes in protecting the things that are precious to you, with your own two arms. B-But Gato... Dad tried to stop him." A boy, probably the crucified man's son shouted.

"THIS IS TRUE! But Gato decided to use Kaiza to scare anyone who hoped to stand against him. To do this, he had his bodyguards cut off Kaiza's arms mocking his statement of "protecting the things you love with both arms" This is his only crime." An older man added.

Shiroken looked at Gato with angry eyes, scaring him. But, he showed the same eyes to the villagers, "You let your own villager be beaten and nearly get killed. Why must there be only one Kaiza? Why can't all of you be Kaiza? This is YOUR land. This is YOUR country. Kaiza is one of YOUR people. RISE UP! FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM! FIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY. Because I only help those who want to help themselves."

Blood boiling, anger rising. The people felt ashamed because what Shiroken said was true. Even if it was harsh, it was the truth. They clenched their fists.

"Kill him,"

"Let's kill him,"

"LET'S KILL GATO!"

Voices of anger started to rise among the people, they started to pick stones or whatever they could find and then one by one climbing the metal mesh boundary.

Gato, shaken and scared, screamed to call his men, "GATO COMPANY! Gather and save me, I pay you for this."

*WOOSH*

Out of nowhere, 20 men came with swords and stood behind Gato to intimidate the people. The people who were rushing at him stopped, but they started throwing stones at them.

"YOU DARE DISOBEY ME? Haha... I have hired someone special today, a real ninja, a real legendary strong ninja." Gato threatened the villagers.

Shiroken's face became angry as he noticed who was rushing to the site. The new man was obviously a ninja and he stood in front of all the Gato's men to lead them.

Shiroken coldly voiced from there, "ZABUZA, what are you doing?"

Zabuza shuddered, sensing Shiroken's voice in the back. He had not noticed him standing up there.

"I-I had taken the contract to protect Gato," Zabuza replied.

Shiroken, with no change in tone, angrily ordered him, "Then cancel the contract. I can understand that you did not know about your client, but if you do this even after knowing about things about him, I will not forgive you. I already gave you a chance, there will be no second chance, only death will come."

Then he looked at the remaining men who were laughing and gloating evilly, some looking at women while licking their lips, thinking about killing and exploiting the people. "I will count to 5, if you do not drop your weapons until then, your heads will roll."

"ONE!"

The men were still laughing, slowly walking towards him, thinking about dealing with him first.

"TWO!"

Shiroken started exerting his aura, which was nothing but him releasing the Natural Energy from his body, which in return made the air thick around him.

"THREE!"

All of the men were now having doubtful thoughts about whether they should go ahead with this attack or not. But, they had already taken the first step so there was no backing down now.

"FOUR!"

~Crap... this is scary~ They felt.

"FIVE!"

"Fuc...k" All of them exclaimed at the same time.

Shiroken didn't even move, but he was seen putting his bloodied sword back in its scabbard. Everyone wondered what had happened. But the attackers seemed to have frozen in their places.

Their eyes widened, nearly popping out.

*THUD X20*

20 heads fell from their bodies, rolling down, then at the same time all the headless bodies fell. He had given them a chance, and they did not take it, so he acted. He gave Zabuza a chance too, and he was yet to decide if he was going to spoil that chance or not.

"ZABUZA! Decide now if you want to end up like them? A murderer? A rapist? A thief? Or become a better person? This is your chance to repent, repay and reduce the damage you have caused to the world." Shiroken ordered in a threatening voice. There was not even an ounce of doubt that he wouldn't kill Zabuza if he made the wrong choice today. Shiroken saw the world as already full of criminals, he would not let one alive if they did not have any plan of becoming good.

"STOP IT, BROTHER ZABUZA!" Haku yelled at him, worried about the person who gave him food when he was on the verge of dying. He knew that Zabuza was a bad person, but he was still his saviour.

Gato was truly frightened at this point, his legs had given up and he couldn't even stand up. Meanwhile, the people who were raging about killing Gato not long ago became silent, knowing this was not where they should meddle.

Zabuza calmly looked at the bloodied field. The heads had their eyes still open. These people died before even knowing whom they were fighting, and neither were they able to tell their names. Meaning that these men died for nothing, nobody will ever remember them.

He looked up at Shiroken. Their eyes met, and for the first time, he saw Shiroken being so serious. He was not this serious even when he was fighting the whole Kirigakure Shinobi army.

~Whoever he is, he's surely not a human. Yet...~ He saw the villagers and the saved man who was still stuck on the cross.

~Yet he's more human than anyone here~ Zabuza felt.

*Sigh*

Taking one last glance at Haku, he made up his mind. "LORD DAMA, I have a request."

Shiroken thought Zabuza had decided to fight him and wanted to ask for the last wish. "Go ahead,"

"Can you... Can you give me a small loan of a million Ryo?"
