Naruto trials of death
A quiet calm lay over the hidden village of Konoha. The outer guards stood alert and ready for any threat that may come from outside the village. Anbu patrolled the inner city; moving from rooftop to rooftop seeking any threats from within. But despite all the security, like death itself a lone figure in a black robe moved through the village unnoticed. The figure stopped to observe an Anbu Captain who landed a few feet in front of him; The Captain looked around for a few seconds and jumped back up to the roofs to continue his patrol. The figure shook his head with a slight chuckle," you need to be a little bit older if your going to see me," he thought to himself. Looking up at the Hokage building he began to remember, his mind wondering to the last time he was here. The night the Nine Tail Fox attacked, the lives lost just trying to slow it down. For no one had the strength to stop it, No one that is except the village hokage at the time, Arashi. He not only sacrificed himself, but also his son when he sealed kyuubi within him. Why must he be drawn to death, why was he chosen to suffer? Well at least this time he was requested for. As he continued on his way toward the hokage's office, he had a bad feeling about all of this. Why had Tsunade requested to see him?
Tsunade sat in her office awaiting the arrival of a special visitor. The hour was late but she had to make sure no one knew he was here. As the minutes past she became more and more worried. She would be calling in a big favor, one that her grandfather the second Hokage earned a long time ago. "Where is he?" She thought, "Did he decide not to come?" Ahhh, the waiting was killing her. She hated waiting, the only person that was really bad about being late was Kakashi, but he was always late. So why was this pissing her off more than….. Suddenly she felt it. It was very faint, but she felt it. She placed her hands on her desk, and as calmly as she could possibly say, "Your already here aren't you Shikyo?" The figure that had been standing behind her slowly walked around to the front of her desk. Tsunade finally saw him and what she saw scared her. Shikyo wore an ancient black robe with the hood pulled over so far that all that could be seen was his lower jaw. His hands and what she could see of his face were pale white and very thin almost skeletal. Whether he was using an illusionary technique or he naturally looked that way she couldn't tell. He carried no weapons but he didn't need to. His very presence radiated fear. Tsunade had to use every ounce of courage she had not to run for what felt like her very life. Shikyo finally stopped in front of her desk, and though she couldn't see his eyes it felt like he was looking in to her very soul. "Took you long enough Tsunade, if you had taken any longer to notice me I might have gotten bored and left" replied Shikyo, "you sent for me, now what is it you want?" Tsunade tried to compose herself as best she could. "I need you to help conduct a test." She replied, "Not just a test of strength or loyalty, but one to make sure that someone can control the power that lies within them, and that they will not be controlled by it." "I take it you are referring to the kyuubi container Naruto." Replied Shikyo, Tsunade gave a slight nod and seamed on the verge of tears. "You do realize to get the boy to unlock his full power I will have to attack what is most important to him" Tsunade gave another nod. "What does he hold most dear in this world?" Tsunade was only able to say one word "Konoha" Shikyo didn't move, but the fear he radiated seamed to increase. Tsunade struggled to control herself as his gaze put pressure on her very soul. "You want me to attack the one thing your grandfather held most dear, Why?" though Shikyo's tone didn't change Tsunade felt the pressure increase with each word. "Be...cause you're... the only... one who can st...op him if he loo...ses con...troll." She struggled to say, "Do you care nothing for this village?"Tsunade felt the pressure ease up as he asked the question. "Do you not realize that if I attack this village everyone will die?" Tsunade nodded her head "yes she replied," but I also know that you can repair the damage" "Not quite Tsunade I can repair the damage I cause, but not the damage caused by others." Replied Shikyo, "if he loses control the damage he will cause will be irreversible." "Then you will have to lure him away from Konoha." Replied Tsunade as she felt the pressure lessen even more. "With him outside the village, if he loses control you can…" Tsunade looked down at her desk in utter shame at what she was saying. "You can do what needs to be done." Shikyo didn't move or say anything for the longest time then with no change in his voice he asked. "why are you doing this Tsunade? I can tell you don't want to" Tsunade gave a small sigh before she began. "To start with no one loves this village as much as Naruto. This is surprising when you consider how badly everyone treated him his whole life. Blaming him for all the lives lost when kyuubi attacked. The parents knew why, and the children followed what their parents said, but he looked past all that even though he didn't know why everyone hated him. He came in dead last at the academy and yet he knows some of the most advanced techniques that exist and has mastered them in his own unique way. His one wish in life is to become hokage so he can protect this village and everyone in it and to be acknowledged for who he is. The problem is, if he loses control of kyuubi he could destroy the very thing he is trying to protect." Shikyo stood there never moving; you would swear he was a statue as still as he was." Very well what do I receive for this task" replied Shikyo. Tsunade sat up as straight as she could before replying " I will release you from the debt owed my Grandfather the first hokage" for the first time that night she thought she saw a look of surprise on his face, but as quickly as it appeared, his face returned to normal. "Very well Tsunade I will do this task in exchange of having repaid my dept to your Grandfather." He replied, "I will return in three days, prepare for the destruction of Konoha." As Shikyo finished his statement he seemed to fade from the room as if he was never there.
Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief as he left her office, the pressure on her soul, and the presence of fear gone at last. She began to look over the mission files for something that would work, and there it was a Class B mission. Nothing to hard a little bandit trouble to the north about one days travel. That's where I'll send them" she thought they should just make it back in time. As she sat there making the final preps for team Kakashi to go on their mission, she prayed to kami that she was doing the right thing. She normally lost when she bet, but when she bet on Naruto she always won, and right now all her money was on Uzumaki Naruto. Cause if she lost this bet Orochimaru couldn't dream of doing as much damage as Shikyo could if he had a hundred years to do it in.
