Coming Home with a Variety of Scars

Kizaru laid badly burned under a rough blanket that the caravan driver had thrown over them. He could see now that they were all in really bad shape. Had the blade not been as hot as it was they all would certainly have bled to death. He was happy to be alive, but angry with himself. He didnt do a single thing to defend himself or his friends. They all almost died and they just stood there and took it. He was pathetic.

As they pulled into Konoha the gate guard approached the caravan and got a good look at them. He didnt know what could be done for the three of them but said they would try their best to get them help.

"We're Konoha shinobi." Kizaru weakly managed to say to the man. His lungs felt like they were on fire when he spoke.

Chuta’s body was writhing in pain. Missing and eye, and arm, his ears, and a foot. His world was hard and muffled. Burns scarred his body even more than it was already. This world was a cruel place. Thankfully there were those who showed love, they gave him a blanket and wrapped his wounds while he was unconscious. Anger flooded through him as he look around with his one eye. They were helpless and weak. Oh, if his uncle could see him now...

The once blazing orb of fire rising above Konoha with pride now seemingly disappeared from existence. The ginger instantly took notice of that as he groggily woke up. His eyes took a while to get accustomed to, despite having the dormant blood of the Uchiha in his body before his transplant. Getting off his bed with a light push from his hands, it wobbled a bit. Tadashi grimaced at the sight of it, remembering the manner he broke his bed. His father, Soichirou fixed it up with a medium amount of difficulty. The man only needed strong, adhesive tape to reattach the splintering old parts of mangled wood along with high-grade screws that had estimated viability of a few years. It cost him a pretty penny compared to the other things tools he purchased before. If only he had paid that much money for the bed.

As Tadashi entered the bathroom, he noticed from the mirror that his base eyes were sapphire-blue instead of Senhime's dark brown. The Ace smirked, very pleased with how his transplant turned out. It seemed as though his eyes transformed into dark blue overnight. The ginger suspected that it was the natural side-effect of Raijin, the jutsu he crafted which transmutes Lightning Chakra into natural lightning. This was his eyes, he would make sure of it. After taking a thorough shower, he dressed in his bedroom. Instead of his usual black and white jersey zip, he would change up his getup. Tadashi adorned a black jacket, resembling one of a tracksuit, a scarlet red t-shirt, elastic and jet black pants made for ninjas, black fingerless gloves, shoes, a red scarf, and finally his trusty sword, Yurai strapped on his back. He had guard duty today, so he would have to wear something more combat-oriented in case of an intruder.

As he left his house, he would channel chakra throughout his body to Body Flicker towards the gates, standing in the middle of them. A few minutes eerily passed as a solemn wind arose ominously. A sudden premonition from his head showed up, revealing a pre-image of what he was about to see. A picture from his mind, showing a sinister, yet an ethereal vision of 3 shinobi extremely bloodied. Their ligaments were torn... Body parts and eyes were missing as well. The teen couldn't decipher what this meant, all too blurry to truly understand. Suddenly, his head would ache, grasping it with his right hand immediately. His eyes subconsciously closed and winced from the pain. As the ginger reopened his eyes, something that would be engrained through the rest of his life occurred...

A caravan, housing 3 males, with blankets only hiding their bare bodies. One shinobi man had a dismembered foot and leg, blood somehow not oozing out of him. His ears were both cut off, resembling a pitiful egg. A hole was the only thing left in one of his eye sockets. Another male who seemed to be a few years older than Tadashi had both legs cut off, human seepage eerily not seeping out of him as well. Finally was the youngest, Yoi. Tadashi's Kouhai who did a mission with Minato and him had his left arm and both eyes ripped out. Bandages were the only thing that could cover the unsightly view. What creature could do something so inhumanely to a group of supposed Genin? Was it a bear? A summoning? Or maybe a Rogue Ninja? It didn't matter now. They only needed to survive.

The teen would rush at full speed to the caravan, anyone looking could only see a flash of light before he seemingly appeared in front of them. Upon further inspection, it would appear like a horrific nightmare. Flashes of his mother's lifeless body would cloud his mind, trying his absolute best not to break down from the horror from inside the caravan. Somehow, Tadashi suppressed his urge to vomit and faint or just crawling up in a human ball. His glare turned fierce, both in resoluteness and in unbridled rage. How dare they hurt Yoi, and how DARE they harm shinobi of Konoha! He turned to the nearest guard, with a harsh glare, resembling one of an enraged lion.

