Chapter 3: Chapter 003: Little Sister's Secret
Chapter 003: Little Sister's Secret
Senju Wakama needed Zetsu to teach him how to avoid his unpredictable sister.
Zetsu needed to survive under Senju Wakama is cover, hiding his form within Senju Wakama.
From then on, Senju Wakama and Zetsu became inseparable friends.
In the days that followed,
Senju Wakama was forced to practice the art of "Stealth" under Zetsu's intense "supervision."
While sleeping, "Stealth";
While defecating, "Stealth";
While urinating, "Stealth";
While walking, "Stealth";
While wading through water, "Stealth";
While climbing trees, "Stealth";
While eating, "Stealth";
While stealing bird eggs, "Stealth";
While peeking at hens laying eggs in the coop, "Stealth";
While peeking at dogs giving birth in the clan grounds, "Stealth";
While peeking at wild rabbits sneaking into the clan grounds to steal vegetables, "Stealth";
While peeking at the girls bathing in the clan grounds, "Stealth"......
......
"..Zetsu-nii, they really didn't notice me!"
Under Zetsu's absolute control, Senju Wakama emerged from the women's bathhouse in the clan grounds in a "Stealth" state.
He had just seen so many......snow-white......
Zetsu hadn't lied to him. When "Stealth" reached a certain level, most living beings seemed unable to see him.
"You truly have a rare talent. After a month and a half of training, your Stealth proficiency has already reached the third stage of the 'Art of Stealth.' Your movement speed while stealthing has increased, and there's a 60% chance you won't be detected. But it's still too dangerous."
Zetsu whispered, "They're just ordinary people, fertility machines in your clan grounds without ninja talent. If even one of them were a top-tier ninja, you'd be crippled..."
Hearing this, Senju Wakama calmed down.
Senju Wakama recalled his sister.
Before their mother passed away, his sister had been raised as a son and given the name "Matoi."
But after their mother's death,
his second brother, Senju Tobirama, personally exposed his sister's gender.
Their father, Senju Butsuma, was furious and immediately stripped her of her name.
Later, it was Senju Tobirama who took pity on their little sister, saying her hair was as silver as the light of the full moon, so he named her "Tsukishiro."
In the Senju clan today, girls without special ninja talents are sent to a unified place for upbringing.
When they reach marriageable age, whether they marry someone within the clan or are sent to another ninja clan for an alliance, that is their life.
But Senju Wakama is sister, Tsukishiro, was different.
Her god-like healing ability earned her a supreme status that even her brothers didn't have.
Although she wasn't called a "Matoi" like the boys, she was Senju Tsukishiro, the true princess of the Senju clan......
"......Huh? Zetsu-nii, where are you going?"
During this time, Zetsu had been forcibly controlling Senju Wakama is body, forcing him to practice "Stealth."
So, Senju Wakama had only zoned out for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he had no idea where he was.
Zetsu-nii had clearly taken control of his body and run off.
To the side were bushes;
Ahead were more bushes;
His field of vision was filled with leaves and grass.
Where is the path?
...
However.....
Zetsu chuckled and said, "..Didn't I tell you before? When you're strong enough, I'll take you to witness your sister's truth with your own eyes."
"Truth......truth?" Senju Wakama racked his brains, but he couldn't remember what had happened back then.
"Yes...the curse on her, her little secret." Zetsu said cautiously, "And now is the only chance to tell you the truth. In a few months, she'll become ridiculously strong, and by then, even the fifth stage of the 'Art of Stealth' might not be enough to hide from her senses."
Senju Wakama was made extremely nervous by Zetsu's tone.
Was it really that exaggerated?
A few months......
His sister was still so young. How strong could she possibly become?
"Don't doubt it," Zetsu whispered, "The more people she successfully heals, the stronger she becomes."
Senju Wakama didn't believe it in his heart, but his body was controlled by Zetsu, and in a "Stealth" state, he avoided most of the clan members and quietly "infiltrated"...the Senju clan's vegetable garden.
Vegetable garden?
Senju Wakama: "????"
Huh?
Senju Wakama watched helplessly as his body, out of his control, climbed up a large tree and hid somewhere in the canopy.
Behind the vegetable garden, nestled against the mountains and water, there were many large trees providing cover. Zetsu controlled Senju Wakama is body, hiding it in a secret spot, continuing to "Stealth" in the shadows.
Then, from the tree, Senju Wakama saw his little sister, Tsukishiro, in the vegetable garden.
At this moment, there was no one around her, and she wasn't chasing after their eldest brother for healing.
She squatted in the empty space between the vegetables, slowly making strange movements.
Senju Wakama focused his gaze.
His little sister held a branch she had picked up, poking at a pile of dung on the ground while softly singing a rhythmic song that sounded like a chant: "Zetsu-nii, Zetsu-nii, come out, Zetsu-nii, Zetsu-nii, come out......"
Senju Wakama: "...."
Wow.
Zetsu's name had slipped out of his little sister's mouth.
This already proved that his sister knew Zetsu, and she even knew that Zetsu had taken the form of a pile of dung.
The fact that his sister was poking dung while chanting "Zetsu-nii" made Senju Wakama believe Zetsu even more.
But what happened next made Senju Wakama widen his eyes in horror.
If Zetsu hadn't tightly covered his mouth, he would have screamed.
Senju Wakama saw his sister, after poking the dung and calling for Zetsu for a while without getting a response, stand up and then urinate on the pile of dung.
His little sister stood while urinating?
The arc of the stream was just like a boy's.
Thin and precise.
Senju Wakama: "!!!!!"
This was a terrifying story!
Zetsu didn't explain for the moment, controlling Senju Wakama is body and quickly fleeing the scene.
It wasn't until they "Stealthed" back to his room that Senju Wakama regained his voice.
Senju Wakama gasped loudly and asked in horror, "What's going on? Could it be...that Mother raised her as a boy, and she still thinks she's a boy now?"
However, Zetsu's voice rang in Senju Wakama is ears, "Unfortunately, it's not that she thinks she's a boy, but that she is a boy. Or rather, she is both a boy and a girl."
Senju Wakama widened his eyes, about to refute.
But then he heard Zetsu say seriously, "Wakima, don't trust your eyes too much. You call me 'nii' because of my voice, but do you think I'm male or female? Am I really male? What is a man in your perception?" Hearing this, Senju Wakama is entire body broke out in goosebumps.
Yes, Zetsu was just......a pile of dung......
Does dung even have a gender?
Senju Wakama is mind was instantly flooded with images of dung in various shapes.
Yellow, green, black, hard, runny, rotten...an uncontrollable "Oli Gee" filled his mind, and Senju Wakama is face instantly turned green.
Zetsu had no idea what Senju Wakama was thinking and assumed he was just scared.
Zetsu said matter-of-factly, "Isn't it normal for gods to have no gender?"
"But...Wakima, you must remember, this secret is only between you and me. Absolutely no one else can know......because...this is the curse she has to bear for the bad things she did in the past."
Senju Wakama widened his eyes.
Zetsu continued, "I can't appear in front of her, because as soon as she sees me, she'll ask me to help her lift the curse on her. If that happens......all the suffering she's endured will be for nothing, and the new punishment will be doubled......"
