"Alright, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Tell us who sent you and we'll let you two go, or…" Sakura paused halfway.
"We can use that tickle attack Sukuna used to do on us back when we're kids, what you think about it Sakura-chan." Grinned the idiot ruining the atmosphere.
"Narutoooo, baka can't you keep your mouth shut, you're suppose to play the bad cop here…"
"But I'm…"
"Sigh… forget it, I shouldn't have let you do it in the first place, if only Sukuna was here."
"Yeah, the job suits him perfectly."
"He did pull off this kind of things pretty easily, I sometimes wonder what kind of menace he would have been in his past life…" Sakura muttered under her breath.
"Tsk, are you two idiots done. If so then let me just use a genjutsu or something on them already." Sasuke clicked his tongue, he wondered why Kakashi even let them play with the captured shinobi.
Their fight against the snow shinobis weren't as hard as they thought it would be. Yes, those chakra absorption armours were a pain in their genin ass, since their Jonin sensei was flirting with their client instead of helping them out.
But, they pulled it off, even captured two of the three enemy shinobi. The leader ran away though.
The chakra armor was hard to bypass, especially with normal chakra based attacks, however, overpower them and they'll break just as anything which is not chakra metal under a full-power Rasengan from a chakra monster like Naruto, who actually had learned how to more or less use his chakra efficiently under Sukuna, and an even louder Chidori by Sasuke.
Turns out Sakura was the one handling the leader back then, they only learned afterwards, once the leader was gone and the sidekicks finally opened their mouths.
Not her fault though, she did do damage with her pure chakra-based super strength. However, it just didn't pack as much punch as Rasengan or Chidori at this stage. She needed more training.
"Can we just get over with it already." Sasuke once again sighed, finding the entire interrogation they were conducting a complete waste of time. "Just let me use the Sharingan…" He grumbled.
Both Sakura and Naruto looked at their last team member, then those captured and helpless shinobi who too looked completely tired of their attempt of interrogation and ultimately gave up.
"Sharingan…"
Sasuke's eyes shifted and…
"You don't have to say it you know. We all know you like your pretty little red eyes. No need to rub it in.." Naruto grumbled.
Sasuke bit back his irritation and focused entirely on the interrogation part for the time being. 'I'll deal with that dope later.' He swore to himself.
Say what you will about those stupid eyes, they were strong. Very strong.
And this time around Sasuke actually had someone to teach him how to use them correctly. He learned not only the in fight application but also skills like he doesn't usually use, like Genjutsu.
Under his Sharingan's influence they spoke everything. From Doto's plan to capture Yukie Fujikaze who was actually the princess of the land of snow, 'Koyuki Kazahana..'
From Doto to capture the land of fire, killing his brother and ruling the land under his tyranny. Hunting down his own niece…
Everything was laid bare.
"Kakashi sensei, you sure this mission was C rank…" Sakura gave the one eyed jonin sensei who seemed to be more interested in his little orange book than them a hard look.
"Yes, it was…" he gave a single eye smile to her pupil…
'Focus on 'was', I assume.' Sasuke frowned.
"What are we gonna do now ?"
"What else, we gonna go to the land of snow, kick that Doto's butt and save the country." Naruto grinned.
"Are you an idiot, that could cause an international incident there." Sasuke spoke, more practical. He wished to fight, however, he was more practical in the team than anyone else.
Kakashi seemed to finally perk up hearing 'international incident,' and closed his book. That was his level of trouble he could handle after his genin.
"Sasuke is right, we can't just enter another country and carry out a mission like that, at least not without Hokage's direct orders."
"But Kakashi Sensei…" Naruto wished to complain.
"This is final Naruto. We can only enter into that country as long as we have direct permission from Lord Hokage."
"But… but what about that Doto, what if he sends more shinobi after Yukie."
"That's why we're here Naruto. We'll protect her until we get a response from Hokage, until then, we have to stay put."
"Okay then do that, how long will it take."