"Get medics. Now."

"What for? Boy?" The guard asked quite fearingly. An aura of unsuppressed chakra would surge through Tadashi before he activated his Sharingan. His expression morphed into something more sinister... Rage Incarnate. In an instant, the guard would see himself being picked up by the shirt, the demonic glare still surging through the Ace,

"GET THE DAMN MEDICS BEFORE THEY FUCKING DIE!!!" The ginger roared before dropping the feeble guard on the ground before the older man scurried away in haste. Tadashi would proceed to form the clone seal with one hand as his shadow clone, Sadashi would form 1 meter to the left of him. You could never expect an inexperienced guard to do his job correctly. "Get Nekrun." Was the message relayed to the shadow clone. Sadashi would run at top speed with haste towards Nekrun's house before knocking on the door. If Nekrun responded by opening the door, the clone would tell the Uzumaki to get to the gates before dispersing. 

Tadashi would keep a close eye, 1 meter in front of a caravan while applying spare pain reliever pills from his storage displacement to ease the pain for the males. Of course, if they declined, he would stop. Yoi would be a special case as Tadashi would explain to him what the Yuki needed to know.

This was the second time the young teen realized how cruel the ninja world was.

WC: 1040

Nekrun woke up to a sudden and loud knocking on the door which sounded urgent as the subject wouldn't stop knocking. Nekrun would open the door to Sadashi and ask groggily "what do you need?". The shadow clone quickly explained the situation to Nekrun. Nekrun grabbed the clone and yelled "Well don't waste time explaining it to me next time goddammit we have people dying out there!!!" Nekrun would run out of the house leaving the clone behind with the door open as Fuyo's cat looked out to see what was happening all Matatabi saw was Nekrun running at top speed into the distance. Nekrun finally arrived at the gate and looked around to find the caravan where he ran inside. Thanks to his many hours working at the hospital he had grown to not even look away at the sight of blood. "This isn't too bad, I've seen worse up in the hospital" Nekrun lied hopping to relieve the three lying there a bit. He quickly applied a chakra anesthetic to ease the pain they felt, they would all feel as if they were just lying there without ever having been cut because of the nullifying effects of the anesthetic. Nekrun quickly pulled out his corpse scroll of oda, he knew it would come in handy eventually. He used the body replication technique to start making copies of all the missing limbs after checking for broken bones, internal bleeding, or anything they wouldn't be able to see at the surface, but everything looked fine. Nekrun quickly attached the copies starting with the eyes to the boys using mystical palm. In all he had to attach a left arm, 3 eyes, a right arm, 2 ears, 1 right foot, and two legs, but it was all worth it when he got to see the three boys put back all together like little dolls that you could just pull apart and remake good as new, switching the size and shape of each body part. Nekrun knew it might not be easy for a little bit with these odd sized limbs for their bodies to get use to, but they would have to manage with what he could do. Nekrun quickly put away the corpse scroll and had the caravan bring the boys to the hospital where they would finish recovery at lightning speed thanks to the great medical staff there. Nekrun had done what he could for the boys and at least gave them back the limbs they lost, but he hoped they had learned that this is one reason they should get stronger and he hoped to see them in the chuunin exams coming up.

An unusual sight met the aburame lord as he studied the outside from his vantage point. Apparently there was a merchant and as such along with various signatures amid the merchants goods. That and the unsettling sight met him with them being wounded. The mess of lower ranks dancing about was unsettling.

fugatives?

He thought as he floated down from the top of the wall.  A simple detection of his signature from the guards would straighten their composure. Yet he payed them no mind. His gaze as a medical shinobi fell on the wounds and he frowned.

The first quip he had as he spoke a sharp contrast to the boy tadashi.

"Calm  down mr. namikaze and clear the road for the cart please."

Yen stated as without losing a beat and  continuing smoothly onto the merchant yen  spoke up.

"We will house them. Assistant leader of the village and commander of the forces of konoha. Yensung aburame and head of the forces. Our forces will look them over and see..."

Yen paused for a split second as he gazed at one boys eyes were completely covered. But the damage alone was apparent. His insects hummed that they were capable as well thanks to his kilshiku ability to smell chakra. They were barely alive.

