----Omake----- ( familiar face)
Gisei considers himself a smart man. He passed time playing against his friend, shikaku Nara, the smartest man in the entire village of Konoha, and his son, who has so much potential, already beating him half the times during their games.
That's why, the first time he saw his new cellmate, a boy, Five year old from what he said. Something started Nagging him.
There was... Something about the boy's face. his shaggy hair, the jawline, the eye shape, they all seemed familiar.
Especially the eyes, purple is not a common color, his wife, bless her soul, and his daughter being the only one he knows with such a pretty shade of purple.
But it's not that, it's the small red dot, they remind him of something... Someone.
He just can't quite put the finger on what.
But he has time, he'll figure it out eventually.
Not like him and Jin will be going anywhere.

Turns out Gisei's teaching were worse than I thought, and the worst is that he's going soft on us!
"Because the food here is barely enough to survive, and the fact you are both at least a year before the usual time kids start academy, I diluted my training regimen to 80% of what I usually do." He had told us the first day, after Tayuya and I had spent hours doing all kind of exercise.
By the time we stopped, every muscle in my body was hurting, I was hurting in places I didn't know could hurt, Tayuya was in a similar case, she cursed me for somehow roping her into this.
Then came the Ninjutsu part. Using part of his outfit that he had cut off, Gisei told us to make it stick to our skin, Basically the leaf exercise.
Surprisingly enough Tayuya had gotten it first the next day. I was kinda jealous, I had tried after everyone went to sleep but still couldn't get it before her. But when I know, that she will become a mistress in genjutsu, it was kinda obvious she would have better chakra control.
The days passed, We learned how to walk on the walls and ceilling, That was a fun thing to learn.
Gisei also taught us a few jutsu he knew, or at least the handsigns, as promised he had taught what he knew in our respective element, and gave us the handsigns of jutsus he didn't master but knew.
I learned the Water Bullet Jutsu and the wild water wave jutsu, Tayuya had learned the Wind Bullet variant, also she learned the wind release, gale palm and great breakthough jutsus, Of course she can't do it like Orochimaru who destroys everything in his path with it, but it's still strong enough to knock over a person probably.
Not like we can test it, with the guards constantly here, we have to dilute the jutsus a lot to make sure they don't start running around like headless chickens.
Those guys are just idiots, idiots and thugs, they could leave us alone really, not like we can escape, there's 5 sets of giant doors, all with security systems and alarms, ready to tear us apart if we tried anything.
"Gisei, will you be okay? You're still hurt. Will you really be able to fight?"
"I'll be just fine kid, I'm too young to die." He laughed, before taking off his scarf, "Beside I have made a promise to my daughter, when my wife, her mother, died I told her that I will always come back home. Can't do that if I'm dead. See there?"He pointed at one of the two ends, two black letters were sewed, a Y and G. "That's a scarf my little girl made for me when she was 6, for my birthday, I promised her that I would always wear it, so that she'll always be by my sides, no matter where I am. She was only 12 when I was captured, There is no way I'm dying before I see her have her first boyfriend, I still got to strike fear into her boyfriend's heart, like any good father. Oh god, what if she is already married?!" He put the scarf back on.
He went on about his daughter, saying she always wanted to follow his footsteps, that she'll be the best kunoichi, and that he'll be proud of her one day.
Days passed quickly, too quickly, today was the day, today Gisei would have to fight in the pit. Tayuya and I were at the cell bars, clenching our fists.
Gisei was our teacher, and probably more than that, somewhere along the way, he became our grandpa I'm sure of it, He was always smiling, telling us everything will be okay, that we will one day get out of here, he always leaves us part of his food. He always made sure to be the last asleep so that he could see if anything was wrong, always was here when we had a bad night. Even Tayuya had started calling him a geezer, which apparently is a proof she likes him, don't question it, she's weird like that.
We looked in silence as he was taken down to the ground level, a guard on each side of him, they pushed through a giant iron door, and unlocked the bindings he had. They gave him a kunai.
They closed the door, Gisei just waited in the middle. A rumble was heard, and one of the cells on the ground floor opened, they weren't normal cells, in them were the worst of the worst, people who can't be put with others, they are crazy, wether it is because of Orochimaru's experimenting on them, or in general, murderers, assassins, and a lot of other, you name it.
There is only one time they are allowed to get out, during battles, but people here call them executions, even if you live through the fight, you die after from your wounds.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
Someone finally came out, a man, no, man doesnt cut it.
He was tall, so tall he had to bend down to pass through the door of his cell, he had no shirts, revealing bulging muscles that only body builders could have.
But that wasn't the worst, It was obvious he was the result of an experiment, he had scales, sick green scales, his nails were long and sharp, but most of all, he had a 5 meters long tail protuding from his back. His eyes were ones you could see on reptiles.
Result of a mutation, he looked more like a giant crocodile than a man.
"This is who I'm fighting? An old man about to keel over at any moments."The croc-man said, he licked his lips. "I'll make sure to enjoy breaking all your bones."
Gisei said nothing.
The doors closed, and a red light lit up, it was the signal to start the fight.
The second the fight started, Gisei had disappeared, his opponent, confused looked around, before quickly putting his arms in front of his face when gisei reappeared and punched him.
The croc-man Took a step back. Before grinning, "Maybe you're not that bad." The man took a step towards Gisei, and, in an incredible burst of speed, aimed a punched right at Gisei's head.
Gisei blocked it, but still got thrown into the wall behind, a loud crack as parts of the wall collapsed on the impact.
I bit my lips, blood flowed from a small wound.
