《Loose Screws》5. Vol 1 - Of Head and Ami

"Ah, I'm so sorry," I then said as I try to help my target picking up her groceries.
My target then just smile at me, "No no, It's my bad..",
As she grabs her groceries, I notice a bump on her. "Oh," I never feel so guilty in my life before.
"How many month?" I ask, trying to be casual and not being a guilty rat I am. Then my target smile at me kindly, and my heart starts to squished.
Her smile reminded me of my mother,
"If you don't mind me to ask, How many children do you have?"
"Only one," She then touches her bulged tummy with love, "This little one will be my first one,"
"Oh, Congratulation,"
I then manage to let myself give her a smile. Not a genuine one, but close enough to be one.
"I'm really sorry," I then said as I stare at her eyes and try to 'genjutsu her'.
'I'm really bad at this,' I then say to myself in my head. Then I try to keep trying to make a scene that she grabs a knife and kill the husband by stabbing it repeatedly.
'I'm really sorry,'.
Then my target eyes flashing into a red and then return to her regular eye color.
Her face then went stoic and lifeless,
As if she-
"She died,".
I then accidentally let my mouth loose, I then watch with fascination how my target walks toward which I'm guessing to her home.
Sitting on the branch near my target house, I then wait for a scream. Or anything.
Then it happened.
The husband currently running outside calling for help with his wife holding a knife screaming at him about something.
Then the husband died.
After that, my target suddenly looking at my way,

"As if she's waiting for the next instruction?"
I then watch her in fascination.
The feeling of guilt was gone in an instant.
"Run and hide, make sure no one knows you are alive," I then whisper to the wind. My target, who now is my puppet, nod and run.
Then I watch on how people who were the bystander screaming for help and try to catch the wife.
Yet, somehow she was agile and faster than any of the adult man in the village.
"This is interesting,"
I then touch my chin, "I need to experiment on this, And is it permanent or just temporary? Or will they remember what happened, or will they forget?"
I then shrug my shoulder, "Oh well. Now, I probably need to go back to Suna to proof that my mission is good?"
Then I remember something,
"Do I need the head for the proof?"
I then look at the husband dead body whose face shown disbelieved, scared and more importantly betrayed with his body shown multiple stabs wound.
. . .
I didn't really have time to experiment on my Target who's currently is branded as a killer that on a loose.
But, I manage to steal some money from their house.
I'm not sure if Bank exists in this world, but I am just glad that they got money saved up under the bed and some broken crack under the floor.
It was a giant roll as well too,
And do I feel guilty to rob them? No,
The money will go to the mistress who orders me to kill them anyway. So let's just say this is her Karma.
Putting the money on my pocket, I then go to the woods to clean up any blood on me.
Looking at the bloodied bag that I have, Which have the husband head, I then let out a string of curses. Why? Because I don't have any black cloth on me to hide the head for the proof that I did my mission,

So I get the darkest Kimono that was on the target house. And just use it as a bag or carrier.
"Should've known that I need around 4 or 5 layers!" Looking at the blood dripping, I then grumbled.
I actually have no clue how those serial killers from movies actually manage to get the head without blood dripping everywhere.
"Because this shit keep bleeding!" I then scream out in frustration.
I then look at the bundle of blood I have and scowl.
"Fucking shit,"
I then kick the bundled that contained the head. then I notice I need that for my proof, "Oh shit! I need that!" I then scream out, Running to the rolling bundled.
Then suddenly I see a stranger, whos currently laughing, stopping the bundle of head and grin at me.
"Uh, Hello. Can I have that back please?" I then ask,
Then I notice that his headband is actually slashed.
With my Naruto experience, slashed headband means an enemy to the unslashed headband. And I have an unslashed headband.
Then the man just laughed.
"Uh, do you want to fight?" I then ask hesitantly.
Why? Because first, I don't know what's his level at. And second, I don't know how to fight,
The man then raises his nonexistent eyebrow.
Then I notice that beside him is a female, or male, who currently watching at their way in concern.
"Hey, I see what you did to that lady who murders her own husband, Is that a Bloodline?" He then grins as he grabs the head.
Which I then raise my eyebrow at him, "Yea? And?"
"No, just wondering if you can help me with something,"
With that, I raise my own existing eyebrow.
"Why would I?" I then said, trying to use the logic of the world for once,
Then the man laughs, "Let's just say, We got a mission and have a little bump on it,".
"And?"
I then ask, as I don't think it is right for a normal ninja trying to help a missing-nin, Whether they become a missing-nin because of a reason or not.
"Well, we can see the compassion you have for the lady," He then replied with a grin. Then suddenly his women were gone and back with my pregnant target who I tell to run and hide.
Then I let out a groan, "You got to be fucking kidding me!"
I then grumble as I watch the pregnant lady face,
"Really? You really get caught?" I then grumble toward her way, Which causes her lifeless face to tilt in confusion.
"You got one job, Ami! one job!" I really didn't know her name, but I will call her Ami,
"Sorry," Ami then sais with her dead voice. I then can feel the back of my neck hair to go up. It's really creeping me out.
"Yeah, yeah. Just- Argh!"
I then just grumbled in the end and look at the man who's currently looking smug.
"I think you want to fight,"
Then the man just smiles at me and have his kunai on Ami's neck.
"yea, you really want to fight." Then I focus on the women beside him and look at in her eyes.
Then the woman drops as if he was lifeless.
"HAKU!"
The captor of Ami then screams out. Then I realized something.
"Oh hell,"

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!