"Few days, we are quite a bit further away from the land of fire after all." Kakashi shrugged.
That definitely put a damper on the situation.

[Back in Konoha]
After the truth was out, the hostile glares Izumi was getting from the only other two curse users.
Kiyomi mostly refused to pay her any attention, the girl was mostly ignoring her. So she was training Karin now in hand-to-hand.
Since Izumi can't use chakra, there wasn't much she can teach Karin on that, however, when it comes to hand-to-hand, Izumi was confident in her technique. And thus decided to teach Karin hand-to-hand fighting. To her surprise, the girl's basics were already solid, so the earlier training plan turned into a sparring instead, Izumi fixing the little things the girl did wrong.
Both Sukuna and Kiyomi sat on the side now, watching their new jonin sensei getting accustomed to their strengths and weaknesses.
"Don't tell me you believe her." Kiyomi suddenly spoke.
"There is nothing to not believe. Everything she said was under the vow. As for my belief goes, I believe that and that alone. I don't believe her, I believe the vow." Sukuna shrugged.
Kiyomi didn't say anything for a while, her feelings regarding this situation was a mess. To see the body of her beloved mentor and almost big sister being used by another like this was torture.
She had two thoughts about killing this sorcerer herself, however, that wouldn't accomplish her much, instead she'll be labelled as a traitor.
"How is it even possible, to come reborn inside Izumi's body after she died like that. I don't believe the bitch doesn't know anything about it, she's lying." She gritted her teeth.
"We were born in this world like this, I still don't know the reason, and by that look on your face, I sure believe you don't have any idea either. If we exist here like this, why not believe in that."
"Because you know why, at least we were born, like really born. Not hijack a dead corpse like her." She retorted with much passion. Temper rising. Ever since this girl has unlocked her Mangekyo, she surely had gotten fierce and temperamental.
"When did you recall that you weren't exactly Kiyomi Uchiha, how old were you exactly ?" Sukuna pointed at her, expecting her not to answer, which is what happened, but he did earn an irritated look from her.
"I was 4 or 5..."
"Now tell me, suddenly recalling memories not native to this world, a mind which once lived beyond this life. Is this also 'Hijack...' as you say. If so then I'm not that different ?" He shrugged.
Kiyomi pursed her lips, she couldn't retort since her own condition was the same. She recalled her memories when she was that age as well. Exactly when a jujutsu sorcerer unlocks his or her curse technique.
"There are multiple ways to see this, either this other personality always existed inside her just like it did with us, but unlike us, it never woke up, at least not until she died.
Or... it was because she died that this Izumi came to live. There will always be some trails regarding our situations as long as we have enough examples to compare with." Sukuna muttered, recalling his theory about why he came here.
Arguably him coming here felt so generic isekai that he didn't even give it a thought until he knew Kiyomi was here as well.
Then his theory was formed. There were multiple honestly. But the one which stuck the most was them being twins.
That was the only similarity between them. So Sukuna could only think that this was the world's way of giving them a way, a second chance. If he was feeling idealistic that is.
However, now Izumi being here changes that narrative.
"Like ?" Kiyomi of course didn't understand what he meant.
"Like finding more like ours. We find them if they exist. See why they exist here. Even if none of them knew like us, we can figure out something from their original point.
How they died. When they died. Who killed them. How they got reincarnated? Whether they were born like us, or came to life from a corpse.
Until now, the three things similar between us three is that we are jujutsu sorcerers, we both were killed and didn't die a natural death and we died quite close to each other if my assumption of our new Jonin sensei's identity is accurate."
Kiyomi raised her brows slightly, honestly a bit creeped out at how he connected the dots. Once again she recalled who she was interacting with.
'Keep your distance Kiyomi, this guy's dangerous, more so than you even thought he was.' Kiyomi pursed her lips.
xXx
A/N : No some of you might say Mai wasn't killed, but she would have died anyways, she was badly injuired. Technically she was killed. It just she died faster by her own action. If you guys are wondering that is.
