*Yawn*, Gin yawned lazily as he continued to watch the forest for the 10th time. 'I have nothing to do except wait for the bridge to be complete. Nami and Sasuki entered into an alliance where they kept me away from training until I completely healed according to them' Gin thoughts 'I feel completely fine though but they wouldn't listen, I mean I have a hell path that heals all my injuries unless I die.'
"Bored huh?" Haruto asked, he also joined me here. 'Kakashi taught them tree walking and water walking techniques which were much easier now due to kushina and Minato being alive. Since Haruto is a genius who can rival me even though I am still better due to the system otherwise, I would rank both of us as the same level of genius.'
[As if, without me, you would be a cannon fodder a chunni at best.]
'Nora, I created a sword style that made me rival a jonine at the age of 12 not only that but I also mastered the first stage for all of the natural transformation' Gin replied
[ Only because of my gifts when entering the academy]
'Whatever he–' Gin was cut off in the middle of his thought by a kick to the ribs by Haruto. Gin looked at him after landing rough on the ground and said "Dude, Really?"
"What? You were distracted in enemy territory as your rival, I had to remind you that ninja always keeps his eyes open" Haruto said with a wink, Gin got up and dusted himself off as he said
"Oh, if so what do you think your sister will do to you when she finds out that you hit an (air quotes) injured Gin"
"I can let Mom handle her plus, it is not like you are going to tell her about this. I know that you are also itching for a fight" Haruto responded as we got into our respective taijutsu stances Haruto said "Only taijutsu, no nin, gen, or dou"
"Why? Afraid I will beat you with the rinnegan" Gin said, Haruto responded by taking the initiative for the match. He threw a punch at me which Gin easily blocked using my arms, but he didn't let on as he followed with a bunch of punches from just his left hand only. Each one aimed at Gin's chest and vitals, They were going to hurt if hit but gin used his palm to block all of them.
After deflecting them, Gin pushed forward going into the offense as he did an open kick on Haruto's face, he blocked it by raising his arms but Gin then used that arm as an anchor to lift him onto the leg and delivered an axe kick to Haruto's head. Haruto used his other arms to catch the leg although his feet went into the earth and he winced from the pain. He also grabbed onto the other leg, it was too fast for Gin to pull back and he swang Gin into a tree.
Gin caught himself mid-air by doing a flip and landing on the tree perfectly horizontal, as they again got into their stance. A horrifying killing intent smashed into them, they both turned their head shakily as they saw Nami who looked like an oni with her tail in 9 parts and fire around her. Both of them sweated a lot and turned their head back, before sprinting in full speed away from Nami.
"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU GOING?" Nami yelled following them throughout the forest.
{Time skip, unknown location}
A ninja in a full black outfit except for the streaks of blood that ran through the said outfit ran from tree to tree. He then perched on top tree and looked at the red moon in the sky, he slowly moved his hands to remove the black mask revealing gray hair and eyes. It was Gin, 'It took more time than anticipated to kill all of Gato's men, I hope the village liked the billion-dollar fortune that Gato left them.' He thought as he made his way home not before destroying the suit and entering through the window.
"Now, to get into bed before either of them wakes up," Gin said in a whisper.
"Either of who?" A voice spoke up, Gin froze as he looked behind him to see Satuski in her nightgown. 'Dame she is hot' Gin couldn't help but admire her but the look in her eyes of worry and grief seemed to put any thought he had to rest. She walked up to him lifted his hand and inspected it. To find tears and hurt marks all over them, although the thugs were no problem to a ninja there was some damage he had to take if he wanted to break through those iron-plated armor.
Satuski after looking at the blood, pulled out her fist aid kit and applied some basic treatment. Gin winced when she put disinfector on his hand, "Bear with it, the wound will heal" she said.
"You know I am a ninja right? I can handle this much pain with ease" Gin said with an eyebrow raised at her statement.
"I know, it was not meant for you," She said, the room was heavy with unspoken words when she was bandaging the wound she finally said "You know you're an asshole sometimes. Do you realize that if you get hurt even if it doesn't hurt you, it hurts those who care for you? Can you think of anyone who loves you before you go on taking on the entire world on your own?"
"What then? I should just let it go and hope for the best. I did what I had to protect us" Gin answered with a sharp voice in his tone.
"Well, you could have told us. We could have gone with you, why do you have to take on everything alone? Do you understand the pain that brings to the person who loves you?" She responded with an equally sharp tone.
"Did I ask for anyone's love? It is your fault for giving me something and expecting me to take care of it." He said now him arguing with her, she looked at him with a disappointed gaze as she turned and left. Gin held her hand and said "I am sorr-"
"Leave my hand. Since you don't need anyone's love why don't you die alone" She said with a little bit more cold to her tone than usual. Gin has flashbacks of his previous life in front of a casket as it was lowered onto the floor. 'Tisk, now we are stuck dealing with him.', 'he should have died with her', 'What a sad life! He has to live alone now'. The black humanized creatures were whispering these as Gin continued to cry. When Gin came back out of the flashback he was back in the room only Satuski left and he was all alone. 'Just like I always been…' he though as he went to sleep.
