Shadow's Inferno
Hey all. This is a new story I had thought up. I will be discontinuing Brothers Bond to use Tatsu in this story. I know you might think it's not very creative, but I didn't even get that far into Brother Bond, and I thought this idea for Tatsu was better.
This story takes place two years after the fourth shinobi war. At this time Naruto AND Sasuke are the worlds hero. Only through their team work were they able to defeat the incredible power of Obito, the Juubi's jinchuriki.. However, Naruto and Sasuke did not return to the hidden leaf. Instead they went off to look into some information the four hokage had shared. What was the information, and why was it so important? Lets watch as the rookie 12 go off on a brand new adventure.
This is an OC story, and I'm really going for character development. Comments are always accepted and appreciated. But please, not bashing.
Chapter one: New Adventure
Tsunade slumped back in her chair. The day had been long and stressful, and the war did little to lessen her paperwork, and duties. She opened the bottom drawer, revealing a sake bottle and dish.
Pulling the two porcelain items out, she went and poured herself a hefty drink and gulped it down with an 'ahh'. Then, before she could pour herself another drink, there was a soft knock at the door. So, she put away her favorite drink and beckoned to her guest. "Come in."
With a turn of the door knob, a certain pink haired shinobi walked into the Hokage's office. Tsunade could help but take notice at how much her star pupil had grown in two short years. Her signature pink hair had grown to quite a long length, and she now wore it back into a lose ponytail that easily reached her shoulder blades. Her attire consisted of a dark red sleeveless shirt, black gloves, high black boots and black spandex leggings with a light brown apron skirt. Over all of this she wore a plain white lab coat that read medical chief on the back. Her hitai-ate at the same place it has always been, holding her hair back.
Tsunade had promoted her student immediately after the war. It was obvious that the girl had more skill in her pinky than the rest of the medical staff combined. With becoming medical chief she also got promoted to jonin. Not only her, but also the entire rookie 12 that remained got promoted.
It wasn't until the pink haired girl had spoken that Tsunade broke from her thoughts and came back to reality.
"I have this weeks report Shisho." Tsunade nodded her head before accepting the brown clipboard Sakura had brought in with her. The Godaime's eyes quickly looked over the information, she noticed that the hospital had finally calmed.
After the war refugees from all around came to Konoha for healing. For a while they had to use the academy as extra space for all the sick and injured. It wasn't as though Konoha was suffering just as much from the loss of so many medic-nin during the war. But at last things had calmed and the world seemed to be back to normal, well as normal as it could.
"Very good Sakura." Tsunade began signing the paper and handing the clipboard back to her student. Sakura began to walk away, but an ANBU came into the room stopping her momentarily.
"Hokage-sama." The ANBU said bowing his head low awaiting his Hokage's orders.
"Report." The ANBU rose to his feet and stood up straight.
"Border patrol spotted three shinobi crossing into Fire Country." Both the Hokage and Sakura jumped to attention. "Two match the description of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto. What are your orders?"
The Hokage thought for several minutes before she responded. Sasuke was a hero, and everyone knew it. Many had watched as Naruto and Sasuke defeated Obito, so no one would question her for simply allowing the boy back into the village. But, she wasn't about to let the boy go on without punishment.
"Intercept them, and excort them here. I wish to speak with Sasuke and Naruto." Tsunade said with authority.
"Hai, Hokage-sama!" the ANBU said before he Shunshin away.
Sakura continued on her way out, but the Hokage coughed into her hand making her stop in tracks and turned to face her Shisho.
"Stay, I want you here when he arrives. Your two-sense is important to me." Sakura was a little taken back by her teacher's words. She never knew that the Hokage had so much trust in her.
"H-hai, Hokage-sama." Sakura said a little shaky before she stepped back into the room and took a seat across the desk from Tsunade.
"So…" The blonde woman started putting her head in her hands. "You excited to see HIM again?" Sakura just jumped up and blushed.
"S-shisho!" Tsunade laughed heartedly at her student's embarrassment. But, Sakura could lie to herself. She was excited, scared, anxious, nervous, horrified, and happy to see her old teammate again. Perhaps now things will be back to normal.
Meanwhile…
Outside of Konoha three figures blurred by jumping from tree to tree. The one in the lead suddenly stopped to look at the site ahead of him. All three looked on at the sight ahead of them. Konohagakure, the village of their aspiration's, dream's, nightmares, and even hope. The leader of the group removed his hood to reveal blonde hair and azure blue eyes. He looked back at the other two with a fond smile.
His first companion also removed his hood to show is raven hair and red spinning eyes that quickly turned back to their usual onyx. He gave the blonde a curt nod and looked to their third comrade.
The third group member kept his hood up. But, even with it up his pitch-black hair came flowing out, and his bright yellow glowed in contrast. A thin smile crossed the mans face and his pointy white teeth glistened in the sunlight.
Then all three looked back towards the large village breathing in the memories, both bad and good.
"Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto." An ANBU said pulling Sasuke and Naruto out of his nostalgia. "You are to come with us. Hokage-sama wishes to speak with you."
Sasuke nodded his head in approval. "Good we wish to speak with her as well."