"What we can do for them."

Yen stated as he weaved a clone handseal and two clones popped up next to him. (shadow clone: used)

While one began to weave the seals for mystical healing palms, (power:85) and got to work on the boys cycling through each one thoroughly  and grimacing at the wounds. If he could save them he would. But they all needed serious surgery. The other took point 50 meters behind the caravan and monitored the perimeter for any induviduals should this be a trap.

The real yen in the meantime gestured to any shinobi nearby to contact any, and all medical shonobi to assemble at the gate, or hospital, and prepare several operation and quarantined rooms. For each one to stay in.

"Where did you discover these boys sir?" He asked the merchant between orders being barked out with efficency, and speed. The shinobi forces assembled and cleared the pathway included to the hospital. The clone ordered each boy should they have consciousness.

"Lay still and please tell me what happened. Your names if possible."

Although he noted one was missing ears so he began to shift his healing between the three at as much speed he could to properly stablize each one.  As

"We are clearing them now. But most of these wounds must be cleared in hospital setting. The missing limbs and extremities must be replaced too. All in the case of the hospital. Right now we should send them there right away. I need additional medics!"

The clone stated as he hastily worked. The memory of failing to save kasai flashed in each of the lord amd clones minds.

no never again. It is why i became a medic. I failed my parents. I was weak, i failed kasai. I was too weak then. But now im powerful. Now im the one to bring them to standing again.

Each one thought in unison  as the cart with the yen clone maintaining balance with the nsurface walking technique on the cart surfacs.  and care on the boys kept at healing the boys, and began to head towards the hospital. the aburame lord would thank the man as he would in thanks have a new cart brought to the man with fresh supplies and goods.

"thank you sir"

Kizaru awoke to hands touching him and oddly enough, pain leaving his body. It was only slightly dulling the excruciating agony but he was incredibly grateful for it. He looked up to see a man he didn't recognize, but he did recognize their surroundings. They had made it back to Konoha and were at the village gates. Tears began to well up in the boy's eyes and relief flooded his body. They were home, bloodied and devastated, but home.

After a few moments of the first man healing the 3 injured ninja, a second medic arrived. This one seemed to be focused on surgery. He masterfully stitched the boys together with new body parts. Kizaru could barely believe his eyes. When it was done he could even twitch his new toes. Medical ninjutsu was incredible! He wondered for a moment how things might have been different if one of them on the mission was capable of healing like this. He would have to remember to look into it, a possible way to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again.

"Thank you both so much." He said weakly, "I don't think we would've made it without you." He passed out again, still in a lot of pain. He was brought to the hospital for further care, but his worries were lessened massively. His comrades would be okay.

As the ginger roared towards the guard, Yensung would reapproach him firmly. Tadashi would turn to the cloaked Aburame, unable to find words to retort at his senior. He would see himself looking down, waiting for the blond Uzumaki. A familiar chakra signature grew nearer to the gates, revealing to be Nekrun. The Aburame and Uzumaki performed their Medical Ninjutsu as the ginger removed himself from the caravan after giving the victims the pain medication. He sighed while pondering melancholically about the males. "Who the hell would do something like this?!" He thought, still enraged at the sight of them. What kind of monster could torture the 3 genins? If it were a bandit, it would have been common sense to just give them money instead of wasting their energy in a worthless quarrel. No. It had to be someone who wanted to harm them in the first place. However, if the person in question wanted to do so, why didn't they just kill the of 3 then leave? The person risked knowledge of who they are, potential knowledge on their combat abilities, and a certain bounty on their heads. 

"How annoying." Tadashi ruminated. This was going to be a long day. He only hoped that Yoi and the other 2 wouldn't be scarred for life due to the magnitude of their injuries. Around this time, the 3 shinobi would be transferred to the hospital, emergency care. Nekrun and Yensung seemed to have alleviated the wounds a fair bit, leaving only time and patience to do the job. The ginger needed to find answers so that he could report to Kinzoku about the situation. Hopefully, the Hokage would understand the brevity of the matter and aid the shinobi in their recovery. There were many other things to do about this such as extracting information on what attacked them as well as their compensation. Nevertheless, the Ace would get to the bottom of this. He would follow the three to the hospital to extract answers. He wasn't a person who'd abandon his comrades.

Never.