Gisei wasn't fazed though, he got out of the wall with a jump and threw the kunai he was given, straight towards the head of the croc-man, who easily evaded, The kunai embeding itself in the ground behind him, but that gave him enough time to start flowing through handsigns.
He slammed his hands on the grounds, "Earth release: Crushing walls!"
Two halves of a sphere ((or dome? IDK, if it is correct in english, tell me so I can replace it.)) rose from either side and closed in on the man.
he was about to get crushed, when suddenly, he extended both his arms and stopped the two walls, his fingers encasing themselves in the stone walls. "That all you got?" He taunted
Gisei didn't stop there though, he went through another series of hand signs before slamming his hands on the ground again, "Earth Release: Earth flow divide!"
The ground opened itself under the man, who lost his footing and found himself trapped in the air with his hands inside the rocks.
"Huh?!" he exclaimed, clearly, not having expected to be in this position.
"Earth Release: Crushing walls!" Once again, the two walls moved, this time and trapped the man underground. screaming to let him out. But the walls didn't stop, they kept going until a scream was heard.
A few seconds passed, Gisei slowly got up. "He's de-"
The ground burst open, Gisei summoned an earth dome around him who promplty shattered on one side as he was sent flying.
"Gisei/Geezer!" tayuya and I screamed, the prisonners screamed and laughed
The man had gotten out from the trap, not unscathed, his left arm was crushed, blood pouring everywhere from it and you could see some bones part sticking out, he would never be able to use it again.
"You'll pay for this you bastard, I'm going to enjoy crushing your skull."
Gisei was still on the ground, coughing from the impact. The man appeared next to him, and kicked Gisei in the stomach, sending him rolling again.
Gisei coughing got worse, blood pouring from his mouth with every cough, and It was clear that some bones were broken and pierced his skin, judging by the fact that blood stained his shirt.
The prisonners chanted 'kill him, kill him, kill him.'
The man slowly walked towards Gisei as he tried to get up"It was a good plan, get me stuck, make me fall and crush me under the ground? Too bad for you, Orochimaru-sama gave me the strength of twenty mens, I can break anything. All I had to do was Punch the ceilling with all my strength to burst it open."
He slowly closed in on Gisei, before picking him up by his right arm with his tail, "Now. It's time to finish you off, Don't worry about your kids, they'll join you soon." He grinned wickedly, his sharp nails going for Gisei's throat and pierced it. Blood poured out everywhere, staining the ground and the arm of the man.
"Nooooooooooooo!" We both screamed, I'm crying, my eyes are getting blurry and they hurt.
Despite the blood pouring out, Gisei grinned.
"What's so funny? Happy to die?" The man asked, confusion in his voice.
Then, Gisei dissolved into mud.
"Wha-" A wheezing sound was heard before a thunk. The man screamed as a kunai embeded itself at the base of his neck.
On the other side of the arena, Another Gisei was here, Unscathed, he had launched the kunai.
"You never had the real me, the moment I created that dome around me, I created a mud clone, and dove underground. All I had to do was wait for you to give me an opportunity and hit you. From the beggining of the fight, you allowed me to set the pace, that was a mistake." Gisei Lectured.
"You old fuck! I'm going to crush you!" The man took out the kuni from the back of his head and rushed at Gisei.
"Hmmph." Gisei flew another series of handsigns and slammed them again on the ground, "Earth Release: Giant stone Fist!"
Earth rose from everywhere around gisei, that took the form of a fist, it was easily 3 times the size of the already giant man. Gisei launched it towards the man.
"Ahahaha! Are you senile?! I've already proven it won't work on me! I'll just break it!" The man kept running and prepared his working arm to punch the fist that was coming towards him.
"I know, that's why I won't let you do so. Combination jutsu: Mud garden!" The ground around Gisei's hand turned into mud, and advanced quickly towards the man, he almost slipped, and had to stop to prevent falling.
Mud garden is a combination of water release and Earth release, when used the water part turns the ground into mud, starting from the hands of the user, and the earth part...
The earth part took the form of vines and grabbed the man's working arm and his legs, trapping him, more and more mud wrapped itself around him until only his head could move.
"What?!" The man looked in panic as the fist closed on him, he tried to wiggle out but the mud kept flowing, everytime he would free a part of his body, the mud would block it again, keeping him trapped. "Wait! We can talk about this!" He said.
"I do not think so." Gisei responded, a second later, the fist collided with the man who screamed as it crushed him.
Soon, the screaming stopped, silence stretched on for a solide minute, before Cheers exploded from the prisonners.
"He won! He won!" Tayuya and I screamed overjoyed, Hugging each other as we jumped in place. It took us about 10 seconds before we noticed what we were doing. We let go of each other, and I coughed.
That wasn't embarassing at all. At least she's only 4.
Gisei grinned, before swaying a little bit. The guards came in the arena and guided him back to our cell, everyone cheering him on the way for the show he just put on. The guards even did some first aid to make sure he'd live.
As soon as he arrived and the guards allowed us to move, we threw ourselves at him and hugged him tightly.
"Grandpa/Geezer!"
He was taken aback for less than a second at the fact I called him grandpa, but soon smiled, "See? I told I'd win." He smiled, before looking at me, "Huh, Tayuya, were Jin's eyes always like that?"
Tayuya let go of Gisei and put her face in front of mine.
"What? What do they have?" I asked quickly.
"They… They've turned from purple to blood red." Tayuya said slowly.
Gisei produced a small water mirror jutsu and pointed towards me.
My eyes went from a deep purple with small red dots to a vibrant blood red, Two trails of blood were on either side of my eyes, probably the tears from when I thought Gisei was dead.
I voiced our thoughts when I said, "What the fuck?!"
