Word that Masahige had confronted a member of the "Bijūtsukai" and survived was a hot topic in the village as of late. For that reason, he'd kept himself away from the general population. His battle was not a story that he wished to share with many. On this particular day, it seemed that his story was to be shared with one of his most loyal friends; Uchiha Yahiko.
Yahiko was one of his personal guards, and also a longtime friend. Of course, what could you expect when Yahiko's father had a hand in training Masahige. The two shared a teacher, and that was the base of their bond.
Masahige awaited Yahiko's arrival. His one remaining eye was closed -- resting -- while he waited.

The Uchiha heir dwlled within his chambers, sitting in absolute silence as he meditated. A knock at the door, however, alerted him. Taking a deep breath he stood, slowly opening his eyes as he trudged over to the double doors of the dojo. Upon opening them, he found one of the errand boys of Masahige had come to deliver a message to him. It would appear that the Hokage wished to have a word with him; or at least, that's what he was told.
Yahiko was well aware of the rumors that were circulating around the village. Talk of the Bijūtsukai, and Masahige's survival seemed to be a 'hot topic' among people of all ages. However, Yahiko refused to believe or acknowledge anything until he spoke with the Hokage himself. He had planned on visiting the Hokage when the time was right- and well, it seemed like now it was.
He arrived shortly after receiving word from the errand boy. After about ten minutes, he had appeared in the administration building, greeted everyone, and made his way towards the Hokage's office.
He knocked thrice.

The handle to Masahige's door was, actually, made of stone. Masahige himself willed the handle to turn, and he swung the door open from his desk. When Yahiko walked in, he would be able to see the bandages wrapped around the left side of Masahige's head.
"I was wondering when you'd come, Yahiko."

"I hope you can forgive my tardiness, Masahige-sama." He replied with a semi-bow motion. Stepping into the office, he walked over and took a seat in one of the chairs across from the Hokage. His eye brow stood straight as he noticed the bruises and bandages.
Curiosity instantly filled his mind with various questions; despite his desire to have answers, he would wait before voicing his inquiries.
"There are many rumors circumventing around the village in regards to your encounter with a Bijūtsukai member?" He started, taking a breath, he adjusted his position in his seat before finishing. "Was it the same one from before? Ōjin, I believe his name was."

The door swiftly shut.
"Unfortunately, all of the rumors are false. I would, however, like the village to believe that my encounter was with a member of the Bijūtsukai. That seems to be what my opponent had wanted me to believe, as well. The reality of the situation, though, is that the opponent I fough wielded the power of Shukaku."
He let those words sink in. Yahiko was privy to the intentions of the Bijūtsukai. They did not mean to use the Bijū as weapons. They meant to seal them away, so that the Bijū could not be used to influence or harm the world.
"My belief is that I either encountered the Ichibi itself, or it's Jinchūriki who was believed to have been killed in order to free the beast. It is also possible that another party is involved and could have captured the Ichibi for it's own purposes. I'm not quite sure what to make of the situation entirely. All I know is that I managed to leave the encounter with my life."
Minus one eye.

"The Ichibi...?" he allowed his voice to trail off as he attempted to make sense out of everything as Masahige spoke. The Shukaku was still proving to be a nuisance?
'How?' he thought inwardly.
How did it managed to slip through the outposts Konoha had throughout the country unnoticed? It would appear that there were a lot of unanswered questions regarding the Ichibi that needed to be found out, and quick.
"If I recall correctly, the Kazekage said that he believed the Shukaku somehow managed to take control over his vessel's body. If that is true then we may have a much bigger threat to deal with; although, we still shouldn't rule out any of your hypothesizes, Masahige-sama."
"Fortunately enough, you managed to return, Masahige-sama. That is all that matters now..." He laced his fingers together and sat them in his lap. "Although, I see that you didn't leave your battle unscathed."

"True," Masahige replied. "The battle claimed my left eye. I was, unfortunately, not able to shift forms quick enough in the heat of the moment. I was able to make sure the sand did not claim more, at the very least."

He allowed himself to slip into a deep thought for a second. Here he was sitting in front a long time friend, his Hokage, whom had just been injured in battle. Although he wouldn't let it show, Yahiko was angered by this situation. It was personal now.
"I have a way for you to obtain your left eye again," he stated in a monotone, his brown eyes looked directly into the Hokage's. In a moment, he would witness Yahiko's eye flood into a red hue with three tomoe spinning slowly within his pupil.
"Allow me to give you my left eye. That way, from this point on, I will always be present with you while you fight." He had an undeniable confidence radiating off of his aura now. This was a testament of his loyalty to both his village and his friend. "My Sharingan will aide you- my sight is perfect! Whether it be one of those Tamers you face, or a Bijū...there is no way they will not succumb to my eyes."

Masahige fell into a long silence. That was no ordinary offer, even coming from a loyal friend. He broke his silence after many moments.
"Thank you, my friend."
He wasn't sure what else he could say. Denying such an offer was unthinkable. Yahiko was doing much more than giving Masahige his full vision again. He was also giving Masahige the power to further protect the Hidden Leaf. As the Hokage, he could not refuse this offer.

LATER THAT DAY
"Yahiko-san's loyalty to you and the should never be questioned," Sakura spoke, entering the waiting room where the Hokage would've been sitting in for the past hour or two. "His left eye was successfully removed, and replaced by one of the doner organs we have stored in the infirmary."
Looking down at the clipboard where she kept track of all of her patience, appointments, and her 'To-Do List', the rosy haired medic directed Masahige to follow her by waving her hand in an upward motion.
The valiant Uchiha was in recovery, and his eye, which was going to be implanted within the Hokage, was being prepped and cleaned for implantation. The two made their way through down two sets of hallways. "Right this way," Sakura said opening the door to the room where the surgery would be conducted.
Looking at her clipboard once again, she flipped through a couple pages before she found the yellow slip that had all the information gathered during the physical Masahige took earlier, during the previous surgery. Everything looked fine according to his physical.
"Your physical condition is at its' peak. You're cleared for surgery. Just lie down. I will send my aides in momentarily so we can begin the operation swiftly."
NOW
"There we go," Sakura smiled, stepping away from the operating table with a smile. "Everything went well."
With his face wrapped with bandages, standing in front of the door that lead to the hallway where all the surgeries were conducted, the Uchiha waited patiently to hear the about the outcome of the Hokage's operation. He'd been waiting for around twenty minutes.
Before long, he spotted Sakura walking down the hallway, right after she threw away the gloves she had been wearing. She still had her clipboards in her hand, pressed delicately against her bosom.
"How did the surgery go?" asked Yahiko, his left rubbing the bandages that covered his new eye. Besides a few aches, which was probably his body adjusting to its' new organ, he felt completely fine. It was almost as if nothing happened to him at all. It was glorious how great of a medic Sakura was- she truly was the successor of the late Tsunade.
"It was a success." Sakura replied with a nod and a war grin. Her aged features still looked beautiful when she smiled at others. "Masahige-dono is in Recovery now. He should be awake soon."

Masahige remained silent the whole time, reflecting on recent events. With this eye, gifted to him by Yahiko, he had gained an advantage. It was necessary that he began training as soon as possible. He was certain Yahiko would be willing to help in that endeavor.
Change was coming.
End of thread, yo. |
