The Shinobi With The Straw Hat

"That's what they all said! If you do not leave this place, we will kill you!" the old man was enraged, he panted heavily.     

A little kid came near him and patted the old man gently on the back.     

"Grandpa, the two misters have saved us from death. If not for them, we would have not survived to see all of you back."     

The old man looked at his grandson and looked back at Kentaro and Mū.     

"If it is the truth, then I want to apologize for my...sudden rage. Those who have saved our young ones are our friends."     

The old man's face returned to normal.     

The men and the elderly came to Kentaro and Mū and shook their hands out of gratitude.     

"My name is Kentaro Fujimoto and this is Mū. We have been traveling from the far land of earth to here, only to meet your clan."     

The old man nodded in comprehension, he led Kentaro and Mū to a certain area of the cave.     

This area was filled with injured people. Some of them had missing limbs while others were dead. Those were the results of constant war.     

The old man stopped besides a middle aged man, he had a bandage covering his eyes and a large wound near his chest.     

"Clan leader, Kentaro and Mū have come from far away to meet you." the clan leader slowly turned his head in all the senses.     

"They are at your left." the old man said calmly.     

His head was now turned towards Kentaro and Mū. He opened his mouth and began talking with his weak voice.     

"...Kentaro...Mū. I am Hintao,....head of the Chinoike clan. What...can I do for you?" Kentaro shook Hintao's hand.     

"I am from the Fujimoto clan, I want to bring your clan back with me. Here, your lives are always at risk, your shinobi have little to no real skills compared to your enemies."     

Everyone stayed silent for a good five seconds, Hintao was undoubtedly thinking about what to say.     

"Kentaro, what tells me that you are telling the truth? In the past, many people had the same speech. They only coveted our eyes, the Ketsuryugan is both a blessing and a calamity."     

Before Kentaro could say something, Hintao kept talking.     

"Look at me, my eyes have been taken by the Senko clan. They are obsessed by dojutsu, that's also why the Hyuga are enemy with them. The Senko clan has attempted numerous times to snatch the Byakugan."     

To Kentaro, it greatly ressembled to the Hyuga affair. When Kumo attempted to kidnap Hinata for her Byakugan and its secrets.     

It looked like them wanting to take dojutsu and discover their secrets was already something they did in this time.     

"Hintao, what if I find your eyes and give them back to you?" Kentaro thought that this would be a good way to show his goodwill.     

"Look at my state, death is only a few steps away. Find my eyes and the clan will be forever loyal to you"     

This was good news, but something didn't seem right to Kentaro.     

"But, once I find your eyes, what shall I do with them?"     

"Since I'll be dead, keep them for yourself. It will be the sign of my clan's allegiance, to give you our precious dojutsu." Kentaro nodded.     

He was not interested in any dojutsu and he would not implant the Ketsuryugan into himself.     

'This will be the perfect replacement for Habiki's right eye.' Kentaro and Mū bed farewell to Hintao.     

The old man looked at Kentaro and Mū leaving the area where all the wounded were, he looked back at Hintao.     

"Clan leader, giving them the Ketsuryugan? Are you sure about that?" the old man was uncertain about Hintao's decision.     

"Iguro, worry not my dear friend. All of you will be under the wings of the mighty Fujimoto clan, your safety will not be a problem anymore."     

Kentaro and Mū left the cave, they had a mission to finish. Finding Hintao's eyes.     

"Mū, find the Senko clan's hideout or encampment. I'll go find the Hyuga clan, I'll try to recruit them too."     

"When I'll find the Senko clan, I will immediately notify you." having heard this, Kentaro disappeared.     

Mū flew towards the field of thunderstorms, from there he could find footsteps and all sorts of things that could lead him to the Senko clan.     

Kentaro was hanging on a big tree, now that he was alone it would be the best time to eat the five unique bananas.     

'I think it's time to eat them. Monkey sage, I hope that you didn't lie to me.' Kentaro opened the cloth bag that was hanging on his waist.     

'Five bananas for the five affinities. I'm impatient to eat them.' Kentaro took the red banana.     

He peeled it and quickly ate it, at first glance, he felt nothing. Slowly, his body temperature began rising.     

"I'm getting hot! I...I didn't expect that." Kentaro climbed on top of the tree and began meditating.     

He tried to calm the Raging fire inside of him, his body temperature soon dropped back to normal.     

Like this, Kentaro ate every banana. He felt the increase in power, at the moment there was no one who was as strong as him.     

He sensed the chakras in the whole area, Kentaro soon found many fire chakra close to each other.     

"It must be the Hyuga clan." Kentaro jumped down and decided to use the golden staff for the first time.     

While running he placed the staff to his right, when he held it, he felt as if it was part of his body.     

The end of the staff grew bigger and longer, the staff became fifty meters long and propelled Kentaro far and high in the air.     

Even though the staff became so big, it stayed as light as a feather in Kentaro's hand.     

In the air, he looked towards where the Hyuga clan was.     

"Hyuga clan, here I come."
