The Path of a Shinobi (Reader x various)

The Brothers

"Terrible."

"I know you're not satisfied with the outcome but you fucked up thinking you could do it on your own. You've changed so much since when we were kids!"

"Because I can see the future of Ninshu with these!" He pointed to his Sharingan.

"You got them because Ashura and I almost died by that little boy creature!" I threw my arms in the air and turned around. I took in a deep breath and tried calming myself down.

'Keep your cool (Y/n). I didn't come here to argue but to talk.'

Indra stood right behind me and there were blue sparks flickering in his hand before it formed into a ball of lightning that enveloped his entire hand. He raised his hand to the level of my back and with gritted teeth, he drew his arm back and I turned around with wide eyes.

"What are you doing?" I uttered in fright as I looked at him and his jutsu.

"Just as I thought, I can't kill you even though you betrayed me," he muttered under his breath.

"What?" I asked since I didn't hear what he said.

"I wanted to try out this jutsu and show you." The lightning from his hand disappeared and I warily looked at him.

"Right.... well I wanted to tell you there's going to be a feast later and your father and brother are hoping you show up and support them."

"I'll see..."

"That's all I came by for. I'll see you later," I turned around and was about to walk out until he called out to me.

"You like Ashura, don't you?"

I processed what he had said for a second before I looked over my shoulder and smirked, "Yeah I do. So what?"

His eyes hardened and a burning rage was lingering inside him. "You were suppose to like me."

I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I never pinned Indra as someone I would like romantically and I never expected him to like me, but I could tell he did by the way he acted or by his words.

"I'm sorry..." I turned my head facing forward and walked out and winced when I heard him cry out in rage and punch something.

~A Few Hours Later~

The night was filled with joy and laughter. Everyone was eating to their heart's content and seated themselves around a pit of fire with their friends and chattered and danced amongst each other.

It was the liveliest I've seen them.

But I haven't seen any sign of the two brothers.

I walked around and ran into Taizo who was sitting with Kanna on a log.

"Well if it isn't our new assistant," cheered Taizo and I playfully rolled my eyes at him. "How does it feel?"

"Well it was expected. I was already chosen beforehand," I shrugged my shoulders before glancing to the one right next to him.

"And you're Kanna. I'm (Y/n), it's nice to meet you," I greeted and she did the same.

"Two beauties meeting one another," admired Taizo and I furrowed my brows at him before I smacked him on the head.

"So where's Ashura? I haven't seen him," I asked Taizo but he shrugged his shoulders.

"Probably off doing some successor ritual."

"Taizo," I sternly said.

"I'm just saying!" He defensively said with his arms midair before he dropped them. "But you know, I'm glad Ashura was chosen as successor. Master Indra is smart and a genius with Ninshu but he has a coldness to him while Ashura understands a person's pain. He's a bit dense, but this last journey really matured him. Enough to make you fall in love with him and follow him all the way here," teased Taizo to Kanna at the end who blushed.
